The question of whether teenage girls are getting meaner comes after the bully-provoked suicide of 12-year-old Florida teenager Rebecca Ann Sedwick. Harassment, physical violence, and bullying via cyberspace are all tools being utilized by malicious teenagers these days, but is it worse in recent times than it was before? Is there any way to combat this behavior?
Rebecca Ann Sedwick was a 12-year-old girl who committed suicide last month after being viciously cyber-bullied by up to 15 girls for nearly a year through texts and online message boards. Arrests were made this past Tuesday, apprehending two girls who police believe are responsible for Sedwick’s death.
