    and dangerous. This is a story about a young girl who killed herself over things that went on with regard to her MySpace page. She was a fragile young lady who was dealing with depression and being overweight, she was duped into thinking a young man named Josh (created by a neighbor and her daughter to torture her and bully her) who was good looking was her friend.

    When they had her hooked, they had him turn against her and she was peppered with messages that were calculated to hurt her. She hung herself in her closet, she was not yet 14 years old.

    Here's a link to the whole story. It's awfull.
