This is a tragic story involving a teenager and cruel adult. In October of 2006 thirteen year-old teenager Megan Meier committed suicide after receiving cruel messages from a 16-year-old boy on MySpace.com. That boy, "Josh Evans," never really existed. He was allegedly fabricated by the mom of another girl who lived near Megan in suburban St. Louis. That woman, Lori Drew, was indicted Wednesday on federal charges.
Megan became severely depressed. Teen depression is very serious. Ultimately Megan hanged herself at home in October 2006 after receiving cruel messages, including one stating the world would be better off without her. What an incredibly mean, vindictive and calculating message for any thirteen year-old to read. Megan must have suffered terribly in silence before finally ending her life.
