Lori Drew Indicted In Relation To Megan Meier’s Suicide

The teenage years can be confusing and difficult enough on their own. Add into the mix mental health problems and a neighbor, who’s more than three times your age, harassing you online, and you have the makings of…well, even more confusing and difficult times.
