In this article a 13- year girl named Megan Meier committed suicide from online bullying. She was bullied by a 16- year old boy who went by the name Josh Evans. Later to find out that it really wasn’t a16- year old boy it was one of Megan’s friend’s moms. This girl was no longer friends with Megan and her mom wanted to see if she would say anything about her daughter online. Later on nothing happened so she abruptly stopped this friendship and started sending messages saying that Megan was fat and that she was a slut. This little girl already suffers from depression and attention deficit disorder committed suicide because “Josh Evans” said that the world would be better off if she wasn’t in it anymore and that he heard from other people that she was a mean and cruel person. In my mind this was a terrible thing to do to a girl who had so much going for her. I don’t even know how a mom could do this to a child, especially someone who used to be friends with her daughter. This whole thing could have been prevented by the mom just confronting Megan or her parents and asking them to stop saying stuff about her daughter. Another way this could have been prevented was if she had her daughter and Megan sit down and have them try to work things out and ultimately try to be friends again.
