October is anti-bullying month. There's probably a story similar to this in every city, but wanted to share this. This is a local girl who recently commited suicide over being bullied.

This girl killed herself shortly after this video.
Obviously there will be mixed reviews about this video, but let's not try to deviate too far from the actual message.

I dont mean to sound harsh or to blame her, but why didnt she just get off social networking sites?
Nevertheless bullies are horrible people.

Better yet, why didn't she press charges or have police investigate who this stalker was through FB?
But yes, bullies are horrible
i saw that on CNN, real sad how they show her doing the Q cards of how she felt before she killed herself. i regret even watching it.

It's surreal that this happened in my city, in fact my nephews knew about this girl. People are going batty in this city, kids skipping school today because of this
I hate bullying. You shouldn't pick on someone that is weaker or smaller than yourself. As a kid I've went through both phases. The Bully and the bullied phase. Bullying as been around since the beginning of time. But why is it so political now. Why is there a anti-bullying month..is that really necessary? I hate politicians.
[QUOTE=jaydacris]damn thats really sad
especially the last couple cards
[B]the cruelty of some kids/teenagers is shocking at times, and of course its worse because of mob mentality (gotta be mean to fit in)[/B]
she struggled so much, and people beat her while she was on the ground...
poor girl[/QUOTE]
Not too derail but I see that attitude on here even.

Don't
This whole bullying thing is being blown out of proportion. Bullying has and will always exist. Is it wrong? Sure. But bullying is part of human nature and adults engage in forms of bullying as well let alone kids.
For god's sakes we live in America. America is the biggest bully in the world by far. We ain't complaining.

That doesn't mean we have to accept it as our reality. Anything to hinder behavior that causes someone to kill themselves is not a waste of time. If you mean to suggest people should just stop worrying about bullying and let it happen, the problem will grow.
She could've avoided the whole situation if she didn't flash herself on the internet.
Sad story.
Pretty sad story.:( Didn't she have a brother, male cousin, anyone to stand up for her?
She needed this...
