Gadis Bunuh Diri Setelah Foto Bugilnya Tersebar di Internet !
Girl Commits Suicide After Nude Photo Circulated
Friends of a teen who took her own life after a nude photo of her was sent around her school have come forward to discuss the events that led to the girl's suicide.
"She more like kept to herself, (and) would like hide in the bathroom and cry," said Lauren Taylor, who was best friends with Jessie Logan. "She'd always call me crying."
Logan was an 18-year-old senio More..r at Sycamore High School when a nude picture she sent to her boyfriend was sent to hundreds of students at schools across the area.
Her grades plummeted, and she began skipping school or hiding out in the bathroom to avoid other students.
"They'd call her slut, a whore, a skank," Taylor said. "They'd say she that she was just trying to be a porn star."
But friends said technology allowed the harassment to follow her home or anywhere else she went.
"When she would leave school she would get on her MySpace or her Facebook, and then kids would be messaging her on that or texting her phone, people she didn't even know," Taylor said.
Her friends saw a change in the fun-loving, free-spirited teen.
"She would just look down, and you could see the embarrassment in her face and, like, the pain, and that's when I knew because they were from other schools that everyone had heard about it, and were texting it," said Danielle Korgel, another friend.
The harassment broke Logan's spirit, friends say.
"Once this picture was sent out she just, instead of standing up for herself, she just started putting her head down and letting people say what they wanted to say," Taylor said.
Friends said they knew Logan was depressed and upset by the harassment, but her suicide still shocked them.
"I was in shock," Taylor said. "I couldn't believe that she would take her life. I couldn't understand. I didn't want to believe it, I couldn't believe it."
Logan's friends and family hope her story will serve as a reminder for teens and anyone else who would consider sending nude photos across the Internet or by cell phone
