Granted the people were very cruel however the internet is full of keyboard warriors that do this to everyone everyday.
That girl did some stupid things so she should have expected a fall out could occur. When the blackmailer first showed up this is when things should have been wrapped up. But instead they just esculated further and further till she ended up sleeping with someones boyfriend.
Also, it is concerning that this blackmailer wasn't stopped by police considering they resurfaced a year later to terrorise her again. Did they not know about them still after her death?
Also wtf were the parents doing? The alarm bells were all there, the self cutting and ending up in hospital from drinking bleach. Whenever a problem arised their best solution was to keep moving to another city? Running away is not a solution as things will always catchup to you.
Totally agree that this world has become very cruel, when even her own friends deserted her. Then again I am not surprised as my parents always taught me to only rely on yourself as most friends will be there when you have something to offer but when you need them the most they will not be there for you. I use to think that that statement was jsut BS, but the more I see stories like this the more I believe they are right.
Personally I think I am lucky as I grew up in a time where cyber bullying was none existent as when we had issues we sorted it out in the yard and that was the end of it.
Finally, in all honesty I don't think there is a way to stop this kind of bullying happening in the future, unless it become criminal offense, or if everybody fucks everybody till we all the same colour shape and size. We can all learn from this by ensuring that we form close bonds to our children so when a situation like this arises you can help them through it rather than sweep the matter under the rug and hope it doesn't come back.
