    Sam Leeson, a 13 year old student from Tredworth, Gloucestershire, hanged himself in his bedroom apparently after suffering months of bullying online.

    Sam's mother Sally Cope, 45, said the family only learnt of the cyberbullying when they checked his Bebo page after his death.

    She has blamed Bebo, a teenage social network similar to MySpace, for her son's death, and demanded a crackdown on websites that allow cyberbullies to target other users.

    Sam's profile contained pictures the young boy had taken of himself, showing his assymetrical fringe and dark hair. Other Bebo users had allegedly taunted him over his "emo" appearance.

    Emo – short for "emotional' – is a fashion and music style associated with gothic and punk subcultures, often stereotyped by assymetrical fringes and skinny black jeans.

    “Sam was such a loving boy," Ms Cope told The Sun.

    "He was into his appearance and often wore his black skinny jeans. If anything can come from this utterly pointless death of a lovely boy we want to try and help.”

    Sam's eldest sister Emma, 22, said she was aware of "name-calling about the whole emo thing".

    “Bullying had been going on and we are disgusted and angry,” she said.

    According to The Daily Mail, Bebo users who taunted Sam on the site have since left messages apologising for their conduct. It is not known if they went to his school.

    Four YouTube videos and a Bebo page have been set up as online memorials for Sam.

    Earlier this year, a British politician warned against online memorials following a series of teen suicides in a small town.

    Bridgend's Labour MP Madeleine Moon said memorial pages on Bebo and other websites showed "some sort of romanticism of death".

    "What is concerning is that you're getting internet bereavement walls. That's not going to help anyone," she told The Times.

    "What people need is not to go into a virtual world of the internet to deal with emotional problems."

    "They need to stay very much in this real world and talk to real people."
