Bullying in 2022 comes in many forms, and the internet continues to be the most popular way to deliver this toxic and cruel behavior. Bullying is a severe threat to a child’s self-esteem and mental health. Being targeted by a cyberbully can increase the risk of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, feelings of worthlessness, and, most tragically, suicide. But not all bullying is long-term. In fact, the heavy psychological toll this kind of harassment takes can often be swift. Meet Cheryl and Hunter, whose 16-year-old daughter, McKenna, took her own life after being bullied by four girls she thought were her friends. They say that after less than five days of being bullied, McKenna could no longer cope and made the tragic decision to take her own life. The parents say their daughter went to shower on a Saturday evening, and they never saw her alive again. (21312)

Thank god I homeschool. None of this is the school's business to "teach" my kids. That is for US to teach our kids!
I hope this family get justice for this poor girl xxxxshe had so much good in her life this is truly heartbreaking xx
McKenna deserved the world and more, she was such a bright soul and such a nice person, may she rest in peace
Dr Phil, please have the bully on your show. I would like to see if a bully have the guts to appear on your show and tell the world why they bully and what they get out of bullying. How they feel after hearing the person they bullied died. Do they have remorse or do they feel proud of them selves.
These girls need to be held accountable for their actions. If these girls don’t get arrested our legal system is a joke.
I can’t even imagine what these parents are going through. Social media is making bullying 1 million times worse. I’m dreading the day my daughter is old enough for using it.
“Child” or not. They need to be held accountable. Totally preventable. So sorry to the family 😢
This bullying on internet needs to stop and blocked and the site people that run these sites should be shut down for good.
The bullys need prison all bullys need prison for many years named and shamed mum and dads pay for their prison
This is absolutely horrible 😢😭 I cant even imagine the parents pain… my heart goes out to their entire family and hope the responsible parties are held accountable.
but last the end she died!!
I attempted suicide multiple times due to cyber bullying and my parents would go to the police showing the messages and comments and all the profiles of the people. posts and they said they would look into it and nothing happened. But what would happened was my profile would get reported for every reason people could have as an option and my profile would get taken down by the website. Which happened with one of the worst situations which might have gotten the police to actually do something but because I had nothing to show because my profiles were gone I had no proof.
the school definitely made her and other victims feel uncomfortable in coming forward with their experience against these offenses. I bet this happened because the people you're supposed to turn to were pro-crime.
McKenna was such a sweet soul it was a pleasure being able to be on the ice with her she made boring practices fun 💙🤍
I hate this happened to this young lady but let me get this straight. They did NOT like her because she started dating one of their friends. They said something about her, they told everyone what she did… . Then those friends ALL got together and did NOT invite her……….
Parents of bullies need to be held accountable just as much as schools and sports teams – more so, in fact!! Most cyber bullying does not take place during school hours or team-time but rather, on parental watch. If you don't know where your teen's cyber playgrounds are; who they are hanging out with; what they are doing and when; or how they are behaving and why; then you are grossly negligent in your parental obligations. Shoving blame on schools and sport clubs is a cop-out and an abdication of responsibility.
This as got to stop I feel for them. The rage I would feel, I can’t imagine what they are all going through
😢rip i been through it to isn’t fun
I was badly bullied from 3rd to 7th grade until I learned how to disappear. Reading "Lord of the Flies " in school was probably a well intended choice by my English teacher, but I felt it was too close true the truth if put in similar circumstances. I probably would have killed myself if internet social media sites had been around back then. Bullying effected me for many years after the fact. Why are so many children so horrible? Bullying is not a new thing. My brother and sister were also tormented in the early to mid 70's. The bullies used rocks, threats, bikelocks on chains and after school ambushes. I learned to hide in the library after school or go to the bathroom by the gym. Bullies never went there.
May She Rest In Paradise 💖🙏
What a precious life lost.
Oh Lord, this is so sad. My condolences and prayers go to McKenna’s family, and may McKenna Rest In Peace! 😭❤️
I was bullied before the internet. Some people say that if these people knew what had happened because of their bullying they would feel terrible.
BS! If they cared about people they would not have done it in the first place.
😪😪😪😪😪
Mike Tyson was said " social Media has made people comfortable for disrespecting others, without getting punch in the face for doing it."
This is horrific and need to be addressed. These nasty girls need to take responsibility for this.
The bestr way ro defeat a bully is to not care what they say about you. If they put their hands on you, stand up for yourself regardless if you will win or not. ALWAYS FIGHT TO SURVIVE.
So sad she was so beautiful God bless this young lady parents 🙏❤️
There should be serious jail time for people who love to mentally torture others. This is just wrong.
The girls need dire consequences for this.
