Bullying occurring in schools can damage a child’s life; BBC Panorama has made a report of the sexual bullying. This can occur through name-calling & gossiping to serious criminal offences like physical attacks & rape.

The answer to putting a stop to these crimes is to speak about these torments, but humiliation and fear often makes this difficult. Kidscapes Michele Elliott has seen this problem increasing. 2006 to 07 there were 3,500 pupils expelled from school.

280 who were expelled from school were from infant schools and around the ages of five. Ms Elliott said that “sexual bullying has almost become a way of asserting your power over others and for that reason it is disturbing.”

Reuters – Yahoo Inc is set to reject Microsoft Corp’s unsolicited bid, now worth $42 billion, as too low, a source familiar with the situation told Reuters on Saturday — the first clear signal the board might be prepared to negotiate and sell the Internet media giant.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Microsoft Corp has made an unsolicited offer to buy Yahoo Inc for $44.6 billion in cash and stock, seeking to join forces against Google Inc in what would be the biggest Internet deal since the Time Warner-AOL merger.

In its boldest-ever acquisition move, Microsoft said on Friday it offered $31 per share for Yahoo, or a 62 percent premium over the Internet media company’s closing stock price on Nasdaq Thursday.

Yahoo, whose shares jumped to $30.75 in premarket trading, said it would evaluate the bid.

Microsoft shares, which have a market capitalization of about $300 billion, fell 6 percent to $30.78.

Speculation over a Microsoft move on Yahoo has swirled for at least a year, as investors wondered whether the two would seek a joint stand against an ever more powerful Google.

Internet audience researcher comScore estimates Google’s share of the worldwide Web search market has reached 77 percent, while Yahoo is second with 16 percent and Microsoft was a distant third with 3.7 percent.

“Microsoft’s wanted to do things that could build up its online business dramatically,” said Brendan Barnicle, an analyst at Pacific Crest Securities. “This is going to be a big bet for them. But I also think it’s where they see the market going, so they really needed to get there.

“This is more than a shot across the bow at Google, because you put these two guys together who are basically two and three in search and makes them far more relevant,” he added.

Critics of a tie-up, however, have pointed out that Microsoft and Yahoo have very different corporate cultures and many overlapping businesses, from instant messaging to email and advertising, as well as news, travel and finance sites.
