  • Tom Crouch Times are different and this is a REAL issue. We went through our 9 year old daughter having suicidal thoughts last year for the same reason. This is simply sad and the issue is not parents teaching kids how to deal with bullies but rather teaching the parents of the bullies how to treat another human. Parenting skills are seriously lacking in today's society along with people's moral compass. My heart goes out to the family. Such a sad and senseless thing to happen to anyone.

    • Penny Stiverson I agree this needs to start at home with the bullies. When our children see us laughing and making fun of others it sends the message that it is ok. We do it when we talk bad about gays, Hispanics, blacks, whites, others religion. We all need to sto...See More

  • Holly Vejrostek Parents need to start teaching their kids how to deal with bullying. We're obviously not going to stop it, it's been going on FOREVER. Kids are going to be mean. Teach your kids to stand up and fight back!!

  • Tom Crouch Some of the comments here....this is what's wrong with our country! No compassion and a lack of understanding. Our society is so judgmental it makes me sick. It is not the parents fault she committed suicide. As I said the issue is that bullying even exists. Come on people!

    • Shannon Garcia Mark, there are more severe cases of bullying. Some cases involve horrible acts, many kids, and last years. These kids don't have the emotional capabilities to deal with the intense cruelty and self hatred that comes from bullying. Try and be sympathetic. Not all cases are the same and not every person reacts to trauma in the same way.

  • Jessica Linder To see how embedded bullying is in our society, look at the comments. To make a comment on her beauty or ask why someone would bully someone so beautiful is to essentially say that it'd be more understandable if she were "ugly." The condolences are heartfelt but think about your words.

  • Eugene Ortiz And what is done to the bullies? Nothing nothing ever happens to them they go on living their perfect little lives and nothing is done. Hold the school and the parents of these kids accountable make the bullies do community service and work at homeless shelters send their parents to jail or prison for not showing their kids respect. They have obviously failed at their job of raising their kids.

  • Linda Lou Allour hamyyh, when a person is to the point of committing suicide, they no longer have rational thoughts. When a person is depressed, there is an actual chemical change in the brain. she did not set out, nor realize she was hurting her family. It's so sad that no one caught her mood or other symptoms.

  • Katie Whitson Childers Today's kids communicate virtually and are socially uneducated in social cues and mannerisms that comes from face to face communication. This starts at home with parents who give their kids electronics to keep them busy versus interact with their child. Why have kids if you don't plan to devote time and attention to nurturing them? So many people would give anything to have kids.
