• He had a rough time of
  high school

• Cyber bullying began
  later on, and continued
  through his final year
David Knight
• A website was posted
  making fun of David

• “Rather than just some
  people, say 30 in a
  cafeteria, hearing them
  all yell insults at you, it's
  up there for 6 billion
  people to see. Anyone
  with a computer can
  see it" – David Knight
David Knight
• David ended up finishing his final year at
  home
   – “you can't get away from it. It doesn't go away when you
     come home from school. It made me feel even more
     trapped.” – D.K.

  website still remained up

  lifted”
Megan Meier
• But the messages changed a tone in Oct. 2006
  “I don't know if I want to be friends with you
  anymore because I've heard that you are not very
  nice to your friends”

• These messages escalated in harshness, and
  ended with “Everybody in O'Fallon knows how
  you are. You are a bad person and everybody
  hates you. Have a shitty rest of your life. The
  world would be a better place without you.”
Megan Meier
• Megan responded with “You’re the kind of boy a
  girl would kill herself over.”

  criminal charges

  controversy was reported to the media
