Bullying Workshop


“Bullying, Cyberbullying,

and Youth Depression”

A Presentation for Adults
By
John Halligan

Wednesday, April 24, 2013
7:00 – 8:30pm
Butler Middle School Auditorium



Johh Halligan’s son, Ryan, died by suicide on 
October 7, 2003 after being bullied by classmates at school and online. He was 13 years old.
Halligan’s presentation will cover the lessons 

learned too late for his family regarding how 

to deal with bullying, cyberbullying, and teen 

depression.

Parents will be empowered with strategies to 

take preventive actions with their    own 

children.

“Primetime with Diane Sawyer devoted an 

entire episode to cyberbullying and Ryan’s 

story called “Cruel Intentions.” Along with his 

wife Kelly, he also appeared in the PBS 

Frontline special called “Growing up On-Line” 

and on the Oprah Winfrey Show. We are 

grateful that Mr. Halligan is coming to Lowell 

to share his story with us.
