Cyber bullies sometimes, but not always, know their victims in real life.

Megan Taylor Meier (November 6, 1992 – October 17, 2006) was an American teenager from Dardenne Prairie, Missouri who committed suicide in October 2006. Her suicide was attributed to cyber-bullying through the social networking website MySpace. The account through which the bullying took place purportedly belonged to a 16-year-old male named Josh Evans. However, it was actually created by an 18-year-old employee of Lori Drew, the mother of a former friend of Meier. Several people contributed to running the faked account, including Drew. Wtnesses testified that the women intended to use Meier’s e-mails with Josh to get information about her and later humiliate her, in retribution for her allegedly spreading gossip about Drew's daughter.

Ryan Patrick Halligan (December 18, 1989 - October 7, 2003) was an Essex Junction, Vermont teenager who died by suicide at the age of 13 after excessive bullying from his classmates in real life and cyber-bullying online. His death led his father, John P. Halligan, to lobby for laws to be passed in Vermont to improve how schools address bullying and suicide prevention.
