Rejected petition Change the law in bulling and cyber bullying More serious punishment.

Too many children taking their own lives via bulling or cyber bullying. Being told to kill themselves and actually proceeding with it. Why isnt there a more serious punishment. Why dont theses poor children have much support or help. Stricter laws against bullying.
