Ugly Side of the Internet



Unfortunately, the Internet is capable of causing tragic events such as suicide. In this article, a 15-year-old girl named Kenyatta Parker took her life after being a victim to cyber bullying. A video of Kenyatta was sent around her school of a funny video of her dancing meant for her friend’s eyes-only. Harsh comments were left on Kenyatta’s Facebook page regarding her skin color, along with nasty text messages. Kenyatta is one of the many lives that have been taken because of cyber bullying. This shows how something originally created only to be helpful, has been used abusively in order to hurt others.
