Suicide pacts are also in the United States. In April 2018, Macon Middle School, a middle school in North Carolina, became aware of a group on social media called "Edgy" or "Edgy Fan Page 101" in which this group came up with a suicide pact and had suicide ideations. The middle school contacted the parents and informed them to look into their children's social media pages and talk with them about the dangers of a group like this.[1]

In the death of Phoebe Prince, prosecutors did not take her death lightly and initially charged each of the six teens responsible for her death with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, criminal harassment, disturbing a school assembly and a civil rights violation with a bodily injury resulting. The felony charge civil rights violation with bodily injury alone carries a 10-year maximum sentence. Some of the other accused teens also faced the violation of civil rights with bodily injury charge, as well as statutory rape and stalking. The teens later got a plea deal that stated if they pleaded guilty in a misdemeanor charge of criminal harassment the more serious charges would be dropped. [2]

In Océane Ebem's suicide, she livestreamed it on a social networking site called Periscope. In this stream she talked about how she had been physically and sexually abused by her boyfriend, and gave his name and means to contact him. In response to her confession, the viewers watching the livestream could care less about what she had to say and how to help. Instead they bullied her in the comments section and sayed incredibly mean and hurtful things. In response, she livestreamed her suicide and thousands of people saw it.[3]
