Is there going to be punishment to stop people doing it? It’s awful.”While sharing the affect of online bullying, she also shared that sometimes she used to stay awake till late night because the steroids were keeping her up. Dowden went on to say, “I was so low and then receiving those messages was heartbreaking. I just feel like it’s not spoken about.”
