Model cries ‘stop’ to cyberbullying

A teenage model who was subjected to vicious cyberbullying after winning a local beauty title has urged other victims of online bullying not to suffer in silence.

Shauna Sisk, 18, from Cobh, Co Cork, who sought help to confront the bullies, said she was going public about her experience to offer hope to others. “Talking to somebody about it was the best thing I did,” she said.

“My advice to others suffering from cyberbullying is don’t hide away. Don’t bury it. It’s not worth the pain. We have to stand up to and stop the bullies. People, especially young girls, are taking their lives because of this.”
