Such an awful story. Definitely illustrates the importance of an early approach to adolescent violence intervention and prevention, particularly cyber-related violence/bullying.
Hi Elaine, just checking if I can reply to posts made on the website , or if it comes up as another comment
this comment is a general comment for the thread (not a reply to a previous post)
What are your thoughts about Anonymous or others outing the identity of those who bullied Amanda when she was alive or who posted hateful or intimidating comments after her passing?
