| Dear siliconmom: I'm a reporter working on a story about "cyber-bullies"- the kids who torment other classmates by IM, e-mail, text messages etc. instead of the usual stuff in the playground. If your child is a victim of cyber bullies, I'd like to do a brief phone interview to discuss how you are dealing with it. Please send email to rkonrad@ap.org or call my office (408) 293-2324. I am sensitive to the fact that some children might not want their names or schools mentioned. Thanks! Rachel Konrad, Associated Press **** I |

| LETTERS Dear siliconmom: I was having a sad evening where I felt the weight of the world and there wasn't anyone to talk to. So my solution? I went to Google and searched for "static mom", hoping to find a website about the struggles of motherhood and something that might guide me. I was intrigued by the interactive component of your site and I found some of the stories appealing. Thank you for reaching back to me. It makes the world feel smaller and gentler. Sincerely, Sue from Vancouver *** |

Now that my boys are teens( that in itself has been a challenge) it would be great to go back to works. It's been hard in so many ways. Any advice or tips? Older silicon mom *** |
