WASHINGTON - A local teenager is leading a nationwide crusade against bullying with the help of a data scientist and web-based technology.

"We can track down and see where bullying occurs the most," explains Viraj Puri, 13, of Fairfax County. "It puts pressure on the authorities to fix bullying as soon as possible."

The teen has also been speaking with lawmakers and attorneys general in his effort to crack down on bullying activity.

According to the tech-savvy teen, the site scans the Internet and pinpoints key words that indicate bullying activity is occurring in a particular place.

"We use social network such as Facebook, Twitter and that kind of stuff," Puri explains. "We're trying to improve it as time goes on."

Puri says he took action after his brother was verbally and psychically bullied in middle school.

Puri's website, www.bullyvention.com, features a map of the United States with certain areas highlighted. In those spots, bullying has recently been a problem.

That map is totally inaccurate. There is plenty of bullying in the south, but probably not as good a recording system.

What were anyone of you trolls doing at 13 ?
It certainly shows you aren't doing anything of worth now.

Prostitution...old as the hills

Poverty...old as the hills

Drugs/alcohol...old as the hills

Theft...old as the hills

Laws against the above haven't eliminated the above...still with a approximately constant rate of occurance throughout history.

Bullying...old as the hills

What's different?

Legislating the nice??? Really???? How well have the "authorities" done with other situations that have been with mankind since the dawn of mankind?

Make laws that are enfoceable AND that don't infringe on the First Amendment (or any other Constitutional rights we have).
