Bullying

Can you imagine how awful it feels
To wake up afraid every day?
Can you imagine how lonely it feels
To feel too sad to play?
Can you imagine how you might feel
If this should happen to you?
What if others were standing by
While someone was bullying you?
Maybe it's time for us all to say
Bullying people is not okay.

Megan Maier Story - example of cyberbullying (video)

Probably the most frightening example of cyberbullying. Megan was 13 in October 2006 when she took her own life after being cyberbullied. She had been in contact with a “Josh Evans” on MySpace. Josh started being kind and flirty, but then turned mean and insulting. He wrote: “The world would be a better place without you.” However, “Josh” never existed. It was created by some adults who lived on Megan’s street. Her story was covered extensively by the media in the US and worldwide.
