The Impact Of Social Media
The Combs family felt that the school had failed them, but they were just beginning to raise their voices. Jessica made the decision to tell Hannah’s story on Facebook because she knew that this would garner the most attention possible. The “Justice for Hannah” Facebook page was established with a single goal in mind: to bring more attention to the problem of cyberbullying.
Although Hannah was the inspiration for the page’s creation in the beginning, the message was intended for all other children who have ever been in Hannah’s position. Not necessarily those who received a burnt scalp from superglue, but rather all of the other children who had been bullied at school and had been silenced as a result of their experiences. You won’t believe the amount of noise that was generated by the Facebook page.
