Bullying Crisis
Two tragic high-profile teen suicides brought bullying and cyber bullying to forefront this year. In January, 15-year-old Phoebe Prince committed suicide after enduring months of torment at her Massachusetts high school and online. Months later, Rutgers University freshman Tyler Clementi jumped to his death from a bridge after a roommate secretly taped and streamed video of Clementi having sex with a man in his dorm room.
Their untimely deaths shed light on the disturbing trend of bullying and teen suicide, and have resulted in increased awareness among parents and stricter anti-bullying laws in many states.
