Legal Question in Criminal Law in Massachusetts
I have been reading a lot about cyber bullying lately for school, all the articles I have read only talk about if you bully someone to the point they kill themselves. If you threaten to kill yourself via text messages either through your phone or a service like kik or skype, are there legal repercussions?

Depends, there may not be real legal repercussions but you may find the police at your door for a welfare check. Also if your even considering any type of harm to yourself please contact a professional or tell a friend.
