Cyberbullying: Front Page News for the Sioux City Journal

 The Sioux City Journal Front Page News Anti-BullyingAs reported by Yahoo! News, the The Sioux City Journal's Sunday, April 22, 2012, edition, features a full-page piece with a very clear anti-cyberbullying statement. This follows in the wake of a gay teen committed suicide after being bullied. The Sioux City Journal's calls out the community to stand up and stop bullying. Getting much attention in the past few weeks, the move "Bully" documents the story of 14-year-old Kenneth Weishuhn Jr. who committed suicide after  intense harassment, including threatening cellphone calls and nasty comments posted online, after coming out to family and friends about a month ago.

He died April 15 from what the local sheriff's office described only as a "self-inflicted injury." Kenneth was a Sioux City middle school student and we can only hope that such a thing will never happen again. With more attention and statements like the one the The Sioux City Journal made on Sunday, hopefully it wont.
