Teen's Suicide Over Sexting

An 18-year old girl, Jessie Logan, sent nude pictures of herself to her boyfriend. After they broke up, he sent the pictures of her to other girls that attended their high school. Those girls began harrasing her by calling her names like "slut" and "whore." This made Jessie very depressed and caused her to skip school a lot. She eventually committed suicide as her way of solving the problem. Her mother never even knew the extent of the problem until it was too late. This story shows us how important it is to make sure that parents are involved and aware of their children's social life, including the phone and internet portion.
