  12. EXAMPLE OF THE EFFECTS OF BULLYING Megan Meier was a normal 13-year-old girl who was harassed and bullied by someone via Myspace. A boy by the name of Josh Evans befriended Megan, and at first the friendship was going well. Then Megan received a message from Josh saying “ I don’t think I want to be friends with you any longer because I hear you’re not nice to your friends”. From there on, Megan received countless Emails, slandering her name as well as updates on Myspace. All of which damaged her emotionally, and scarred her mentally. On the 16 of October 2006 Megan’s body was discovered in a bedroom closet. Megan had hanged herself. It was later discovered that there was no real Josh Evans, and that the mother of a friend of Megan had created the fake profile in order to find out what Megan had been saying about her daughter. The mother then began to attack and bully Megan. Megan, not understanding how her friendship could have unraveled, broke under the stress and pressure.

  13. CONCLUSION Bullying is one of the main reasons, if not THE main reason for suicide, drug abuse, failing grades, and emotional breakdowns. The school policy states that they cannot act unless physical proof is shown I.E. cuts, bruises, burns, etc. In reality verbal and mental abuse/ bullying is the main cause for the physical abuse, as most abuse is self- inflicted. In order to stop physical abuse, the school must stop it at verbal abuse.
