So sad-------one needs to understand human nature in all it's darkness, in order to walk through this world, with any degree of equanimity.

I feel sad for her,
but she must have had other pre-existing mental issues to want to kill herself.
Many of us have endured far far far worse abuses at the hands of others.
Some have told of their ordeals here at LL.
Yes, the abuse pushed her over the edge but I feel there were other issues that had nothing to do with that.

I feel she must have been super-sensitive, but I do not think that hypersensitivity alone constitutes mental illness. Let's not forget her age. At 15, a love disappointment AND bullying can be really felt as the end of the world as you know it. If you are impulsive and feel estranged from your loved ones, these two elements (love disappointment and bullying) can push you to the edge. It's a shame because she did have her whole life in front of her and with her looks, it would have been a good life. But some souls are growing lost and if this happens, they're best back to the Source. I think her death was a fated event...

Yes it seemed fated somehow.
I and others I knew of,
endured rapes and assaults and worse heartbreak and hardships than her and were not pretty like her.
And we were super sensitive too.
We survived it.
So I feel she had other issues not stated in the article.
It is like the teens in my area who try to use their abusive home lives for excuses for committing their crimes up to including murder.
I am like wtf??????????
Many folks have had or do have far worse lives,
but are not out committing crimes!

Think of her age, Lex.
If she was a bit impulsive by character, suicide was an easy next step under her circumstances.
We don't know the whole story of course. When I say "over-sensitive" I mean it as in "unable to get over her feelings most of the times". People like these are truly weak and unable to protect themselves from external sh*t.
Perhaps this is what you mean by mental illness?

I did think of her age.
I and many others when her age and younger had such experiences and worse.
It saddens me that such a young and attractive person felt she had to die.
I guess I am lucky my attempts were thwarted in time.
Including up to being hospitalized and or stomach pumped, and plain weird luck.
I can totally relate to how she must have felt.

LEXX, I feel very sorry for this young girl and would like to keep the thread focused on her and the terrible effects of bullying.. For some reason you have to make every thread about yourself.

I am sad you feel that way.
NO THIS IS NOT ABOUT ME.
I simply understand how she felt and am sad she killed herself.
It makes me sadder because she seemed to have everything going for her yet let nasty people get to her, as many have when there was no one to talk to about such things.
I wish I had known her because maybe I could have helped her somehow.
I wish I could help them all.
Just because I can relate and been in her kind of shoes means I understand,
that does not make it about me.

It makes me feel for her and others deeply.
So if you posted about any woe or ill or whatever,
and I said I understand because I have had such, or any other experiences I have had that are the topic?
that makes it about me?
Fine.
I am sad and stunned about that poor girl.
However you think me heartless and just because I have nearly been there.....I have no right to comment.
Geeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
I will leave your thread because you believe I cannot possibly understand how she felt and I cannot possibly feel sad for her according to you.

By the way Dee;
your reaction has helped me with a rather big decision on what I should share or not, and where I should be or not be from hereon.

This makes me so sad. It's heartbreaking for me because I know how it feels to be bullied and seeing it end so tragically for someone else... It breaks your heart. It's especially upsetting that the teachers at her school most likely knew that students were giving her a hard time, yet didn't stop it. Teachers always hear about rumors and stories somehow... yet they're perfectly willing to turn away... not deal with a single student unless they absolutely must... because they're either not paid enough, don't care enough, or aren't being told enough to nurture as well as teach. It's so ******* unfortunate, and another example of how our society is going down the gutter.

This sort of thing seems increasingly common, or it's getting more vicious, I don't know what.
I don't think they all have pre-existing psychological issues, but I don't know their medical records obv.
They all seem just soooo immersed in the reality of being a teen and forgetting that world exists beyond that, + adults aren't listening to them.
I'd be scared to have a teen right now. It's hard w.the violence in the schools, it's even scarier when they're going through something & don't even feel comfortable talking to you as a parent.

There was another story not too long ago, the girl confided in her mom, and the mother could have taken her out of that school but she didn't & now she has to live w.the fact that her baby killed herself.
Parents just don't seem to be listening. You don't wait until things escalate, you make sure problems are stopped in their tracks, line of communication needs to stay open.

Ouch, Dee. Lexx can relate to that Girl, so why not feel for Lexx too? Those who can relate have a story, those who have something to contribute, often contribute in their own way. It can be about themselves, someone they know, or just some thoughts.

What a sad story. Sending out a wish that she is resting in peace, somewhere getting the healing and love she needs, maybe surrounded by people she loved that went before her or her guides.

*also (& this is not directed at anyone, just something that crossed my mind), perhaps she had many more hard things go on in her life before that we don't even know about and the bullying was too much for her. We don't know if it was only because of the bullying and love lost. Some people are dealt quite a rough deck and are not always able to handle it, it becomes too much.

I hope she is in a better place now.
