I am both saddened and enraged by this. Such a beautiful girl just trying to fit in. Where are our morals? Where are our ethics? Where are the parents? This should be a zero tollerance issue. First time caught bullying you are suspended for a week. Second time you are kicked out of school. Force parents to be involved. Are we all just too busy in our personal lives to care about what our children are doing to others at school. Teachers who knew this was happening. Shame on you all! Why did you not step in? Principals that know, why did you not do anything? Now you all wait until it is too late to step up and speak out. Are we in denial? Or do we really care what happens to others. I guess as long as it is not our child who cares? Is that our attitude. This issue needs to be discussed in schools on a regular basis. Let these kids know that your actions have consequences. It is not ok to treat others like that. You will be dealt with if you are bullying others. Your parents will be notified. Put some fear in these bullies. Make them accountable for their actions. Help our kids help themselves. Don't be silent and stand on the sidelines while other are being beat down either verbally or physically. We need to stand up for our children now before it gets worse. Can it get any worse than suicide?
