Jamey Rodemeyer, from Buffalo, New York, killed himself in September 2011 after he was bullied both at school and online about being gay.
The 14-year-old Lady Gaga fan sent her a final sent message on Twitter before he died, saying ‘Bye mother monster, thank you for all you have done, paws up forever.’
Eight-year-old Tori Blair Wilson hanged herself from a tree in May just 80 yards from her home in Palestine, Texas. Investigators believe she was bullied at school but failed to find specific culprits.
In March, Chevonea Kendall-Bryan, 13, fell 60ft to her death in London after boys from her block told her to jump.
Perhaps the most high-profile cyber-bullying related death was that of Tyler Clementi last year. The 18-year-old Rutgers student from New Jersey plunged to his death from New York’s George Washington Bridge after his gay sex session was allegedly filmed by his roommate.

Parents should really look after their children…
Chevonea was not rounded by girls from her school. Some boys from her block told her to jump. She is dearly missed by her friends at St C.
Please get your facts right next time!
