Description
Rehtaeh Parsons was a teenager with boundless curiosity and a love for family, science, and the natural world. Her life took a devastating turn when she was shamed by her peers after a photo of her was circulated on social media. For 17 months, Rehtaeh faced bullying from one school to another, scorned by parents and her community. Despite being failed by the school, police, and mental health system, she attempted suicide in April 2013. Her death led to significant changes in how Canadian schools deal with cyber exploitation and legislation on cyberbullying. This book offers an unsparing look at Rehtaeh's story, exploring the social forces that enable and perpetuate violence and misogyny among teenagers, as well as parental love in the midst of horrendous loss.
