Cyber Bullying

Megan Meirer committed suided at the age of 13 due to cyber bullying. Megan was a vitcim, a group of individuals had created a fake myspace of a boy whom they named "Josh Evans" a 16-year-old boy who had taken a liking to Megan. On October 16, 2006, "Josh" told Megan, that the world would be a better place without her in it. Later that day Megan hanged herself in a closet at her family's O'Fallon, Missouri home. I think that it was wrong for a group of individuals to do that to a poor innocent girl, just because she didn't fit in with the "cool" crowd. Nobody really knows what happend to the bully's but the person who was bullied killed herself. This could have been prevented if Megan had more self asteam.
