AGAIN: New York Bullying Victim Kills Herself!
A Staten Island 15-year-old whose family said she got
bullied at school has died after walking in front of a bus holding a
suicide note, reports the Daily News.
Classmates had taken the belongings of Amanda Cummings and even made
mean comments on her Facebook page after the incident, her uncle said.
"I’m not going to tolerate this. I’m gonna go full force," said Keith
Cummings. "Kids can't do this to each other."
Amanda
was a "beautiful, healthy, happy, normal young girl," said a cousin, but
when it came to troubles at school, "she was pretty quiet about it."
She was friends with an 18-year-old boy, which apparently made girls in
her grade jealous. "She didn’t phrase it so much to the family but made
little comments here and there ... in journals, online or through her
Facebook page," said Brandy Henderson, adding that the family had been
"trying to deal with" the issue. “I don’t feel anything towards (the
bullies) except sadness that it had to lead to something like this."
