Kansas State Freshmen Get Their Wish

It's all over Twitter and various blogs: Juicy Campus, the website best known for allowing users to post gossip anonymously is closing down because of lack of revenue.
A news item in the February 09 issue of UB reported on a survey at Kansas State University that explored freshmen students' experiences with bullying and cyberbullying.
Responding to a question asking "Common cyberbullying I have personally encountered this school year includes" many students wrote in comments relating to Juicy Campus and indicating it "needs to be stopped." (17 percent experienced cyberbullying through cell phone calls or text messages, but 64 percent indicated they had not personally encountered cyberbullying.)
“Bullying typically requires an audience,” explained Elaine Johannes, an assistant professor of family studies and human services at K-State and lead researcher on the survey. "It is relevant in middle school and levels off around 10th grade."
So while the K-State freshmen breath a sigh of relief, maybe the fall of this gossip website is a chance for everyone to focus on acting a little more grown-up online.
