Ms. Bennett loved her job teaching middle school English, but her world was turned upside down when she became the target of a group of students’ online harassment. The students created fake social media accounts, spreading rumors about her and sending her threatening messages. At first, Ms. Bennett thought it would blow over, but the harassment escalated to the point where she was afraid to check her phone. Despite reporting the cyberbullying to the administration, the students faced minimal consequences. The stress took a toll on her mental health, and she began having panic attacks. Unable to cope with the constant fear, Ms. Bennett decided to leave the school, feeling unsupported and unsafe in the digital age.
