It's sad that we don't see anything done about a serious problem until it too late.



Those who participated in bullying this girl until she felt the only way to make things better was to take her own life should be ashamed. I hope they get what they deserve.

It's unfortunate that issues like this go unattended until it's too late

Holy moly! A topic not related to imaginary $$$ and PR bribery!

Yes, it is sad. But we, as a society, have decided that using physical responses to stand up for yourself is unacceptable. I happen to have a different opinion on the subject. I wonder what would have happened if the girl had told someone close to her and they trained her to put the "bully" in some sort of restraining move and force them to tap out. Bet the teasing would stop then, don't you?

It truly is messed up, it's sad that this happened to her. To think that people harass others just for entertainment, pathetic.

meh, suicide happens all the time, if I were to worry myself of every suicide I would kill myself because I was so sad.

Once in a while it is a good thing to have it brought to our attention that there are indeed really horrible people on the internet.

it happens everyone suffers loss there is no point worrying about the loss of people you don't know when you have your own, it is just unneeded sadness. In fact I believe taking time to cry about it is a disservice to the dead person for they then have the sadness of everyone on their concience.

Condolences and the recognition of the kinds of things that harm society are never a negative legacy.

We all know it I am just saying that worrying helps nobody, in fact it ruins your day and may kill the good mood of those around you.

Maybe those around us should have these types of things brought to their attention? It's easy to forget that bullying can have a profound impact on people. I don't see it much at my school, but I don't think that means I can just say "meh, I don't want my good mood killed *ignore*".

I don't want to seem like a bad person... do you guys understand my viewpoint?

Yes, I understand it better. I may not agree with it, but I'd like to apologize for the whole "Screw you" bit. Sorry about exploding at you.

I pray that she now sees how many people care for her.

I understand and completely disagree. A legacy of learning, reform, and offered condolences is not at all a bad thing. Perhaps people don't need to be getting their hearts broken over it, but brushing it off your shoulders is an equally inapropriate response.

When I was in high school, I knew of three students who committed suicide. I didn't know them personally but it just strikes me ill that no one knows what's going on until it is too late. Worrying and showing your concern for someone's loss isn't so bad. It's what makes us human.

While I do not condone the taking of a life...I think it has less to do with "No one loves me!" and more to do with a feeling of isolation. Who do I turn to? What do I say?

Again, not every teenager is comfortable asking for help, and fewer still understand how to deal with bullies.

[Wicked 702]

Fine, I'll play devil's advocate.

I feel that it is disingenuous to expect each human to feel something for every other human. I think it is natural for people to feel emotions only when the person affected is close to them. Not everyone reacts emotionally to the news of a murder in a far off land or even something like this.

Edit: If you haven't figured it out yet, this is a defense to randumb's question as to why it's bad if he brushes off his shoulders. I'm defnding his point slightly.

I'll preface this by stating I skimmed the second link. Why did I skim it? Well, I retched in disgust before long because this pitiably doesn't even surprise me. It's a travesty, but entirely expected. I applaud the kid who won his lawsuit and feel sorry for the other one that felt so powerless she found no other recourse except to take her own life.



Being able to directly relate to this story I'm about as biased as it gets, so I'll just step out of this one now and sidestep the possibility someone's response will really aggravate me.

^^ i agree taking your life doesnt solve anything, but if you read there were thing such as rape involved, this wasnt just simple i think your ugly bullying
