using social media for the wrong reason

http://www.columbiamissourian.com/stories/2011/02/09/mother-cyber-bullying-victim-speaks-rock-bridge-parents/

in october of 2006 there was a 13 year-old girl who committed suicide after being bullied on the social network. she ended her life after being bullied my a boy she befriended on myspace.  the two were talking over a message and the last thing said was the boy telling the girl that the world would be better off without her. the bully ended up being a 47 year old women who lived 4 houses down from the girl and her family. the 13 year old girl was struggling with depression and no one noticed. her parents feel guilty for not helping her. this shows that there are crazy people out there and they don't think that they might be hurting someone.
