Growing up Online

This Frontline video is about how teens are using the Internet to much. Some teens use it for bullying, some for taking pictures, and some just to keep involved. Whatever the case was these teens spent way too much time on the Internet. 
One case was Jess or Autumn. She was a young girl who got picked on growing up in school. So when Jess was 14 she changed her Internet identity to Autumn Edows. As Autumn Edows she was a goth model which was completely different  then who she really was Jess.
Another case was a 13 year old kid named Ryan. Ryan was constantly bullied at school and on the web. When Ryan would get home from school he would go to in the Internet and get bullied which unfortunaly led to suicide.
The last kid was in High School and was on the computer all day, whether it was spark notes or facebook  he was never off. In one case he went on an educational site so his parents thought he was learnin when really he was on facebook.
