Today, I did some research on one of the cases that I looked up the other day. The one that caught my eye the most was the Kenneth Weishuhn suicide. He was bullied because of his sexuality, and it got to the point where a Facebook hate group was made dedicated to him. That was what made this case so interesting to me. The fact that people could be so hateful that they would publicly bully someone, not caring about the outcome of their actions. I spent some time reading articles today. Here are the links.

Reflection: I think I deserve a 100 for this post. I think that looking up more information on actual teen suicides will help me make the story much more realistic than it was before. I didn't do this the first time around, and I guess that was my downfall. I think I may use the inspiration of the Facebook group.
