"No More Cyber Bullying " Cyber bullying is a serious matter that
can no longer be ignored. Most kids use cyber bullying because they
think that they can get away with it. There are many children who
will not tell their parents or a trusted adult about this abuse.
That's when things get worst and a lot of these children
contemplate suicide. We have lost too many children because of this
horrible epidemic. We need to stand together as a unit to put a
stop to this and say "No More Cyber Bullying " We don't have to
live this way. Parents should talk to their children openly and
children should be free to talk to their parents or someone that
they can trust. There's no reason why anyone should be bullied.

ample time to develop her imagination, sense of adventure, and
independence. Millie left her small hometown to attend the
University of Iowa, where she became the first person to earn a
master's degree from the school of journalism. While still a
graduate student, Millie began writing for the Stratemeyer
Syndicate, which published the phenomenally popular Hardy Boys
series, among many others. Soon, Edward Stratemeyer tapped Millie
for a new series starring amateur sleuth Nancy Drew, a young,
independent woman not unlike Millie herself. The syndicate paid its
writers a flat fee for their work and published the books under
pseudonyms. Under the pen name Carolyn Keene, Millie went on to
write twenty-three of the first thirty books of the Nancy Drew
Mystery Stories. In all, Millie wrote more than a hundred novels
for young people under her own name and under pseudonyms. Millie
was also a journalist for the Toledo (Ohio) Times and The Blade. At

her love of aviation with her passion for writing, sharing her
