Teenage hangs herself due to abuse on ASK.FM

[Chippiewill]

Sensationalist ******** from Daily Mail is so far removed from the truth there is zero point in looking into it.

except that the numbers of all three of those have increased massively since ex education was brought in which suggests a correlation between the two.

It doesn't suggest a correlation, it IS a correlation. What it does not suggest, imply or prove is causation - merely a causal link.

I understand she was 14, vulnerable and whatever, but she could of just delete her Ask.fm?
I find that with most cyberbullying. If they are 14 and able to think about suicide due to bullying, then they are grown up to realise the 'deactivate account' or not just go onto the computer??

If they were young and little, I understand. But with society, 14 year olds act as if they are 18. I mean, when I was 14, I got served for cigarettes and alcohol.

HOW HARD IS IT TO WALK AWAY FROM THE SCREEN?

What I've heard is that it wasn't the actual ask.fm official site that released the information that 98% was her, it was some other source so not too sure whether it's been proven or not yet. If this is true, it was obvious she was calling out for some sort of help and for someone to notice, it seems likely that she had some mental issues.

Not necessarily her, but her IP which could mean anybody in her house could have done it.

We all knew the media would blow it all out of proportion and try and blame these social sites. They do not yet have any control over the internet.. something that I'm sure is bound to change.

Sad that most people like this are unaware of how dangerous some of the things that they say can be towards others. Even on habbo I think people should be more cautious on the words they choose, because you don't know what that other person is going through despite how old they are. I don't think it's easy as just pressing the X button and logging out. Until you've walked a mile in that other person's shoes you'll know what they're going through.
I feel bad for her family. The saddest thing is that this kind of thing happens every day, especially to those that go unrecognized and unpunished. I think there should be more people overlooking these websites to make sure these things aren't happening, at the same time I think it's up to the parents' job to make sure that the websites their kids go on are safe.

The advice is pretty much equivalent to 'ignore the bullies' Does it work though?

Enough of your stupid posts on these topics please
