I have been reading all of your stories. It means so much to have you share your kind thoughts and stories.

Why did you take the Pledge?

In 1998 a 12 year old was killed by an 11 year old in Japan. The murder victim has been text-bullying the younger girl. Within a few years, many more teens had taken their own lives or hurt others because of cyberbullying. In the last two months, two young people in NJ committed suicide after being tormented online. Bullying hurts. In addition to the physical pain, after the bruises have healed, the hurt remains. Battered self-esteem, rerunning the hateful and hurtful taunts, worrying if you will run into a group determined to make your life miserable. We all know it.

I have read your stories over and over, with tears in my eyes. You have inspired me. You give me faith. You have touched me in ways you can’t imagine. I donate my time protecting people online. But I couldn’t protect Megan. Instead, I hope to join with all of you to build a support system to help all others being hurt. To give them hope. To give them choices, when suicide looks inviting. To give them a safe place to land. Thank you for all you have shared and are doing…you will never know how much it means to Megan’s family and to us at WiredSafety (home of stopcyberbullying). Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Everyone has memories of bullying. (Some were of bullying today at school, some from years ago) Some were victimized. And some remember being the bully. And so many confessed here at myYearbook that they were the bully, but after having heard Megan’s story, are changing their lives. That is wonderful!

What is it about Megan that touches us so deeply? Is it her vulnerability? Her beautiful face and heavier body? The promise of her future flushed down the toilet because of a mother posing as a cute boy, just to gain her trust?

I think it is a couple things. We expect moms to look out for all kids, not only their own. This one betrayed that trust. Lori Drew knew that Megan was fragile emotionally. She knew that she had been diagnosed with depression and on medication from the time she was young. But she targeted her anyway, basically for laughs. That’s what gets to me the most. The unfairness of an adult preying on a young and fragile teen, breaking her heart, betraying her trust, manipulating her for her own purposes. Moms aren’t supposed to do that.

I also think it has to do with Megan’s picture. Grinning with a smile full of braces, with her life before her…a young girl who would become a beautiful woman, we can relate to her.

A group of preteen volunteers in our program (we call them the tweenangels J) took up Megan’s cause, designing t-shirts saying “Ask Me About Megan” and putting her pic on the shirt. When people asked, they shared her story. They talked about how she loved black & white polka dots, and how she brought a candybar to friends who needed cheering up. They talked about how she was cheated of her future.

Megan was real to them. People were amazed to find out that they had never met her. They lived in NJ, while Megan lived in Missouri. But Megan was real to them. Just as real as she is to all of us.

Why have so many people taken the pledge? For Megan. For their friends. For themselves. For the loss of innocence. For everyone who has faced cruelty at the hands of bigger, more popular and tougher kids.

Why did you take it? I’d like to know.

Thanks again.

Parry Aftab

Hollywood King June 30, 2008 09:01 AM	I was bullied all through my childhood. It makes me sick to see that this nonsense is still going on. I used the abuse I took from others as fuel for my MMA career. I am retired from MMA now. I suffer from alot of health problems. But if it came down to doing something about this bullying crap, I would come out of retirement.

Anonymous June 25, 2008 12:22 AM	I was bullied in high school and yes it does hurt alot.. The people that does this to others don't realize what thay are doing to others.. everyone that does this to others think about this...What if it's your child? think about it real hard...Would you like it if it was ur child? thats the question...I have no children of my own I only have my neices and nephews and i would not want anyone hurting them in any way these kids are my life....and before you all start to bully soneone think about what ur doing to them...Everyone thats here is special in there own way...All these people that has took there lifes are in my heart and i will always have all the ones that are being bullied in my prayers...So God Bless each and everyone
