People who got bullied online. To death

15.3.2015

You can find friends or enemies on the Internet. You can also find people here who, in general, don't care about you, but will join your enemies with interest. Think of the 200th like under the phrase “you're fat” or the fifteenth ingenious tip to “kill yourself up the wall.” Nothing's going to happen...

Ryan Gulligan (1989-2003)

Classmates loved to mock 13-year-old Ryan from Vermont (USA). They found it especially funny to write online that he was gay. The boy must have been overjoyed when a handsome and popular classmate named Ashley suddenly started a romantic conversation with him in the AIM messenger. He easily shared his feelings with her, and she sent the funniest quotes to her friends—that was the purpose of the fake novel. The correspondence continued throughout the summer. In the fall, Galligan came to school and the girl told him he was a loser. Early in October 2003, early in the morning, while his parents were sleeping, the guy hung himself in the bathroom. His older sister found his body.

Ryan last texted online with a former elementary school classmate. When the message “I want to kill myself”, an acquaintance replied: “Pf-f, it's time for a long time.”

Meghan Meyer (1992—2006)

Meyer, 14, (USA) was sure that she was ugly, fat and useless to anyone. Five weeks before her death, she was added as a friend on MySpace by a guy named Josh Evans. They texted nicely, but Meghan soon got tired of Josh; he friended her and started writing nasty things to her. Their virtual friends joined this entertainment. The last message from Josh that Meghan read was, “The world would be a better place without you.” She turned off her computer and 20 minutes later hung herself in the dressing room, where her mother found her.

After a while, Meghan's parents found out that Josh never existed. His page, for fun, was created by three women: the Meyer family's adult neighbor, her daughter and a young subordinate.

Jessica Logan (1990-2008)

At 18, American Jessica did a stupid thing — she sent her boyfriend a nude photo of herself. Her boyfriend did another thing in response — a very disgusting one. After the breakup, he sent a photo of the girl to her classmates. High school students from several nearby schools flooded Jessica with offensive messages on Facebook and MySpace and texted her. It got to the point where she was afraid to go to school. Jesse tried to speak out against bullying. She complained to the administration, but was told that they could not help her in any way and was advised to contact the media. Then she starred in a local television program, where she talked about the bullying. No one felt remorse.

Two months later, after attending a friend's funeral, the girl hung herself in her bedroom.

Hope Whitsell (1996—2009)

Hope was only 13 when a boy she liked asked her to send him a picture of her breasts. Soon, of course, hundreds of curious students saw the photo, and the “People Who Hate Hope” page appeared on MySpace. In the school corridors, friends protected Hope from ridicule, but she had nowhere to go online. The girl was afraid to tell her parents about the reason for the bullying.

She hung herself in her room, writing in her paper diary: “I'm done. I can feel it inside me. I'm going to try to hang myself. I hope this works.”

Amanda Todd (1996—2012)

A stranger talked Amanda into showing off her breasts in a video chat. He took screenshots from the video and started sharing them online. Moreover, no matter how much the girl tried to hide from her pursuer, he always found her social media accounts, pretended to be a new person, tried to make friends and disgrace her again among friends and strangers. Amanda struggled for a long time. In October 2012, she even recorded a video message about her story that was viewed 17 million times. But the audience's support did not help. Less than a month after the video was published, the girl hanged herself.

The culprit behind Amanda's death was found in Holland. It turned out that the 35-year-old had an unusual hobby: he tried to persuade strangers (and strangers) from the US, UK and Holland to undress in video chats, and then bullied them on the Internet.

Ciara Pugsley (1997—2012)

Ciara, 15, from Ireland was a good student, played sports, and took emergency courses to save people. She was harassed on ask.fm. The reasons why this happened remain unknown. She hanged herself in the woods near her home after about a month of anonymous bullying.

One of Ciara's last comments was when she answered the question “How are you doing?” “You'll find out soon,” the girl wrote.

Erin Gallagher (1999—2012)

Irishwoman Erin was also harassed on ask.fm. The 13-year-old wrote openly about herself. She warned people she would kill herself if she wasn't left alone, but the ridicule continued.

Her last post before she died: “You probably think it's funny when I fuckin' throw a rope around my neck because of you because you said so.” Erin's older sister, Shannon, hung herself 2 months later out of longing for her sister.

Jessica Laney (1996—2012)

Young Jessica (Florida) was an easy victim. She openly wrote on the Internet that she had no friends, her brother didn't talk to her, her father didn't notice, and her mother scolded her. Instead of support, she received messages that she was a fat hooker and should kill herself.

When someone asked Jessica on the Internet what to do if you want to kill yourself, she replied: “I promise the pain will go away, school will end and you will be able to get away from the judgmental m*****v. Don't do this! It will all work out.”

Joshua Answorth (1998—2013)

Joshua Answorth, an Englishman, hanged himself in his parents' garden. Prior to that, he had been bullied for a month, mocking his background (the son of a farmer) and his failures in relationships with girls.

Joshua tried to fight. The last time he commented on “No one loves you,” he replied: “Let me tell you that I've learned that words are just words, so it doesn't matter what you think of me, if you're a pathetic person, you can say it to my face or here and know that I don't care.”

Daniel Parry (1996—2013)

Daniel Parry, a 17-year-old Scotsman, has been repeatedly asked to “kill himself” by anonymous users. And the last straw was a Skype prank: Perry was persuaded to go into a video chat to chat with a “girl” who allegedly wants to see him naked. Then they started demanding money from him not to show screenshots of this conversation to anyone.

This is the last thing he wrote to his interlocutors before jumping off the bridge.
- Are you cutting your hands?
— Sometimes. Why would you want to know? Are you judging me?

Hannah Smith (1999—2013)

The parents of 14-year-old Hannah Smith didn't suspect anything. She was usually a cheerful and energetic girl, and adults attributed her bad mood in recent days to laziness and reluctance to go to school. The girl was worried about eczema. She asked online for treatment advice, but instead became the victim of anonymous bullying and, as a result, hanged herself.

When parents looked into their daughter's account, they found lots of comments like:
— Everyone will be happy when you die
— Drink bleach
— Go die

Rebecca Anne Sedwick (2001-2013)

12-year-old Rebecca has been bullied by 15-year-old students for a year. The mother had to transfer her daughter to another school, close her Facebook page, take away her cell phone, which she then had to return for communication. The girl started accounts on ask.fm, and on the Kik and Voxer apps, which her mother did not know. Just before Rebecca's death, things seemed to be getting better. Rebecca was in a good mood, she was studying well and was about to join a singing club. On the day she died, she changed her messenger name to That Dead Girl, sent farewell messages to her two best friends, and left her phone at home. After that, Rebecca went to an abandoned cement plant and threw herself off the wall. The girl was afraid that her mother would take her phone away again if her daughter complained of bullying.

The reason for the persecution was never established; it only turned out that shortly before her death, TireBecca was chatting with someone, trying to sound funny:
— Nobody needs you
— Lol. I know for myself
— Seriously, you deserve to die
— YOU'RE LYING:))) Well, I don't care!

Feube Prince (1995-2010)

A 15-year-old Irish immigrant went to an American high school. At home, she herself took part in the bullying of her classmate, but realized that it was wrong, apologized publicly and stopped such activities. But her ex-girlfriends did not forgive her. Added to this story was the envy of American classmates that Feobe was dating a high school football player. The girl was attacked on Twitter, Facebook, Craiglist and Formspring, insulted and threatened with death.

After Feobe hanged, the girls separated so much that they flooded even a Facebook page created to honor the girl's memory with nasty messages.

Ahn Ki (1995-2013)

One day, Ahn Ki, a Chinese woman, unaware, went into a small clothing store. A few days later, it turned out that the store owners wrote about her on their blog, calling her a thief. They posted a camera image of her and asked volunteers to gather information about the girl. There were quite a few volunteers. Very soon, everything was known about Ahn, down to her address. When rumors of theft spread at school, the girl took two days off school, went to the river and jumped off the bridge.

Before her death, Ahn Ki left a blog post on the store owners: “This is the first time I'm not afraid of the river.”

Nadya (2000 — 2014)

At the age of 14, Italian Nadia started an account under the nickname Amnesia to complain to the world about separation from her beloved. Instead of sympathy, she started receiving “witty” advice like “kill yourself,” “nobody likes you,” “you're crazy.” The girl jumped from the 10th floor of an abandoned hotel and crashed.

In her suicide letter to her family, she wrote: “I'm sorry to disappoint you all”

And this is happening: just watch one film, “School”, which caused a great resonance.
