- #7: It wasn't until after his death that Ryan's father looked through his online chat logs. His father was shocked at what he had been reading; it is for this reason that parents need to take a more active role in the online life that our generation lives in.
- #8: Tyler actually went to an RA in search for help. However, action was not taken fast enough to prevent his decision.
- #9: An example of harassment could be consistently sending hurtful text messages.Impersonation is if someone makes a fake Facebook account pretending to be someone they're not.Using photographs, such as taking and sending nude photos of a victim.Posting blogs is an example of what happened to Megan Meirer."Happy-Slapping" is if someone records a victim being bullied and posts it to an online forum such as youtube so the masses can witness the humiliation.
