Bullycide

basically what i understand about little ryan is that he committed suicide because he was repeatedly targeted. he felt like he was never good enough so he hung himself. ryans dad admitted to making a mistake by putting the computer in his room. many kids are falling victim to Cyber Bullying they slowly eat at the target and it puts them into bad moods. there are many more cases of cyber bullying and sadly a small percentage of them end in suicide. many parents are distrought over these cases and are fighting for there kids and others to have a good school experience.
a way that this could have been prevented is by his dad managing and or checking his computer more often or talking and comforting his son a little bit more.
