1 Suicide of Megan Meier
Megan Taylor Meier (November 6, 1992 – October 17, 2006) was an American teenager from Dardenne Prairie, Missouri, who committed suicide by hanging three weeks before her 14th birthday. A year later, Meier's parents prompted an investigation into the matter and her suicide was attributed to cyber-bullying through the social networking website MySpace.2Elite school's horrific cyber-bullying case
Two adolescent girls have been forced to leave one of Sydney's elite private schools because of cyber-bullying.
The girls were taken out of Ascham School after they published material on the social networking website, My Space, containing personal and possibly defamatory information about their classmates.3 A plea from a sick girl

4 ) 9 teens arrested in Phoebe Prince cyberbullying case
It appears many of the egregious acts of those bullying Phoebe Prince were done at school. While it is not yet clear to what degree these students harassed Phoebe through text messaging or on social networking sites, it seems they were not humbled by their potential role in what ultimately happened to her. According to the Boston Globe, they “went on Facebook and mocked her in death.”
