A US teenager suspended from school for creating a fictional character who committed suicide to lift awareness of bullying should have been commended.
That is the view of Australian anti-bullying expert, Adjunct Professor Ken Rigby, from the University of South Australia.
New York student Jessica Barba, 15, created a Facebook page and a YouTube video under a fictitious name to raise awareness of the problem of bullying in schools.
