The Ugly Side of the Internet

Click Here to be redirected to the article about cyber bullying.

In the NBCNEWS.com article about cyber bullying, 15-year-old Audrie Pott took her life due to the harassment of three teenage boys. The three boys sexually assaulted Audrie, then posted pictures online of the assault, leading her to take her life. The material that was posted online was then sent around by the rest of her classmates, causing embarrassment and shame on Audrie's reputation. Since Audrie's death, the three boys have been arrested. This article shows just how fragile life can be. Because of these boys actions of not only committing the sexual assault, but also posting the pictures online, they will serve big consequences. Audrie should have never had to experience having to go through the pain she had to go through, and thought the best way to get away from all of it would be to put it to an end. Cyber bullying is happening way too often nowadays, and this is a great example of the ugly side of the Internet.
