Got some sad news last night. Seems my niece's daughter who is 14 had enough bullying done by her school mates and ended her journey with life of 14yrs. Nothing more to say.
Comments
We had a similar bullying suicide here in Utah recently. A 10-yo girl.
This would stop if we severely punished the bullies.
Prayers for your niece and your family. Words fail me.
Well that just hurts to hear, sorry for your family's loss.
Very sad! Prayers said for peace, comfort, strength, and healing for this family!
If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!
Our best from here. Poor girl. Healing will be long for the family.
Damn... 😥

That just sucks.
Sorry for your loss, prayers sent.
Sorry for your family's loss.
Sorry to hear that I can't even imagine so I'll just say a prayer.
Holy crap that's awful. Prayers for your family.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I'm so sorry. That's just unbelievably sad.
The rest of us men..... it's not going to be popular but it's time to talk HARD with our kids about whether they need a cell phone.
Social media is a cancer. It makes kids compare themselves to others. It talks them into doing stupid things. It kills their self esteem. You won't be popular but you very well might save your kids' lives if you get a FAMILY cell phone and everyone shares it.
We all grew up without one and we survived it.
Social media has increased the effects of bullying exponentially. I am sorry that your family had to experience this and you have my thoughts and prayers for overcoming this devastating loss. Bob
That's really sad, and there is no way to fix the hurt she left behind. My condolences to her family.

It was a .380 to the stomach.. Bled out no one home 11 yr old brother found her deceased .
This is horrible and heat breaking. Lord please rest that child in your arms.
So very sorry for the loss. Our prayers are with her and her family.
My sympathy to your family. Our granddaughter ended her life at 15 and we have no idea why.
Sorry to hear of this tragic loss .......Prayers for your family.
Sorry to hear the SAD news.
sorry to hear such a sad loss of a life too many kids feel no other way out
Prayers for you and the family SF.
And a pox on her tormentors!
Beyond any words I could ever think of. I believe this is part of what passes for society today. So, so sorry. Prayers sent for your family.
So very sad. Prayers for your family, SF.
I am so VERY sorry to hear this. I wish we could all just start telling every random kid we see how much high school doesn't matter and how life begins once you leave that behind. Young people think whatever nonsense is going on in school is going to lead to whatever happens next....and it couldn't be further from the truth for most people. A little hope is all they need to make it through those horrible years.
This is beyond horrible. Prayers for that child, and all family.
My wife's cardiologist's daughter took her own life about four or five years ago. She was a activist for Hillary Clinton almost joined at the hip. My wife and I noticed a change in the doctors demeanor. We knew something was terribly wrong. Let his hair grow, unkempt etc. In this area he was young and top of the heap in his field. Gave seminars, the whole nine yards. About 1.5 years ago he vanished from the face of the earth. His group would not tell us any thing. Never sent a letter out or said goodbye. My wife was his patient for almost 20 years. So much sadness for their family that is left behind.--------------------------------Ray
Very sorry to hear SF. Hope the family can find some peace soon.
Devastating. Prayers that all envolved are able to cope. Damn.
I was so glad to get out of high school.
Bullies should be charged with emotional assault.
Sad. You just wonder what good people they might have become if they could have lived and put the bullying behind them.
ITS TIME SOME DADS GO O SCHOOL AND KICK SOME *. THE BULLYS AND THE BULLYS FATHER. KEEP UP WITH YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS, TALK TO THEM. IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHATS GOING ON, YOUR NOT DOING YOUR JOB.
I'm sorry for your loss. Some kids are just terrible people with no sense of civilty or decency. Obviously their parents did not do their jobs.
Just so, so sad to hear this news select-fire! There are just no words to quell your families sadness. I will surely add you and all in my morning prayers.
This really hits a nerve in me this morning. My 3rd sons 11 year old daughter has been going through some kind of turmoil for the last couple of months since school started. She has totally refused to attend school and has been playing both her parents in a game that there is nothing you can do to make me! School councilor sent truancy police officer to their home at sons request but it only got her back for part of a week. She went right back to complete rebellion. Everyone has been trying to get my granddaughter to talk about her reasons for this behavior to no avail.
I, being old school with an upbringing of "spare the rod, spoil the child" first suggested to my son and DIL that she needed a good licking in order to establish some form of parental control through discipline. Son advised me that in todays world my methods would lead to family separation through the system. A system that has crippled most parental means of authority of any kind!
I find myself at my wits end as a grandparent living 300 miles away. I just hope and pray that this will all turn out to be just a very short phase for the girl, but unless she comes clean and shares what is going on in her life.......
I spent this whole weekend clearing out my ex brother-in-law's house. He's dead now, from Covid. Because nobody was there to kick his butt into going to the doctor. His daughter was the only one he listened to.
Where was his daughter? The one love of his life? She's dead from peer pressure, bad influence, drugs, the whole 9 yards.
Three snow machines. A jet-ski. A tracked vehicle. A GMC pickup. Two snowmachine trailers. A fine home entertainment system. Three dogs, two cats and a gourmet kitchen. All unneeded, unwanted, unused, unnecessary because he's gone.
Why? Because of peer pressure, because of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and these damned things called cell phones.
They are a cancer. Get them out of your kids' hands.
Was watching the looting and throwing stuff in vehicles for getaway on TV last night. They use their cell phones to come up with a battle order. You would think they would bring a bag to stuff their loot in but they don't. Even a bank robber brings a bag. If you take the cell phones away you have a freedom of speech issue? See big trouble on the horizon. I don't know what the answer is.----------------------------------------Ray
Ma Deuce and a front end loader might be a good deterrent.
That is so sad. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Oakie
