www.cyberbullying.us has a page of tips for teens for using the internet and the prevention of cyberbullying. I think that these sites need to be pushed more and advertised more in schools and other places that pre-teens and teens visit regularly so they can become more aware of the appropriate ways to act on the internet.
One of the tips is to pause before you post and there are so many times where people post things out of anger and don't think what they are saying who they are saying it to and the effect that that it could have. It goes along with the saying "think before you speak." The same rules that go for talking to someone in person also with talking to people through social media sites.
