TAKING A LEAP
OF FAITH //
Self-confidence helps victims to
take a stand against bullying
For Pinnacle High School junior Joan Harding*, her Christian faith was the ray
of hope against cyberbullying.
The harassment started when her best friend Chelsea Moran*, who was
jealous of the time Harding spent with other friends, sent Harding derogatory
text messages. Without a best friend, Harding dealt with the betrayal and the
pain of cyberbullying alone.
The malicious texts continued and, as hard as she tried to ignore them, there
were too many to forget. Comments like “Aren’t you so cool hanging out with
your church?,”You don’t even have friends there,” and “You are such a loser
who doesn’t do anything fun” sent her into a summer of torment and confusion.
Soon after, Harding was diagnosed with depression so severe that she
switched from a public high school to being home-schooled. With the support
of her family and her faith, however, Harding has regained her confidence and
plans to return to Pinnacle in 2011.

“To this day, I have no
clue why the group was
created. I question it a
lot and wonder about
it. Looking back, the
kids who were involved
must have been very
insecure to have done
something like that.”
