@klutzaroo I haven’t experienced cyber bullying and I have a facebook account.

I don’t know about @klutzaroo, but the brief cyberbullying I experienced was not on FaceBook…

I almost put the same answer as @klutzaroo, I really assumed some type of cyber bullying was the norm.
I’m curious to know if that is an aspect you plan to explore for your project, @noelleptc? If you don’t mind my asking.

Dunbar’s Number is a theory that there is a finite number of relationships that you can actually sustain in real life in order to have a stable group. The number is between 100 and 300 and averages out to 150. If you look at the number of FB friends that the majority of people have on FB, the average tends to fall into that range. More than that, and people tend to become stressed out trying to maintain their FB relationships.
