Cyberbullying

To Let You Know
Dear Diary,
Sincerely, Damian
Sometimes...
Sometimes, I can't tell if I'm in a fantasy or reality
And sometimes, my victims expect an apology.
I would go on the Internet and snub little kids
While they expect me to face my consequences.
Sometimes, I would party with my friends while drinking liquor
And when I got back on the internet, I found out that a kid pulled the trigger
I now regret the actions that I committed
And now I sometimes... no and now I always think about how life is limited.
15-Year-Old Commits Suicide After Being Cyber Bullied (Report)
Her mother, Crystal Forest, said her daughter's suicide was caused after months of bullying in person and on social media. Even after Crystal reported to the principal about the bullying, it still continued on. "I told them that Ashley was being threatened in person and online saying that they'll jump her and he responds by saying that he'll take care of it and yet, they still jump her," she said through tears.
The Tarrant County Chief of Police said that the threats didn't stop. "Here's some of the quotes that we found: 'Why are you still even alive? Do us all a favor and go kill yourself!'" he told reporters this week. Crystal tried everything that she could think of: she moved her to a new school and even deleted her Facebook account but what she didn't know was that her daughter started using new forms of social media.
It was too late when Ashley sent a text to one of her friends that read "I'm dead. I'm jumping. I can't take it anymore." On Saturday, she climbed The Fort Worth Club Tower and then leaped to her death. Detectives later found on Ashley's search engine some clues that could have been another result of her death and one of the clues read "How many sleeping pills do you need to take to die?" The Chief of Police is considering filing charges against the juveniles who sent the messages.
