Teens driven to suicide by cyber bullying..
This article was written by Gemma Jones from the Daily Telegraph, the article goes into detail about some statistics and basic information about cyber bullying as well as details about what the NSW Government is starting to do on the matter. The article states that the “NSW Government has formed an advisory panel of teenagers who have asked for drastic measures, including education classes for students and their parents and a phone helpline, to stop the growing problem”

“In the most serious circumstances, online bullying can end in long-term mental health issues and suicide” The NSW Youth Advisory Council said. As from my previous journal entries it proves that this is a fact, death does occur from cyber bullying although I am yet to discover a resource that shows about mental health but if teenagers are willing to commit suicide than they must have had a mental problem first.
From using statistics and information about what the Government is doing to help stop and preventing cyber bullying, the media presents this article in a serious light. The added effect by using statistics makes the issue feel more real and problematic. But overall Gemma Jones the writer of the article ‘Teens driven to suicide by cyber bullying’ has given a more mature and endearing story that may help broaden the knowledge of cyber bullying to readers.
