BullyingHotTopic.jpg

Bullying is becoming more and more common among teens across America. And it doesn't just mean getting physically pushed around -- it can also come in the form of verbal abuse or cell phone and internet harassment.

The problem is so big, E! is even airing an hour-long special called E! Investigates: Bullying on April 21 at 10 pm EST to shed light on the issue.

Now we want to hear from you, J-14ers:

- Have you ever bullied someone or been the victim of bullying? What was it about?

- Has it happened on Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, or via text?

- How does getting bullied make you feel?

So admit it: do you ever flirt via text message? Why do people firtext? Is it easier to talk to boys, whether they're a crush or a BF, when you're texting than it is in person or even on the phone? Is it a good or a bad thing to have this technology, or does it make it harder to have real convos?
