During B’s junior year a girl named K cyberbullied her on snapchat
and instagram. B had edited her arm on a photo and posted it on her
snapchat story. K saw the photo and screenshotted it and posted it
all over her Snapchat and Instagram and said B had edited her butt
to make it bigger when B did not. Later that day, K posted a photo of
