The Problem

I am trying to solve the problem of cyber bullying. I am trying to prevent anymore teenage suicide due to the harassment and bullying they receive via technology.

Plan of Action

I want to make create a support group for those being cyber bullied, I want to get awareness out that it's just "not happening to you, you are not alone", my end goal is work with social networks on how they can help tackle this growing epidemic (i.e., make it more difficult to copy people's pictures, have more many power at the social networks to handle when customers are complaining of being cyber bullied to take down sites, etc)

Project Updates

Teen suicide is on the rise and cyber bullying plays a significant role in this. Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death among those ages 15-24, but perhaps more disturbing is that it is the 4th leading cause in those ages 10-14. I need to bring the awareness and effects of cyber bullying to the parents, teens and community. Technology is moving faster than society and parents can keep up with. I have formed an Unbreakable club in my county, and we feel it very important and a priority to organize a parent seminar. We would have guest speakers, provide snacks, sell shirts for marketing and fund raising reasons, and pass out free The Unbreakable Movement bracelets. In getting the world out globally I would also need to create a web page
