9 Children Killed Themselves As a Result of Cyber Bullying
By |
Ask.fm, on the surface, is a normal social media site. However, in the past year, 9 different teens have committed suicide because of verbal abuse they faced on their Ask.fm pages. These are their stories. They faced bullying so severe, they were driven to kill themselves before even reaching high school.
There are simply too many ways for children to be bullied in this modern age.
1.) 09/29/2012: Ciara Pugsley, 15 years old. Users on Ask.fm called her an “ugly slut” and then she was found after she committed suicide in the woods.
2.) 10/27/2012: Erin Gallagher, 13 years old. Erin warned anonymous bullies on her page that she would take her own life, but the harassment about things like her weight and how she looked didnt stop.
3.) 12/11/2012: Jessica Laney, 16 years old. She hanged herself after being bullied about her weight on Ask.fm. After her death a Change.org petition was started demanding Ask.fm be taken down, that in the first few days after her death reached over 3,000 signatures.
4.) 12/12/2012: Erins sister Shannon Gallagher, 15 years old. Shannon committed suicide. Both girls attended the same school at the center of Erins Ask.fm-driven bullying. According to local reports, Shannon missed her sister. She did not leave a note.
