Megan Meier, born on November 6, 1992, experienced cyberbullying that ultimately resulted in her heartbreaking suicide, bringing national attention to the issue. She enjoyed swimming, boating, fishing, dogs, rap music, and boys. Her story inspired the 2011 TV movie “Cyberbully” featuring Emily Osment and became known as the MySpace Suicide Hoax. The subsequent trial found Lori Drew, the mother involved in the cyberbullying, guilty of misdemeanor charges. Megan’s case underscored the pressing need to address cyberbullying in society.
