Facebook post leads to arrests in cyberbullying suicide case – FOX 13 News.
This is so sad. Imagine yourself as a teenage girl, trying to fit in. Then your best friend steals your boyfriend. And people you thought were your friends turn on you. Everyone starts trashing you online. You start checking your FB page every few seconds to see what people are saying about you. And then someone says you should “drink bleach and die”. And person after person hits the “LIKE” Button…30 people “like” this idea. How would you feel?
This teenager killed herself over it.
Really.
Bullied online for over a year.
Her name was Rebecca Sedwick
she was 12 Years old
Here is a video on what to do now:
Let us all make the effort to get involved in our children’s “online lives”.
Do you read your children’s Facebook page?
It’s not a choice anymore – “friend” me or no internet in my house.
Parents – let us stand up and be parents.
No more suicides. No more not knowing.
It’s not all roses anymore.
