I posted quite a few articles on the subject of Cyber Bullying.
Facebook bullying seems to be going beyond the limits.
With a view to going Viral, some people post obnoxious messages to get noticed and the people do follow these and to what results?
Is the Death of a child worth, for the pleasure one gets in getting noticed Online?

One can not blame Facebook really for there are instances where Facebook has saved lives.-read my posts.
Story:
Amanda Todd, a Vancouver-area teenager who posted a story to YouTube last month about being cyber-bullied, was found dead Wednesday night in Coquitlam, Canada. Authorities believe she committed suicide.
Amanda’s video tells a heart-wrenching story of the bullying she was subjected to — both online and off. “In 7th grade,” she begins, sharing her message on cue cards, “I would go with friends on webcam [to] meet and talk to new people.” At one point, a stranger flattered her into flashing the camera.
One year later, a man contacted her on Facebook, threatening to send around the picture of her topless “if [she] don’t put on a show.” Terrifyingly, the stranger knew everything about her: her address, school, friends, relatives, and the names of her family members. Soon, her naked photo had been forwarded “to everyone.”
Amanda developed anxiety, depression, and anxiety disorders, she says in the video, followed by a path into drugs and alcohol.
She changed schools and found a new group of friends in an effort to leave behind the bullies. Then the man created a Facebook profile, using her uncensored photo as his profile picture. “Cried every night, lost all my friends and respect people had for me… again… then nobody liked me,” she wrote in the video.”
