HOW IT ALL STARTED

It all started when I watched the news about Rebecca Sedwick on TV. Rebecca was an 11-year-old girl from Florida who enjoyed life so much. But in grade 6 everything changed. First, two girls in her class started cyberbullying her. they posted awful messages day and night. Then, other students and even strangers started to join in. In the end, Rebecca committed suicide. I was shocked! I actually cried that evening.
