My cousin is a freshman in High School. Her friend committed suicide from being bulllied in school and from social media. It breaks my heart.
She was a little girl. So young. I just am astonished and so saddened by this news. That poor family.

Mangia! My Family Table
So terrible. I hope she's at peace and I hope that one day her family manages to find some.
It's not like it even gets better. How many bullies do we have on here? How many times have a group of grown women started PMing each other about who they think sucks, and then create PID's just to try and humiliate them and put them down? I don't understand what's wrong with people and why they do such terrible things at any age. Like, WHY? I've been bullied in kindergarten, high school, as an adult, and everywhere in between and it always made me think "wtf is wrong with you? did your mom not hug you enough?" i remember all too well being 15 in high school and thinking that was forever. like high school would actually play a role in how my life turned out. i would have been much happier if i knew how little it mattered a few years later, that it really was just a rough patch and i'd never see them again.
Yes it was.
My friends son was just bullied on the bus. He's in K. 5 yrs old and already getting bullied.
Just breaks my heart. Prayers for that girls family.
Unfortunately I think Bullying is getting worst. My son whom is 4 already got bullied just because he is wearing glasses. Makes me sick, I did everything in my power to get to the bottom and protect my child and make him happy again and love school.
As they get older it's harder for kids to communicate with their parents about what they are going through so they get to a point where they feel they can't take it anymore. My Niece at 14 was being bullied really bad in her first year of HS. I kept up with her while her mom, My sister was too busy to see signs. She's a single parent (No excuse) I get it. Anyway, I did all in my power to get involved and help. She lives an hour away. My niece got into a bad state, to the point where she said she couldn't take it and didn't want to go to school. My sister and I got the school involved with the issues and the police, We also stalked her FB page and replied to posts. It stopped and things changed for her to the better.
She will be celebrating her sweet 16 next month with so many friends beside her. I feel that when the kids feel helpless and no one is there to lift them up, it sinks them. Bullies are the worst!!
