Cyberbully is about a girl named Taylor , a teenage girl who falls victim to online bullying, and the cost it takes on her as well as her friends and family. Taylor is a seventeen-year-old student dealing with her parents' recent divorce and painfully aware of her lower social status in high school. When her mom gives her a computer for her birthday, Taylor is excited by the prospect of going online to meet new friends without her mom being all up in her private life. Taylor soon signs up on a website called Clickster.However, Taylor soon finds herself the victim of betrayal and bullying while getting on clickster. Obsessed with the damaging posts, she begins to withdraw from her family and friends, including her life-long best friend, Samantha Caldone.Tormented and afraid to face her peers at school, Taylor is pushed to an extreme breaking point, almost commiting suicide. It is only after this life-changing event that Taylor learns that she is not alone – meeting other teens, including a classmate, who have had similar experiences. Taylor's mom, Kris, reels from the incident and takes on the school system and state legislation to help prevent others from going through the same harrowing ordeal as her daughter went throught. I dident have te chance to watch the rest of the film but right now its a good flim I want to see the rest.
