The story of Megan Meier and Lori Drew is a terrible story. Lori Drew told Megan that the world would be a better place if she wasn’t in it. Megan took this in the worst way possible which lead her into committing suicide. At the case with Lori Drew who pretended to be a teenage boy who Megan ended up liking. This could violate freedom of speech but at the same time it might not. Ways that it does is that the constitution of America strictly states that “All men are created equal and goes on to say that freedom of speech is to be given to everyone.” Ways in which this does violate that message is that there should be a limit of what should be said, people should not be saying stupid and hurtful things like this. Another question that could be brought up is, should Lori Drew be charged with murder? Lori Drew probably should not be charged with murder however she should be charged with false identity because of her impersonating a teenage boy. Lori didn’t tell Megan to kill herself or do anything to help her do it.

Everyone can be safe on the internet if they know who they are talking to. Parents all around are afraid of their sons or daughters on the internet just because of that one reason. If you do not know who it is you are talking to, then don’t talk to that person.
