12 year old Rebecca Sedwick jumped to her death September 9 after intense bullying. Apparently there was a dispute between her and another girl who dated the same boy. It unfortunately didn't end with her death. The rude comments continued after her death. The comments made led to an arrest of a 12 year old(who was released to her parents)and a 14 year old who remains detained. It was proved that Rebecca was not only verbally harassed but she was also physically attacked at least once.
Response
This story is really upsetting to me. It hurts me to think that some action of a child could actually lead to another child's death. Being a victim of bullying myself in elementary school I absolutely identify with some of the feelings Rebecca was feeling. I hope that her abusers get put to justice.
