Hi All,
This isn't a question as such, but more of a favour. In September, a British girl called Izzy sadly killed herself because of relentess bullying online, in school and out of school. She wrote a poem about it. It's beautifully written, but pretty damning. You can read it here, along with an interview her mum gave:

Her mum and other friends have set up a petition online to try and make sure this doesn't happen again. You can find the link on the memorial facebook page here to try and get this debated in Parliament so that online bullying is taken more seriously, and schools are forced to take it more seriously. I've signed it, because I don't want to see something like this happen again to someone else who had everything to live for.

It doesn't matter whether you are British or not, all that matters is you sign, as this has also happened in the US and Canada, and perhaps if one country takes this more seriously, others will too. If you have facebook, please also share the page and get others to sign.
Thanks, Caring Guy.
