..I agree Annie, bullying has obviously always happened both inside and outside of the school environment, but there hasn't always been 'the power of the internet' which makes it much easier to make people's lives miserable..I know that's not what has happened in this case but because bullying is having a much more increasing and tragic effect, I think that's all the more reason why schools, police etc have to take it more seriously and for schools not to just have policies in place that say all the right things but to act on them as well...imo, there are a lot more pressures on young people than there used to be, both socially and educationally...
