“A suicide story A 15-year-old girl from Ireland also committed suicide because of devastating ask.fm bullying. She was found in the woods near where she lived in September of 2012. Before she did so, she even told some of her friends about suicide since she was being bullied. She was told over and over that she was fat and that she had no respect for herself.”

The effects this had on the young girls life was her parents are probably broken hearted their little girl is not alive anymore. The comments probably influenced the girl to have low self esteem. The best thing she could have done was tell an adult, delete her account, make a new account, block the disrespectful users, or even make her page private. The suicidal incident could have been avoided if she took those options. The people that post hurtful comments have immediacy but the targeted girl has permanency because now people have the ability to label her as joke.
