The story of Jamey
Jamey Rodemeyer of williamsville killed himself after people were bullying him about his sexual orientation and calling him gay and homosexual.So the police figure out that anti-bullying programs aren't working , so they passed a law that defines Cyberbullying as harassment
Rebecca Sedwich Suicide
Rebecca Sedwich 12 year old girl jumped to death after 2 teenager girls bullied and humiliated her on social media websites.Calling her ugly and she should drink bleach and die.And again the anti-bullying program couldn't stop it
My Story
I was always bullied and picked on when i was in elementary school.I don't know why maybe because i was short and small.Anti-bullying programs never helped,so i knew i had to workout and join a sport,so no one would pick on me anymore.Now i joined wrestling and I only lost once this season.
