•Georgia was a 13 year old girl that was being called fat and ugly online
•People also made up a nasty song about her and posted it on her Bebo page.
•Also people threatened to kill her online.
•Georgia had been in the popular group until she got into a fight with another girl about a guy and the girls stopped talking to her.
•Her mom could see changes in her behavior like instead of her always rushing to her computer when she got home like she used too she would go straight to her room and would ignore her phone.
•Her mom called the cops and the cops promised the bullying would stop but it didn't.

•Later her parents noticed that she went to the bathroom after every meal and they worried that people calling her fat had made her develop bulimia.
