The unimaginable consequences of cyber-bullying

It saddened Australia and the story needs more coverage to hopefully prevent this occurring to more families across the nation. The suicide of fourteen year old Amy 'Dolly' Everett due to online bullying is a disgrace; how could a young life be cut so short? How could a person feel they have no other option but to take their own life to stop the cyber-bullying?

The way the family have conducted themselves during this ordeal has won the respect of the county to raise awareness of teenage suicide. I am personally full of respect for the family and I can not feel or comprehend the loss they suffered.

Her father, Tick Everett invited the cyber bullies to the funeral to witness the complete devastation they had caused their family. This challenge is not made out of anger or hate, but so they could comprehend the consequences of their actions to prevent future occurrences - he wants this cycle of cyber abuse to stop.

He, along with wife Kate and sister Meg has been very vocal openly discussing his daughter's suicide because he doesn't want another family to go through the same devastating loss they are going through.

The Everett family has launched an online campaign to raise awareness of cyber-bullying and harassment. I feel I should also do my part, however small, to help raise awareness of the effects of cyber-bullying.

The Everett family and friends has established a foundation via a GoFundMe fundraiser page to provide financial support to charities through promotion and discussion to recognise cyber-bullying to prevent the devastation of this loss afflicting other families; the page is https://www.gofundme.com/dollys-dream-foundation
