About 2,000 a year!
The rate of suicide from cyberbullying is not very high, but even a few is too many.
In the United Kingdom there are around 16 deaths per year on average through cyberbullying. Most of these are teenagers and young adults.
6 teenagers in America I believe.

Statistic says that there is an average number of 4500 kids who commit suicide each year because of cyber bullying.
It would be a guess on how many people have committed suicide after appearing on a realty TV show. James Terrill, who appeared on Supernanny, and Mindy McCready, who appeared on Celebrity Rehab, both committed suicide.

Too many!
Somehow, we have been led to believe that "cyberbullying" is worse than regular old bullying, where real kids in real schoolyards make real threats to real people. It seems that hanging the prefix "cyber-" onto practically anything makes it something new and ever so dangerous.According to my research, only four instances of teen suicide have ever been associated -- even tenuously -- with "cyberbullying," that is bullying via the internet. We have to compare that number with nearly 2,000 teen suicides -- for whatever reasons -- in the US each year.The most famous case of teen suicide associated with "cyberbullying" is that of Megan Meier. She committed suicide in Missouri in October 2006 after a period of online romance and recrimination. But Megan had been a psychiatric patient for six years before her death, since the age of 8. She had been diagnosed as being depressed and as having attention deficit disorder (ADD). She had been taking psychiatric drugs such as citalopram, methylphenidate, and ziprasidone for years.In general, users of terms like "cyberbully" are promoting a political agenda, rather than addressing a real problem. Certainly in this case, after nearly two decades of the internet -- and the appurtenant opportunities for bullying online -- the results are in. Or rather, they're not.
