Wednesday morning a 12-year-old girl’s body was found after she leapt to her death at an abandoned cement silo, unable to take anonymous harassment anymore.
Sept. 29, 2012 - Ciara Pugsley, 15-years-old
According to The Letrim Observer, Ciara Pugsley committed suicide in the woods near her home in Ireland last September after incessant bullying on her ask.fm page. Users would call her things like "slut" and "ugly" in the months leading up to her taking her own life. Her last post was a reply to a question:
"Whats been up with u"
"U'll see soon!"
Oct. 27, 2012 - Erin Gallagher, 13-years-old
A month after Ciara, Erin Gallagher, another Irish teenager, took her own life after being bullied on her ask.fm page. Erin warned anonymous bullies on her page that she would take her own life, but the harassment about things like her weight and how she looked didn't stop. Her last post was in response to one of her bullies:
"U prob think it was funny when [I] fuckin put a rope round my neck cause of yous, yous are that sad!'."
