Ryan Halligan’s Yearbook

Origin
Ryan Patrick Halligan (1989 – 2003) was an American student who committed suicide at the age of 13 after being bullied by classmates in real life and cyberbullied online. Halligan was repeatedly sent homophobic instant messages and was 'threatened, taunted and insulted incessantly' His suicide helped create Vermont laws to address the cyberbullying problem and the risk of teen suicides in response. The two laws that were passed were the Bullying Prevention Policy Law and a Suicide Prevention Law (Act 114).

Effects
Viewing causes deep depression and suicide if viewed by a bully. If viewed by a victim when they tell others of the abuse, convincing them instantly.
