A message shared following her death expressed the pain and frustration felt by many who believe more must be done to prevent bullying from causing lasting harm.
The message called for parents to take bullying seriously and to speak with their children about the consequences of cruel behavior toward others.
Bullying can take many forms, including physical intimidation, verbal abuse, social exclusion, harassment, and online abuse.
Cyberbullying and Social Media Concerns
Social media has become an important part of the lives of many young people, but it can also provide a platform for cyberbullying.

For young people, the emotional impact can be overwhelming.
Parents, schools, caregivers, and communities are being encouraged to pay close attention to changes in a child’s behavior, mood, friendships, and online activity.
Early conversations and support can be important when a child is struggling.
