Alexis - Age 17

Alexis Pilkington was a Senior  at West Islip High School who was bullied incessantly online.  Cyberbullying is what that is called.  Her mean-spirited classmates posted unflattering and simply mean content on both on “Facebook”  and the less known, but perhaps more dangerous “Formspring.”  Following her death, these commentaries continued, mocking Alexis on both forums.
