Like it or not bullies play an important role in society i.e. getting rid of the weak and in this case they were effective i.e. getting rid of the weak who would likely have followed the same course be it bullies or a break-up or a dismissal from a job. You want to blame the bully I blame the weak person.

Some of these posts show how sick and deteriorated our society is, totally out of touch with humanity with a Nazi mentality. Absolutely no empathy for the victim or family, just a process of elimination, a young beautiful girl who came to a breaking point. To me this is a tragedy and to think bullies play an important role in society makes me wonder about you, very sociopathic statement

I guess you are probably a bully jerk to make a sick statement like that

To Shawn Busyway i think your a weak person for thinking that. Thats an AWFUL thing to say from that commet i can tell you were or still r a bully your self....

I absolutely agree. Some people can say, "ignore it". You can for a while but then there are folks who just keep at it. I am sorry it came to this. RIP.

shawn then to bad you werent one of the weak you douche bag.. that is NOT how it works... those that bully have NO LIFE, No selfesteem and only get pleasure out of hurting others.. obviously You are one of them..

@Shawn Bushway: Like it or not my guess is you are probably a bully. People who usually make those kind of comments usually are!!!

You're right. I think one of the big problems with bullies is that they usually have a problem themselves and it makes them feel like good for what ever reason. Also I'm sure parents play a role in it. They don't have any self esteem and pick on others because of it.

Shawn theoretically in the animal world what you say is correct, but in a civilized society of humans we should rise above that and have some compassion for those that may be weaker in whatever form it may present itself in. Should one who is a bully be left to die because one day he/she gets cancer? Now the insurance company says your not covered, whos the bully now? You never know when its your turn and we all at one time or another have a turn. Even if that scenario dosnt happen, without weak people the bullys will have to turn upon themselves and you may not be the biggest bully in the ring. What goes around, comes around.

you are sick Shawn----- ---and a big meanie!!

What would Shawn Bushway do if suddenly we all bullied him for his careless and heartless comment? Sounds like an Ayn Rand sociopath to me. Shawn Bushway doesn't seem like a common name. Must be easy look up. Who's weak NOW, Shawn? Douche.

How dare you Shawn Bushway!!! What do you mean like it or not Bullies Blah, Blah, Blah! Our world is filled with the innocent and vulnerable. They need LOVE and CARE not MALICE! Your opinion is COMPLETELY EGOCENTRIC and LACKS ANY TRUE ETERNAL WISDOM.

@Shawn B,
Your comments sound as if you're living in a bubble somewhere - completely out of touch with life, reality, and humanity.

Compassion and the ability to reason (i.e., think independently above our physical urges and compulsions) are the very qualities that distinguish us from the rest of the animal kingdom.

You are not living in prehistoric (caveman) times Shawn, but in the 21st century where we choose to help the weak not "get rid of them."

When a time comes in your life when you are feeling downtrodden or overwhelmed, hopefully others will offer you the understanding, support, and encouragement, that you are missing within your own persona, and that you, and those five women have so callously withheld from this young woman.

Bullies are the weakest , when they face death they lose their lust and die in shame, hiding their fear in an Iron heart.

@Shawn Bushway.What you said is probably the stupidest comment I have ever heard. Bullies contribute nothing to society and unless they change they only do damage to everything and everyone they come in contact with. They are insecure and are nothing more then leaches that take and never give. Hardly an important role in society. Much like you they are worthless.

I agree Victoria that women are pretty bad at putting down other women. I feel that as women age they get better about not doing that. I didnt think I was very attractive when younger however people kept saying it so I took a longer look in the mirror and decided, hey, I am very attractive. Other girls have always seemed mean to me and I found out, from a friend, that girls were just jealous of me so I didnt have many friends. Life was a bummer when I was younger because of that evil called jealousy!
Its all part of the devils plan to make people miserable. SOB devil!!

Shawn Bushway, you cruel little roach, I hope you get naturally selected by nature's giant foot and get squashed. You sub-human piece of @#$$.

Shawn Bushway - I dare you to post your home address here. Or are you too weak and cowardly to do so?

I think Shawn needs a little bullying to see what it feels like.-----You should pray that you lose your sick mentality.

Yep shawn -of course you feel that way. That is exactly how a bully would feel and rationalize their psychotic narcissistic behavior. Go ahead...look a couple of those words up in a Webster -if you know what that is and can figure out how to use a dictionary. Well- documented studies show bullies inevitably score severely lower than average on intelligence quotient (IQ Shawn) testing and lash out to cover a massive insecurity complex. When there is someone in need, the evolved and intelligent response would be compassion. (No doubt you haven't got a clue, huh?)
Good luck in life son. Hope you find a friend some day.

OK --listen up!!
Everyone write the word bullying 100 times . If I see one more of you remedial numbskulls write bulling one more time..... repeat now b-u-l-l-y-i-n-g

Why are all of you people bullying Shawn????

What was said about Riggitano, was that she herself had bullying characteristics at some point while in school. check on Facebook. Hurry before they take it down. Yes, she was bullied, but it was back some seeking revenge.

Why are all you people bullying Shawn for just stating his opinion on an article... SEE? You all are just as guilty of it

"this is meant for Shawn Bushway - only a bully themselves would write such a post it is clear to me that your post is all about you. A bully is a weak person. Apparently they are not very bright either. I suggest you seek professional help

The difficulty lies in defining what a "bully" is. Something said to one person will elicit severe depression and the same thing said to another will elicit laughter. This poor young lady was carrying a Vuitton purse, was the daughter of a wealthy family, was trying to make her way in a very competitive environment. The fact that she wrote a list of names of those she didn't want at her funeral indicates she had a completely skewed view of how her death would be viewed by these "bullies". She was really prepared to die to make the bullies feel guilt over what they did? Believe me, I can't stand bullies, and was bullied when I was a kid. For the life of me I don't understand these bullying and demeaning cooking shows wherein sensitive people put themselves into the fire of being bullied by these egotistical chefs. But they do that, masochistically I might add. The young lady had a problem with self-worth, an extremely sensitive personality, and had no business in a field where bullying, wealth, success, are what are used to gauge a person's values. The problem was not with the bullies; it was with the pseudo-values she had been reared with and the intense need to prove you are worth something to someone other than yourself.

Shawn Bushway...shame on you. You should march your ass up the basement stairs and have a conversation with your parents.....Ask them why they raised you to be a Narcissistic Ahole... I feel sorry for you...

Okay everybody--get Woooody!!

Hey! I want to meet this Lynn!

Did any of you read the comment Shawn was replying to?

Here it is.

What a shame. She looks like a pretty girl that would have had most younger guys chasing after her. (This person seems the insensitive one, and Shawn pointed it out.

Yes, so only ugly people should commit suicide - your reasoning is twisted.

You all just harassed Shawn for a complete misunderstanding, and should apologize. Most or none of you won't anyway.

Who just came off as bullies? YOU ALL DID

Such a terrible loss....such a beautiful girl with her whole life ahead of her. So true Victoria G., what damage bullies can cause. This affects men as well as women unfortunately and my heart truly goes out to her parents and family. My prayers are with them all.

Harass and bully can truly hurt someone. I can give my opinion on such matter.
No one can get used to invasion of privacy , specially when you try to spend quality time with your family. I am sure all of you are allowed to such a simple right I .can't have that. I have to deal with everyday bully ,defamation ,invasion of privacy by
paid publicists and unkind jealous haters. Some people are having too much free time to prejudice and others of the same destructive nature are helping. Would you like to be on my shoes?
They are the crazy ones, they don't know how to stop. They don't respect grandmothers or women.They are only satisfied until you can't take it anymore.
They bring shame to our society, creating problems on people's life.
I think they should stop, if they don't like someone they should keep it to their selves.
Forcing me to go through a public coward type of unfair competition and out of control unwanted fight.
Stop spreading animosity ,find something better to do with your time . A lot people here and in the world are in need of a helping hand.I wish you could be smarter , nicer and fair and if you wish spend your money with better causes instead of harassing me and my family.I truly hope one day the human rights would take charge and stop once for all with this horrific crime.
I am a good person , helped a lot on the business . I don't deserve this psychological
torture. And some people should have take responsibility for so many offenses out there .

I still dont get why people, when they get bullied or hurt by other people then go and do things that would hurt people that are really love and care about them instead...!!! The idea is, to get back to those who hurts you is to do good for yourself and become somebody...But I still think bullies are attention seekers...!!!

I send sincere loving and heartfelt condolences to Ashley's family and friends. She is an exceptionally beautiful and special Angel...I pray that you hold the vision of her ascension flying into the realms of heavenly bliss....whereupon she resides....watching over her loved ones....and all of us!!! She is a beautiful messenger from God......teaching us that the only thing that matters in life.....is love....compassion, understanding, empathy, kindness, and giving. I say a prayer of loving rejoice to and for Ashley for her courage....to be the loving Angel....she was....amongst the ego-filled bullies!!! For she has risen above.....and upon her heavenly ascension......the bullies sink into the depths of despair and desicration!!!! The law of Karma.....will bring those girls....all that they caused Ashley......times One thousand!!!!

i feel very sorry for this woman and her family. bullys beware, Your time to hate on others is up and the bill is due. before You bully again, think about others instead of Yourself all the time, and realize the power and pain of hurting someone only gives you a few minutes of infamy, and others a lifetime of pain, think before you hate, and remember hate is ignorance married to cowardice. love Yourself first, then treat others the way You would want to be treated

Man you are on the money, the court system is the worst and women have made it into an all out massacre, not caring about anyone but themselves.

And Jesus wept...

let's ban bridges & gravity now... we need legislation immediately....

So true, this is so sad.

So true, so true.

What bullies can do??? How sad is that statement. Sad that people let others determine their fate. Sad that parents let their kids be victims...always blaming someone else for their woes.

Bullying is an integral part of our school systems focus. Why? Love and Light energy to this beautiful artist's family, her soul, and this society.

where were her real friends and co-workers when this was going on -ill tell you where they were -they were all worried about their selfish self dont tell me no one new about this bullying treatment this sweet young girl endured sorry for her parents

This is absolutely heartbreaking...I am so sorry she could not have gotten help before reaching her breaking point. It is a tragic loss...she had so many things going for her.

Its a shame how someone can make you do that my cusin gary jumped off bridge 30 years ago over his wife any one out there thinking about that life is way to short dont let anyone ,money,work get to u u always have family to count on my prays r with her

Unfortunately Victoria, bullying is everywhere, at every level. Women can be catty sometimes, but it happens to men as well. I was bullied as an apprentice in my Union by guys that had 15 - 20 years in while I was only experiencing my first year. I was their slave, they told me "apprentices are responsible for the heavy lifting, apprentices go get breakfast, "" "" do this, apprentices do that "". My job description was a sign hanger. That meant walking on 2" X 4" catwalks up hundreds of feet on Broadway, 42nd Street & Times Square while trying to erect, maintain or change signs above pedestrian traffic. The pressures of falling, dropping something or making a mistake were deafening. Some days I wanted to jump off a billboard in Times Square the bullying & stress got to be so much, but then I realized that 3:30 pm will come around soon enough & I would either be going out fishing on my boat, or home to a hot shower to wash away all the filth & abuse I had taken all day. I tried to put it aside from my every day life but I wasn't fooling anyone. I was a happy camper till I took this job. I would turn into this beaten down spineless puppy every morning while sitting in my car trying to avoid the journeymen who made me their pin cushions. Finally at 7:00 am I had to walk the 100' walk of shame in front of them as they sipped their coffee while listening to rude comments about my performance the day before, or what they were going to make me do that particular day. I finally left.

So Funny and entertaining (that's what all this is anyway) How all Your NON-Bullying People can Bully the Hell out of Someone for Speaking Their Mind. I hope all of You have a Wonderful day.. OH, And I've got Two Words for You... NATURAL SELECTION...

In a Society where children are taught that anything is correct and you cannot fail (2+2 =3 is OK) there are no skills developed to cope with the dissapointments, no matter how insignificant, that come in real life. You can try to blame this on the "bullies", but bullies have always existed in society and thus in peoples lives. The increase in suicide of young people is a direct result of an innability to deal with loss, failure and peer pressure coupled with the devaluation of life represented through violence in the entertainment mediums and the Nationalized sanctioning of abortion.

Cesarina "Man you are on the money, the court system is the worst and women have made it into an all out massacre, not caring about anyone but themselves." THIS COMMENT IS A JOKE....A LOT OF CASES STARTED BY WOMEN ARE FOR "Child Support", Alimony, POA, Divorces, and Custody to name a few.....so I guess woman do ans they are against "Dead Beat Dads" and "Abusive Husbands" and refusal to follow court orders for payments.

Richard
The psychological pressure you put on yourselves in trying to be so chic and successful in a big city will only destroy you. Get back home and find a great guy and get married and have kids.

While my heart goes out for the family, suicide is a very selfish and cowardly thing....i had an uncle kill himself and i said the very same thing. Bullying is a serious issue but its not something to end ones life over... this is where parents need to come in. You are supposed to make your child feel special and protect them. These bullies are low lives but when you kill your self who really wins? Children today are becoming way too sensitive and parents need to change that. Bullies will forever be around... the only way to beat them is to beat them up.

That women can be the best of creation... and the worst, has been confirmed many times. Yet it remiains ironic that, nowadays, with so much knowledge from books, films, internet... life! humans cannot learn how to be better, regardless of schooling social strata and money.

Isn't it ironic how those who "hate" bullies are being just thst to Shawn for exercising his freedom of speech!!!!!!!!!!

They should post all their names so that they can be held accountable for their bullying of a young girl who they were probably jealous of. How sad:-(

I am sorry for her
family and the ones who loved her and maybe forgot to hug her and say "I Love You" or just listen to her. In our busy self-centered world it seems we do not have time for our fellow man. We as modern humans forget there is one who we are able to turn to in times of pain and sorrow however we must know HIM before these time of hurt come or find HIM in times of sorrow and despire. We need to find JESUS and our heavenly FATHER, who will see us through problems. It is too late for this child of GOD however many, many more are out in this world who needs someone to lean on. For us left here, it is a time to find GOD and to tell our friends and loved one "I LOVE YOU"

I agree with ya, I seen it in law as well.. peace

Everyone is calling you Shawn and saying you said something nasty - I see "Victoria G" (all the replies are under YOUR name) - I don't get it! You aren't Shawn and you didn't say anything nasty! Duh... I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone here.

Is is always about bullying or a person with mental health problems?? I think the latter..I read she had tried suicide once before..

Now you sounding more like the a bully,guessing she Vic must have come to close to your sociopathic spot but then again with you people thats your comfort zone

Victoria G...COMMENT IS A JOKE....A LOT OF CASES STARTED BY WOMEN ARE FOR "Child Support", Alimony, POA, Divorces, and Custody to name a few.....so I guess woman do and they are against "Dead Beat Dads" and "Abusive Husbands" and refusal to follow court orders for payments juat to name a few. Do you still feel women are the worst? Have you ever been thru this?

Yes, Why? do we need to make others feel less what do we gain from hurting others. How sad to know that bullies are the cause many death in to days society. My prayers are for the family for their lost.

So sad,wish there could have been someone there to stop her and prevent this loss of such a young life with her future ahead.Not sure why people bully others and put them down,maybe because it makes them feel superior and they are basically unhappy people themselves.My grandmother always told me that before I said or did something to someone else to always think about how I would feel if that was said to me or done to me.

Its so sad to hear that someone has to KILL them self to escape the pain from others. People are sick and should be ashamed to have brought someone to this point. They should be punished for there disregard for life !

I see nothing wrong with this comment. Bullies wreak havoc in peoples' lives. And it's true that women are the worst. Every woman has the capacity to be catty. Some control themselves (and don't do it), and some don't. I've seem women who appear to be lovely people, until they get some power - then, watch out! Just being honest here.

Obviously someone who commits suicide or a school massacre after bullying is not an emotionally balanced, stable person at that time. . But bullying is at the root. Years of bullying that they cannot get away from as we could because with cyberspace it follows them 24-7. These people are bullied and harassed and belittled and injured until they close off completely, and combined with poor coping and other diagnoses, it is a firestorm. . A tragic, devastating firestorm. Being bullied is NOT AN EXCUSE, but a root cause when combined with other factors. Society preaches: Stand up for yourself, show confidence (blaming the victim). NOT ONE effort to stop bullying focuses on the BULLY. Heaven forbid someone correct or offend someone or infringe on their free speech--to abuse. Address and announce publically why bullies bully. It is not because of a "hard homelife". Show me a macho male bully and I will show you a boy struggling with sexual identity issues, who has confused sex and aggression as arousal. Show me a "mean girl" and I will show you a girl with a history of sexual abuse and /or eating disorder. Bullying is a combination of power, control and sexual arousal, exactly like the Bully of M'teo said. Put that in public announcements and school posters and billboards. Stop social, school and cyber bullying, and they wont be BRINGING the guns to school or jumping off bridges. Bullying is one of the saddest, most ignored legacies of this generation.

R.I.P. It is amazing how someone so beautiful & with so many positive things going on could let some dirty hoes get to her like that & go so extreme. So sad. I believe the bullying they did was out of jealousy.

i think that their should be murder charges for bullies in suicide cases and in cases like Columbine were the person kills some one and then them self the bully should be accountable words are as bad as guns and i was bullied for a long time i am a minority that survived and is around to try to protect the next generation and that is one thing that needs to be done i am a mom and i will do everything i can to stop bullying i will give my child a spanking if i hear she is bullying someone and god help me not go over board if she is bullied i and my husband both hate bullying and we want to stop it

Until our society gets the fact that we are all connected and that we should only love one another as we love ourselves, we are not progressing.My 19 yr. old daughter made a statement while attending the Titanic exhibit: "With all of the advances in technology over the past 100 years, why aren't we progressing along with it?" Take a moment and reflect on that. When are we going to wake up and just LOVE?
My thoughts and prayers to the Riggitano family.

You are completely right. WOMEN are indeed the worst, but what is saddest is that the so called Leadership that has been bestowed such privileges of positions to do just that LEAD, are failing miserably and should resign, find a position wherein they instead FOLLOW, or something else. Principals, Managers in these companies from top to bottom leadership, I have only seen one in employment that comes close to fitting the standards of what Leadership would be. I say only -come close- because when it came down to hit and the rubber met the road the best she could tell me was "they did the same to me" or "you handle it well" or "let them hang themselves" or "you are chic and have class and they are trashy". Did nothing! I found it only because she was a supervisor in my unit but not upper management who was unethical and cared none about bullying constant harassment or the climate of respect at the large company and their reputation in the community and state is just that...disrespect and lack of ethics.

People have to work...and need these so called Leaders to step up and preserve the boundaries that should have come along with adulthood. Kids and adults have to attend school and college and the so called LEADERSHIP MUST erect a solid wall of dignity and boundaries that will be upheld THIS TIME AND EVERY TIME... AND IMMEDIATELY. Turning a blind eye only happens because legislators have not passed the WORKPLACE BULLYING LAWS to hit pockets of companies allowing this abuse.

It is so unfortunate that women can be such _itches. A friend and I just had a conversation about this very thing. How did women get this way. God did not make us this way where did it come from. Women are always throwing rocks at one another and not realizing or not caring that when that rock strikes it's going to hurt, scar, draw blood or even cause death. As we can see from this tragedy it doesn't matter the status. Throw a rock at me and you will get a boulder back at you. I am tired of this selfish uncaring attitude and personality. If you are being bullied by anyone first pray then straighten your back, lift your head, and carry a BIG Stick. Don't forget to use it. My condolences to the parents and family. Families we must be more in tune to what is happening to our young/old members and sometimes we must come to their rescue with our BIG Stick.

Aa a father of three daughters, I cant imagine what the family is going through.
My deepest condolences to all her family and friends…..AND TO THOSE OF YOU OUT THERE THAT BULLIE OTHER PEOPLE, IT JUST SHOWS HOW WEAK YOU REALLY ARE…..YOU WILL MEET YOUR MAKER ONE DAY...

Bullies did not do this . Get with it bullies are here to stay and jumping off a bridge is no way to handle it ! ooh fight for legislation bla bla . Have some courage and fight those bullies even if they beat you down. What kind of message are you sending the kids? Being bullied kill yourself? All these suicides and mass shootings come from mental anguish . People see no future . Blame our government for using us all as disposable pawns in a game of big business and materialistic gain running us into the ground , Blame her for jumping selfishly. Dont blame a bunch of other mentally insecure bullies. We will see plenty more of this it is the new breed in the USA

Senseless ! Women can be so insatiable.

Since this wasn't the first time for suicide attempt, why are people saying that they feel for her family. Obviously the family didn't feel close enough to intervene, and she didn't feel close enough to them to reach out. Let's not forget, some people that commit this act was an arrogance ASSHOLE anyway. we don't know, she might have been a spoiled brat most of her young privileged life and her family knew this. A hard pill to swallow, but there are people in most of our families that consistently make one feel that life is less stressful when they are DONE. I don't like suicide, and I wish she had not done this, but I don't like spoiled ASSHOLE's neither (if she was indeed one). I wish we had more to go on. So many can stir clear of such.

Hey, Teenie Fur, can I be your friend?

I JUST FOUND AN AWESOME POSTER TO THIS BOARD

Celeste Kersee Morris

You maam are totally and completely AWESOME and I bet your friends are truly blessed to have you in their lives. Some spirits are so bright that they can be seen through words on a computer screen.

expression tells who we are.

cudos to you.

Victoria,
I see nothing wrong with your comment. . . other than "bullies" did not do this she did. Bullies are mean and cruel but someone who takes their own life because of bullies is unstable to begin with. It's clear a lot more was going on with that woman.
She was not stable. Sad that her family and friends did not see it so they could have helped before this happened.

I used to work in law and absolutely had to leave the field. The women are VICIOUS!!!!!!!! Women in general are vicious when you put them in an office setting, though. I only lasted 3 years in an office and after seeing several of my co-workers breakdown in tears because of the group of "mean girls" (no joke, here we were, college educated, career-minded adults in our 20's and a group of them STILL bragged out they were the 'mean girls') would prey on them, I decided enough was enough. The supervisors ate it up -- they were probably losers in high-school who felt siding with the former popular girls 20 years their junior could make up for it.

And the note...Here is a tip for people trying to commit suicide...Life is fragile, so don't waste it or make it end fast. NEVER try to end A life or YOUR life halfway...so sad.

Bully = bad I get that but where are the coping skills? Did her parents give her such a sheltered life she is unable to cope with bad behaior dealt her way? Today's over sensitive world cannot handle any negativity. If verbal bullying is cast upon me I laugh and move on. Eventually I get the last laugh by out working, out hustling and out thinking my adasaries. If choose the cowardly way out and jump off a bridge bully wins! I will not give them the satisfaction.

She has her whole life ahead of her! It is sad and makes me angry...I have been bullied my whole life, I am now 43yrs old. It does change who you are inside and who you become.

Everyone has beauty within them that they would like to share with others but sometimes obstacles get in the way and prevent that from happening and a spiral begins. This should serve as a lesson to others that may be going through similar experiences in life. Do your best to try and find friends who want true friendship above all. Dont get so caught up with a persons looks because as we all know looks do not last forever, but a good heart does! If you have to fight with friends in order to maintain that friendship, then that is not worth the effort at all and they never were your friend. I believe Ashley had a good heart but made bad choices when it came to friends. RIP Ashley.

It is sad that someone can let someone else bring them to the point that they feel their lives are not worth living. Bullies have no self esteem and often later in life they don't even realize the permanent damage they have done to another person, both mentally and physically. I honestly believe in Kindergarden self esteem should be one of the main things taught. My son was bullied, and I told him that I would never be angry at him if he turns around and punches someone in self defense...that NO one has the right to lay their hands on him. And that if someone puts him down, not to take it but to tell the person to go to hell, and that their petty opinions do not matter to him. I also had a nice talk with the mother of the bully who originally said to me, "Boys will be boys." I told her if she didn't straighten out her kid I would...that ti was that attitude that allowed her son to keep bullying my kid. I enrolled my son in Aikido, for self defense, and as soon as he stopped letting the kids push him around..they stopped. Bully's are COWARDS.... but the schools and parents need to teach their kids, not to take crap from ANYONE. Kids have to learn to be their own best cheerleaders, and teachers or anyone show sees this behavior should have a sensible way of stopping this before it gets to the point that kids commit suicide.

The article is not about bullies,it's about the tragic loss of a young woman, give her some respect.

She had much larger issues than a few girls who may or may not have picked on her. Bullying, as beauty, is often in the eye of the beholder.

Sorry to sound insensitive but at 22 years old, one can sue for harrassment not jump from a bridge. She must have been mentally unstable all the long.

**If a person can overcome his or her "bullies" by age 9 or 10,,( we've all been there)..then the rest is just history! How does one do this you may ask? By simply standing up to them! Which is something your parents can't do for you. But once "they" see that you're no "punk" they will back down. sometimes you have to 'hit',(yes it's the truth) one of them in the mouth,,.. But standin up for your self at a young age is the foundation for doing so in the future. Plus after you do it you'll feel better also. (honest). peace-

Yes there are alot of mean people who say mean things,but,I, think people today are weak and take things to heart so much more then when I, was growing up. I, can not believe people would kill themselves over being bullied. I, was bullied in school but I,stood up for myself right off the bat. As an adult you, think she could have handled it.
Like I, said this generation is weak they need to toughen up and not put up with these bullies,ether put them in their place,continue to ignore them and do your,own thing,or get a restraining order. If you need to work with them let them know your sick of their childish behavior and to stay away from you,if they do not listen go to their bosses. If nothing works then find a better job and you will be better off without them don't kill yourself that is only giving in to what they want.

what we see on the outside--beauty, bright smile, seemingly everything to live for, is not always what a person FEELS on the inside. We put so put emphasis on beauty, success, "doing it all". We need to just slow down and realize what is important. Media plays a big role in the way people, esp young women see as success. I hope God forgives us.

That Shawn Guy.. although I dont' know what he said because it was deleted but by all the comments it must of bed terrble.. Although it seems that Shawn guy has somehow managed to gain all your attention.

Is it me, or does she look 10+ years older than 22. Still a nice looking lady.

Katy McDowell Shame on You. You are the sick jerk. say something in sympathy of the tormented girl. You definitely play a big role in tormenting girls and causing them to jump of the bridges. Now shut the hell up. We do not want ggo hear any thing more from you.

I could be wrong, but it seems this girl could have had a Personality Disorder, perhaps Borderline Personality Disorder(BPD). This is a serious affliction that millions are affected by, but generally don't know it. Suicidal threats are just one aspect of this. Victim mentality is another aspect. From what I read she was blaming others for things and felt persecuted and wronged by others. Its a shame it came to this, but the Kennedy wife that recently killed herself also had traits like this. Marilyn Monroe and Princess Di too. People that you have to walk on eggshells around are potentially dealing with this. Read up. Become familiar and urge them to get some help. They will likely blame you and resent you for saying anything, but who's the better friend? the one who says something or the ones who lets this freight train run its course.? My condolences to the family.

Yes, women can be unnecessarily cruel to other women. It's unfortunate so many take their lives at this young age. They cannot foresee that things will get better over time, as they do, and people mature. So much of life to live .... I can see those with terminal illnesses wanting to end their lives, but healthy 22 year olds. My prayers are with her family.

Curious about how the author of the web article came to phrase "bullied by friends in the fashion industry"? Oxymoron???? Where I come from friends don't bully.

The thought the devil made me do it comes to my mind. It is truly sad that Ashley did not have the coping skills to handle the obstacles in her life whether they were perceived or real. Also sad if she either did not have the proper diagnosis/medication for what likely was some type of mental illness she was suffering. Our family is personally dealing with finding the right medication and counseling for our daughter to deal with her depression which has led to self-hurt issues among other manifestations of the depression. I have always taught my children that someone else does not make you mad or make you do something it is a choice we make when confronted with a person or persons whom may say or is perceived to say mean things to us. Even if it is their intention to be mean you only give that person more control over you if you give in to that anger or respond to their antagonistic behavior. We in general do our society a great dis-services when we tell people that it someone else’s fault, when in fact we should tell people they have control on how they respond to others and empower them.

Another issue that is more common with women than men that I see it all the time is women will put up with abuse from their friends. I did it too. I was put down, made fun of and taken advantage of. I finally had enough but the reason I didn't do it sooner was I was afraid to be alone. How many women tell you that they are too embarrassed to eat alone or fill in the blank alone? Often times it isn't just one friend that you lose, it can be all of your "friends" that will turn their back on you because you have become the outsider or they want to avoid "drama". So they pick one over the other. It is just sad that rather than stand up to her friends and unfriend them, she felt that she needed to go as far as kill herself to make it end. There are many people in the world and not everyone is catty and gossiping.

Yes,a tragedy.Some people fall apart when kicked.Others break the foot that kicked them.Her life is no less precious because it shattered like spun glass.Spun glass is quite beautiful.

I am so sorry for this beautiful young woman that has lost her life, and leave her family to grieve this tragic loss. We must stand against bullying. No one has a right to bring another to a break point like this.

Our government must establish laws against bullies direct or indirect. Bullies are criminals and need to start paying for causing so much hurt to people.

Ashley, may your beautiful gentle soul rest in peace. May the Lord console your family.

...been there, no what she was going thru. The only thing i'd like to share with her family and friends is that, know that she is in a happy place; I once did something similuar and upon doing so went flat line for quite sometime. Theres nothing need be worried about, I know I am not. The only difficulties being with family and friends, just know she is happy!!!!!

This story is so tragic, I feel sad that this young lady felt she had no other alternative than to end her life. If she could have only seen that she was a target mostly likely due to the fears and jealousy's the other girls felt towards her. She was obviously beautiful, talented and an aspiring professional. She was probably highly sensitive individual, taking outside opinions and influences personally. People can be mean, heartless and inhumane. People should be commended for shooting for the stars, not threatened by their own glory. My prayers and well wishes go out to her and her family.

This is a major tragedy but like so many who have bullied she did not have the necessary skills to deal with life. I am terrified that this will onlyy get worse with the way the world is today. Most parents are only able to spend a short amount of time with their children because they have to work to make sure that their basic needs are met. Kids spend more time in school than with their families and what you are taught in most schools is that you are a great person (while true for everyone), you get praised pretty much for just showing up and a whole lot of other things that are worthless against the harsh realities of real life. I not saying that bullies should not be punished but more has to be done to treat the mental damage caused (by both the victim and the bully). In a lot of cases bullies are reacting being bullied. It is a vicious circle and the only way to fix it is to break the circle.
I am just an obsever and not in any way an expert but it seems to me at least, that something has to be done or we will be seeing much more of these senseless acts (Suicide, Self Mutilation, Bullying and Murder).

one thing that has been forgotten in our schools, is how to handle a bully. how to mentally and physically toughen up, i am talking, but i too am lacking in the skills to handle a bully.

people in general need to learn how to handle bullys, i am no exception.

if we could learn how to handle bullys, this wouldn't happen as often, please post positive solutions as to books, websites, classes or anything that would be helpful. my condolinces to family and friends of this young woman.

Bullies always get what they deserve in the end. Look at Lance Armstrong for example. HE IS NO LONGER THE TOP DOG. and before he's done he is going to lose it all and deservingly so! Lets all pray for Ashley, rest her soul!
Jake

Although this is always tragic when someone takes their life but this young woman was 22yrs old, not a teenager or child. It seems she was quite fragile if she had tried this before. Also maybe she was depressed. Health professionals have said that depression will precede suicide. Everyone who is bullied does not commit suicide.

I feel bullied by you.... IF i kill my self atm, should they charge you? becasue i said YOUR A BULLY someone had there life DESTROYED because someone else "couldnt take it". They do this crap in Japan all the time when someone misses a deadline at there work they go to suicide forest and kill them selfs. Should we charge the company for that? These people need to get a grip. Shizzzz happens get over it and go on. I hate to see she killed her self but if ....BULLYING is the worst thing going on in her life ...she had it pretty good . I.E her nice job and nice things she owned says it all most people getting "bullied" don't even have that going for them.

jezzie,jezzie,jezzie,
It is obvious that the the woman had more issues than bulling. She may have been clinically depressed, and was not getting the physicological help she needed. There is more to this story that hasn;t come out. It said that she has tried to kill herself before, It could have been drug induced, there are so many reasons...She was obviously very attractive, but in her mind she was someone else....than you see.
LIFE CAN BE OVERWHELMING , and some people are not mentally prepared for it..
I feel very sad for her family and friends..They will miss her forever...

how could they live with them self

charge them for what? what they do deserve is to have their names out for the world to see and for them to live their lives caring that guilt with them.

Doesn't everybody "have their whole life ahead of them". You hear this statement every time a young person dies. Sort of lame.

Same liberal argument made about guns. Bullies and guns have always been around. When will the libs acknowledge personal responsibility. AHH!! there in lies the rub. with personal responsibility come individualism and from individualism comes freedom.

Jim, you sound like an idiot. Take your blinders off, or see a doctor for your tunnel vision or something

there was WAY more going on in her life than just the "bullying" .. it can't all be blamed on whomever she felt was bothering her. There is far more to this story than any of us know .. so for now, let's not start a witch hunt. She was a designer, in New York .. that's a VERY competitive field to be in .. she might have mistaken aggressiveness to succeed as bullying .. I hope we get the rest of the story later.

I hope so too but usually it is force and shame that changes wrong behavior.

Now that force should not have to come from the TARGET.

TARGETS should not have to get in the mud and down and dirty themselves to show A BULLY SOME PUSH BACK. The only push back needed should be to keep your kindness and have structures in tact within the world to deter and seriously without refrain prevent sadistic deviant behavior detrimental to health and civility.

WE ARE SUPPOSED TO LIVE IN A CIVIL WORLD WITH BOUNDARIES CREATED BY LAW TO DICTATE WHAT IS CONSIDERED CIVIL. IT IS A MATTER OF CIVIL RIGHTS AND A PATH TOWARD A FUNCTIONING SOCIETY. THIS IS WAY MURDER IS ILLEGAL. COERCION IS ILLEGAL AND MORE.
WE KNOW THAT LEGISLATION FOR OUR CIVIL SOCIETY IS ALWAYS GROWING WITH THE -----NEED----. WE HAVE NOW A NEED FOR BOUNDARIES DUE TO INCIVILITY THROUGH BULLYING AT WORK.....AT SCHOOL. WE CANT WALK AWAY AT WORK. WE CANT WALK AWAY AT SCHOOL WE HAVE TO BE ALLOWED TO GO AND FEEL FREE TO BLOSSOM. ARGUING AND FIGHTING THE BULLY THROUGH RETURNED AGGRESSION DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK AND IF WE DO SOME RESEARCH WE FIND THAT THE PUSH BACK ONLY INCREASES BULLYING IF ----LEADERSHIP DOES NOT GET INVOLVED AND SET THE STANDARD NO BUTS OR IFS--.

IT IS A FOLLY TO THINK THAT FIGHTING FIRE FROM SATAN WITH FIRE FROM HEAVEN WILL WORK. WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO CALL THE ---FIRE DEPT---AND ALLOW THEM TO DO THEIR JOBS.

theresa petersen:

So is that a legitimate competitive tactic for competitors in a competitive field? To psychologically and emotionally terrorize their competitors into having a breakdown? Does this happen in professional sports? This woman was driven to suicide by this "competition."

Beware of the career that you choose. Sociopathic personalities are attracted to glamorous, high-paying, high-status, self-aggrandizing careers. Sometimes the weak sharks get eaten by the strong sharks.

The sad part is that the five women she banned from her funeral are not going to care, and will completely forget about her in a few months. They're relieved that some of the competition is gone.

OMG THAT HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST IDIOTIC STATEMENT YET. I AM SO TIRED OF THESE DRAMA QUEENS THAT GET BULLIED SUCH AS MISS FASHIONISTA, SUICIDE IS THE SINGLE MOST SELFISH ACT EVER! SHE HAD THIS PLANNED OUT. 1. TYPED UP A SUICIDE DIARY.
2. NAMED HER BULLIES BANNING THEM FROM HER FUNERAL. (HERE CRYING OUT FOR TEA AND SYMPATHY, DRAMA QUEEN.)
3. SHE WAS RAISED IN NJ IN AN AFFLUENT FAMILY. SOUNDS LIKE A POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL. THREATEN TO KILL HERSELF IF SHE DON'T GET HER WAY.
4. MISS FASHIONISTA JUMPS TO HER DEATH ON NJ SIDE OF THE GWB NOT CARING ABOUT HER PARENTS. NOW EVERYTIME THEY CROSS ON NJ THEY WILL GO THROUGH THEIR OWN PERSONAL HADES.
5. HERES A GOOD ONE. SHE DECIDES TO RUIN MORE PEOPLES LIVES. SHE DECIDES TO JUMP A BEGINNING OF RUSH HOUR. DID SHE EVEN CARE WHAT IT WOULD DO TO A FAMILY, A BUS FULL OF KIDS OR INDIVIDUALS AS SHE EITHER LANDED ON THEM, IN FRONT OF THEM THEY RUN HER OVER OR JUST WATCH HER AS HER BODY SMASHES HORRIFICALLY BY THEM. DID SHE EVER EVEN CARE.
I WILL NEVER FEEL SORRY FOR HER.
BUT MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO HER PARENTS, REAL FRIENDS, FAMILY AND THOSE THAT WITNESSED HER SELFISH HORRIFIC ACT. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
YES I SUFFERED FROM TERRIBLE BULLYING, I NEVER CONSIDER KILLING MYSELF. I AM BEDRIDDEN SUFFER FROM INTENSE PAIN. I WANT TO LIVE. TTFN

yeah, why would someone lie about this kind of stuff?

Are you crazy or just to stupid to admit that these things happen all the time. You must have been a person that bullied, or you would not find it so hard to believe that bulling someone can chanetheir whole like, if not terminate it as well. If you are not stupid or crazy , you should educate yourself to the behavior of bullies, its effect on people, and how a bully can destroy someones world. PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF To BULLING, and everyone else around you that leads a very shallow life?

Karina calling people names is bullying. Counter productive.

Wow Karina .... I'd peg YOU as the bully. Just because someone doesn't know something, it doesn't mean it's ok for you to call them stupid. I think YOU should educate YOURSELF and then live accordingly.

Yes, so only ugly people should commit suicide - your reasoning is twisted.

I sometimes wish that these young people would and could just look 5 years ahead in their lives. Too see, that all problems, that feel so life consuming, would look like something so silly, once you are out of that moment.
This generation of teen's to twenty~something's. Have such a "Right Now" mentality. instant gratification. With Face book, Instant gram, My Space. It would appear that there is not enough social skills, everyone wants to "catch" up.. but not in person, what happen to going to the mall? having a good olde fashion bonfire, if there was a problem, you talked it out right there, not splashed it all over the WORLD WIDE WEB... well. that is my rant.. My prayers go out to this family. and just an FYI.. the girls that were mentioned, not to go to her funeral. THEY need to really think about their words. life is so precious..

Looks have nothing to do with inner turmoil and emotional pain.

Oh, Fort Lee Truth, that is a ridiculous statement. So in your brain, only ugly people should commit suicide BECAUSE they won't have BOYS chasing them around. The pretty girls, worthing of screwing, get to LIVE (?!?!?!)

It was not about beauty. This girl had a lot going on the inside.

She was hot.It's too bad no guy could protect her from the madness around and within.

How is "bullying" a crime? It's not against the law to tell someone I don't like them, or to post it on Twitter, or whatever. And it never will be.

J N,
Bullying is not a crime just a deplorable and inhumane behavior. However, if it leads to something like this where a person loses all hope and in despair ends their life, then yes, it is a crime of the soul...and what kind of person are you that you need to post something hateful or mean about someone else on Twitter?

IF you "don't like someone" then be mature enough to tell them in person and wise enough to say "why," as opposed to leaving mean messages on a public forum.
Apprently, you are all too familiar with the behavior of a bully.

That is only because it is not frowned upon to the extent that it is unacceptable deviant behavior yet. We have to step up our society to meet these new threats. This is why legislation has to catch up. Otherwise shootings and mental devastation will continue.

WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS MADE OF A CENTRAL CONTROL SYSTEM THAT IS OUR EMOTIONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL/MENTAL SYSTEM. CONSTANT ATTACKS AND FIGHT OR FLIGHT WILL CAUSE AN EROSION TO OUR CENTRAL SYSTEM AND THUS EVEN THEN ON TO OUR BODIES DUE TO STRESS. WHEN YOU ARE ---TARGETED-- FOR BULLYING AT WORK OR SCHOOL IT IS NOT A SITUATION WHERE YOU CAN JUST GO HAM AND THAT WILL END IT.

GOING HAM IS DETRIMENTAL TO YOUR OWN COUTH AND LIFE DUE TO CONSEQUENCES. WE HAVE TO SHOW BULLIES BY MATTER OF CIVIL LAW THAT IF YOU TARGET SOMEONE WITH DEVIANT BEHAVIORS OF BULLYING...WHATEVER IT MAY BE THAT CROSSES LINES AND PURSUES ANOTHER PERSON'S BOUNDARIES....THERE WILL BE RECOURSE---FIRING IMMEDIATELY BY LAW! OR KICKED OUT OF SCHOOL.

some people take that kind of stuff very hard. you should respect the dead.

You are sicker than the bullies, what a jerk to laugh at someones tragedy, she was probably a kind and sensitive person not weak minded.

Bitter and a bully! No heart! You haven't a clue of what these womaen did to her to be so disrespectful. Maybe you were bullied cause you are self centered and heartless

God Bless you Ben. By your respone one would thin that you are very young. I hope you continue down the path of life that feeds you only green grass. However I am 60 years old, never felt like life treated me bad or wanted to terminate my life. I would say I am one of the more fortune ones. I came from a very modest background. If I had not had the family support system I had, It might have been a whole diffeent Ball game. No one is un touchable. Im am glad you have not had that experiance todate, but just remember, things change, life changes, and you very well might be some day. Its not a sign of weakness. May you always be blessed in your perfect life. Karma is a bitch however.

Bob learn how to spell and punctuate before you criticize someone else for their short comings.Makes you look a little like a fcukin idiot. But that may actually be the case.

What a jerk. Are you in a gang with bushway?

Bob, suggest you get back to those ESL classes.

frg1092 I too had a bully in HS in the 50's that made my life miserable and I got through it but I thought shooting the basterd back then.. I would love to run into the sucker at some reunion now.

I keep hearing that she was a weak person...maybe not that she was weak, but perhaps, she was just very sensitive. So sensitive, that for the ordinary person, bullying would be "hell', but for a sensitive soul, she just couldn't take it anymore. It's very sad, because she leaves behind friends, and family that can never fully recover from their grief.

Bob- Perhaps you should go to http://www.workplacebullying.org/ and really learn about what "workplace bullying" is about. Try putting up with 13 years of sexual harassment, a hostile work environment, and bully managers and then see how that feels. It was so bad we had coworkers killing themselves..and this was in the Federal Government. Bullying causes cases of PTSD, chronic depression, etc. Its not as simple as one might think. You haven't experienced bullying until it happens to you at work!!!

There's a lot of people who go through bullying, some are stronger than others, but that doesn't mean we should have less respect for the ones who are weaker. She had a lot going for her, clearly those girls and other factors we are unknown too took a toll on her. Its tragic that this occured and for you and a few others to be so cold and cruel of this happening just tells me and the rest of the world that you probably grew up with no one giving a crap about you, or else you'd have more consideration and sympathy for this poor girl. I don't know how you can sit there and say this crap like its some kind of process of elimination. Karma is a b*tch, don't be surprised if it catches up to you for thinking as you do.

BoB and JN Sounds like you became a bully yourself??? No one has the right to bully anyone, nor to "slander" anyone.....PS "Slander" is a crime. If you don't like someone that is your right to feel that way, but you don't have the right to destroy their lives or them emotionally. How old are you any way? My condolences to her family and may her wonderful accomplishments be honored. Anyone who is going through this please seek help....don't let these bullies who have minds and hearts the size of a mouse take you to this level. You are important in this world!!!

Blessing you with more strength to deal with negative impacting behaviors in your life. I believe that you are going to need a reserve. 'Lmao" is bullying in this case.
Bless you to come to light on these heavy heart issues, Mr. Bernquast.

Although I wouldn't put it so bluntly, I kind of agree with Bob Bernquast.
Suicide is nothing but cowardly, there are HUNDREDS of other options people can take to try and help themselves. This lady chose the worst. There are few reasons people should take their lives, bullying isn't one of them.

her parents r reading that whats wrong with u people ur mother raised u better than that

My parents taught me to speak the truth, not to hide behind lies and sugar coated excuses.
Suicide is a very serious matter, I've lost 2 family members and 2 friends to it, so I know exactly what people go through. When it happens you don't need someone sugar coating everything, making excuse after excuse, you need to be realistic and start asking the "real" questions. You'll go through the stage of thinking what you could have done to prevent this but then after a day, a week, a month or even years, you'll realise, you couldn't have done anything differently to stop it happening.
My condolences to her family, they are the ones that need everyone's support.

Maybe everyone isn't built the same but that doesn't make them weak.. it just says they couldn't handle the pain anymore. You don't even know this person yet you are quick to judge... just like a bully would do. I can't fathom what her family is going through and all I can say is I hope that Ashley has found peace because she wasn't able to find it here on earth. Too many lives cut short because of arrogant and hurtful people ...

Sole, mmm let me see, sole? It could be a shoe, or hey maybe a piece of fish? Perhaps you meant, "soul". When speaking of ones "inner being". Either way, so happy for you that you "survived" (and still are) being bullied. It certainly looks like you grabbed that puppy by the collar. Committing suicide is a tragic thing in the mind of the person who is experiencing it. Has a lot to do with self-esteem and NOTHING to do with weak mindedness, heart, or SOUL. It is pure hell for this person, and anyone who thinks they should just 'deal' with it doesn't have a clue on what is really happening. I feel so bad for this young lady. I feel sorry for her family and true friends. As far as the bullies. They are the ones who have no spine. They need to grow-up and learn what it is like to be human and kind. Enough said.

Yeah, I think the term bully is way overused. If someone disagrees with you and and shuts you down by their disagreeing with you - the world calls it bullying. Were they hitting her, pulling her hair, taking her lunch, I'm sick of attention seekers killing themselves and leaving "I was bullied" notes behind. I'm sorry for the girl and her family but she probably should have sought counseling for her depression.

Bob, dear, Is it fair to suggest that a person is weak when you don't know them or have any idea what they have gone through? I am glad you survived being bullied your whole life and are able to continue on even though you still endure bullying from time to time; however, it seems you have not survived unscathed. With all due respect, hasn't all you have been through left you a little jaded and hard-hearted, expecting everyone else to cope as "nicely" as you have? Try to be more compassionate for those who are not, for one reason or another, able to endure their pain.

BOB I TOTALLY AGREE

and totally clueless.

yea,youre an ass,and very disrespectful!

Bob,
It's no surprise that you're "22 years" as your comment was either immature and/or ignorant to the facts that many people have been hurt by others who bully. There's a whole lot more to it than someone just "being weak minded!"

Many people go through unimaginable trials and suffering behind closed doors - sometimes it is due to illness (physical or mental) or abuse, neglect, etc. and often the bullying is the last unbearable burden.

Just as bullying can cause dispair, kind and encouraging words can inspire and lift a person's spirit. If you really have been bullied and you survived it, I can't imagine how you could be so flippant about how others might feel from that behavior.

Hopefully, as you become older you will also become more mature (wiser), sensitive and compassionate - and this young woman's life might have been spared had the people around her demonstrated these simple but ever so significant humane traits.

yeah your comments made it clear how old you are

Folks, Bob may have ideas that are not in-line with yours but are you really going to teach him anything by calling him names or are you trying to "bully" him into being a more loving and kind human being. It doesn't work. Try sharing something with him that might touch his heart and mind. That might not work either but at least you will have done your best in a loving way rather than being unkind.

BOB TO ME I THINK THOMAS IS A BULLY, I AM 52, VERY SENSITIVE, I DO BELIEVE I AM FAR FROM IGNORANT. I LIVE WITH SPINAL MUSCULAR ATROPHY A FORM OF MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY STAGE 4. I SUFFER FROM CHRONIC PAIN, ANXIETY, PANIC ATTACKS, SEVERE HEADACHES, MUSCLE SPASMS, DIABETES, DYSLEXIA, ADHD, AND OCD. I HAVE COME CLOSE TO DEATH FEW TIMES IN 2011 I WAS IN HOSP 12 TIMES 7TIME ACCUTE UTI, 3 PANCREATITIS SEPTIC POISONING I WAS NEAR DEATH IN CCU FOR A WHILE, I HAVE NO MEMORY OF IT MUCH AND BLEEDING ULCER.
WITH THAT BEING SAID I NEVER WANTED TO DIE. I FEEL NO SYMPATHY FOR THOSE CRYING ABOUT BEING BULLIED. GET OVER IT PUT YOUR BIG GIRL PANTIES ON WALK TALL. GOD BLESS HER PARENTS AND THE POOR WITNESSES............... BTW I DIDN'T LIST MY MALADIES FOR SYMPATHY FAR FROM IT. I THANK GOD EVERYDAY FOR MANY BLESSINGS, BESIDES NOW I DON'T HAVE TO CLEAN THE TOILETS. GOD BLESS

i agree

Good point, but sadly a good meaningful friendship is hard to come by these days. Natrually we only have society to blame, for the downfall of true friendships & things alike, which in turn- we are society, therefore leaving only ourselves to blame. Its not a difficult equation to read, but as part of the problem how does one become part of the solution?

Holy Cow. All the people who died today for reasons out of there control and had know choice about it and ya'll won't to have a big crying session about some weak minded girl who killed herself because she could not handle 5 girls talking about her. Worry about something that matters.

I absolutely agree, It would be so wonderful if we woke up to life as it was about 30 years ago, but the young folks today would be completely lost. I t wasn't a perfect time, but it was a time where people come together for each other, you trusted everyone, no need to lock anything up, much more careing and respect back then. I am so sorry for this woman, so young and feeling like there was no other answer! what a sad shame! I send my prayers to her family. <3

Diana M,
Well stated!

Diana M L Breland - If you want your post's to have any real credibility. Know what you're saying before you post it and make a fool out of yourself! The phrase is " Cut The Muster". NOT MUSTARD

I'm afraid there is nothing new under the sun here. Some people like to rip other people up, and they think they feel better... I have never understood it. Duke Ellington had a line in his song, "Do Nothing Till You Hear from Me"; "Why people tear the seams of anyone's dreams, Is over my head." That says it all.

Jones,
Most of us know that looking "pretty" and having "younger guys chasing after us" has nothing to do with matters of the heart & spirit.

It was a silly remark made by a poster who obviously wasn't thinking too much into this very serious topic!

Same here...I didn't see the relevance.

YEAH TOO BAD SHE WASN'T FAT, OLD AND WORKING AT McDONALD'S

wow!!!! you must be a child yourself to write some dumb shit like that. People of all ages sex religion race etc. are bullied all over the world even elderly people in nursing homes. You musst have more than just mental issues you need a little bit more education

You, yourself, reflect the same shallow, superficial, lack of compassion, low- character typical of bullies. Thanks for submitting your demonstration of a curt, snide and sinister portrayal as such. Next.

Mean words and gestures hurt at any age. It's sad how negativity can manifest and bring people down, contributing to such tragic endings. Some careers are so competitive too. I agree that she probably had sensitivity issues, but it would be such a wonderful world if people treated others, the way they would like others to treat themselves.

What kind of dogs do you got? I here the small ones taste like chicken.

It takes more than a bully to make someone take their own life. It takes a sense of hopelessness. Plus, she was probably mentally ill.

As soon as their names are released they will casted out. No designer is going to want them on their payroll. We need laws to protect people for this evil.

the best of luck to your daughter. I worked in a man's field and received every sort of harrassment, but the worst was from other women. I don't get it, shouldn't we support each other. Looking back, I was not in a field that I loved, but I stubbornly stayed just to prove something. If your daughter is not doing what she loves, she should be aiming for something different. Every workplace will have these negative barnacles, but if you are doing work you love it won't be as big a deal. Give her a hug.

you need to teach your daughter about "sticks and stones" and instill a little more backbone in her and watch haw fast this bully nonsense goes away... otherwise your the cause of this!

depending on the bullying, charges will probably not happen. What a pity there are no charges for people who are rude, mean, belittling and destructive, but there it is.

I agree.....like to see this on "In Session". They will get the all the fame then from their wonderful treatment of another human life!

There was a case that was shown on "In Session" about a man that filmed his roommate and then showcased it....the poor fellow roommate committed suicide due to his actions. I am sure the culprit changed and thinks before his actions now and their is a college where the effects of bullying became a sad reality at the cost of a well mannered young man who was and still would have been a major asset to the world.

Says the person who cant spell out "thank you" lmao..thats laughing my ass off in case you didnt know

Hey Jacqui, an ellipsis has three (3) dots... But, then that's just the old "pot and kettle" thing. Better yet, you should have written ".... lamo: laughing my ass off (FYI). :p

A girl has committed suicide and all you can worry about is spell check.

Deep!

Didn't I see you on Jeopardy? What IS this world coming to that people are quoting Shakespear at 2 o'clock in the morning!!!!!!
I'll take Potent Potables for $2000. !!!!

How's the HEAT dow your mother's basement these days?

Really? I hope you never have a family member in some tragedy and have to read this kind of trash posted about it.

Bet you think you're funny....NOT!

Anybody with any sensitivity is frequently bullied. the bullies smell it on us. The trick is to use those experiences to make your life better. I bet you would never bully anyone, because you know how it feels. That is one advantage right off the bat. I am in my 50s and I am still working on this; about 40 more years and I should have a good handle on it. Don't hate them, they are rather pathetic. Eleanor Roosevelt said, "No one can make you feel small withour your permission." I have found this to be true.

Regarding the current rash of suicides,.....a friend of mine once commited suicide because of a rash!

Part 3 Cameron are you then also saying that in the past the Blacks, Christians, Jews and many countless were NOT in some form bullied. If so WOW ! I do agree with the fact that this is a sad thing to have happened and that the News, and others could have handled it ALL differently and I can see how you might be lead to feel the way you do, However they did not post what they were thinking and reasons why or why they all handled it the way they did, so be careful in judging with out knowing their thoughts, and reasons. Maybe in the matter of the rash of sucides and slayings we sould look at what causes them in order to fix it, fore one has no way of fixing something if they looked at it first.

Part 2 of So as I do agree that we as people need to be strong we also need an outlet we TRUST to release the neg. feelings- like friends , family, church , creativity, or other. And whether a person has this or not, bulling or telling a person something neg. about themselves by enough people whether those who started it or those who are just falling in due to fear of being bullied themselves. The constant negativity then has the opportunity to become a neg. afromation for the victim, and a form of munipulation for the bully or bullies, therefore causing harm to get satisfaction(sound familiar. TORTURE) I guess if I follow your comment then those who act, do, and say things to cause harm to others should not blame others either and instead blame their selves and correct this behavior. (not a common occurrence ) As far as bringing school

Part 1 of Cameron have you ever been in the military, than maybe you have heard of torture, and no matter how strong the person usually breaks. I guess in your mind the person should blame their selves for getting caught, and tortured. I realize that is a bit of an extreme example, However this is the point: Bulling has been here for 1000yrs I agree however that doesn't make it right to do period, I don't know how old you are and if you see how violence in society has increased, but I feel you need to not make light of it or its affects fore with the increasing violence the bulling is more intence and violent.

This is not a forum for "tolls". It's disrespect to her and her family to even make your "toll" comments.

Wow, Tonya Grow Up

Tonya why do you open your mouth like that. I was bullyed also And yes i did reach out for help i got putdown from work and home for months go to work and have your boss scream at you all day everything was wrong he said then i'd come home and the mother of my kids would say if i didn't do things her way i was shit & say go away and leave her and the kids she would say so many degrading things. I was pushed over the edge WHEN THANK GOD MY friend was home to answer the phone She came to my aid IF she was not home i would have killed my self. After talking with her i made up my mind not to let anyone push me over the edge any more. Not everone can do that EVERYONE is different

Some Bullies come from 2 / highly educated/self-interested/ egotistical/hypocritical/ prejudiced/ self absorbed/moronic robots who have NO compassion/ spoiled with a delusion that they are better and more worthy to live on this planet than others...I don't like the reference of SINGLE MOTHER HOMES being put in your reply as a negative reinforcer of your attitude against people who are less fortunate and must seek the aid of social services...Bullies are not just from the poor and downtrodden and FYI the service for Women and Children is WIC not wick, and you talk about getting a life...Resentment is another trait of a Bully.

Arlene, you are so right. I taught my girls to be independent of me and not dependent. They taught my grandkids the same. This makes them strong emotionally, grounded and high in self-worth. So when this bully comes along with his or her comments they take a stand and know low self esteem when they see it. My wife and I will help them crossing that rough patch as they go thru life but we will not carry them. I know a good person, a mother who pay their sons court ordered child support so they won't go to jail, she is the only one who works. Sorry a little off the subject here. I pray for this girl's soul. So sad.

You know what bully you have made several uncalled for comments. I'm sure you were the school bully and the school ashole. Your lack of respect is appalling and I hope her family would never read these comment. Also I hope you some day lose a very close family member to mental illness and suicide... because you can then see how it feels. On second thought I hope some day you feel that sense of hopelessness.

They get no satisfaction from their self absorbed emptiness. Hopelessness tries to set in, helpless is the shield of a coward and heartlessness is what they become and the only gratification they get is from putting themselves above others and trying to drain some kind of on-going life-force from them...Hitler/mentality.

It's sad but the bully will continue to live out the rest of his/her miserable life and never suspecting him/herself at fault...but you know what? He/she will get the gates of Heaven slammed in their faces. I believe it.

Sounds good to me.

sad but true.

I used to have that problem when I was younger--------now im getting older and ugly--lol

Amen Tara. People should stop giving this person his 15 minutes of fame for a clearly uneducated and inane comment. I will pray that he sees the error of his ways. I will also pray for the family.

beautifully said!

unfortunately, it IS the majority of beautiful people that have problems, or so said my psychologist

She should have made God her best friend! He is more than ready to listen to those that are hurting!

that is beautiful Glen, you're 'right on time'....God bless you, everyone:)

There are MANY people that should study the bible. God needs more attention than what he's getting nowdays!!

Carolina I agree with you and with Lynn. But i as a catholic see even them turning away from GOD they are the bigest hypocrites in the world and as far as Shawn Bushway & tonya m ricolems
gets the crown for being the bigest mentle case in the world GREAT JOB

The bible has to be picked up and read, appreciated,and comprehended and the spirit must contend and extract it's purpose to apply... if one expects a bully to do this, one must approach him/her head on with confrontation...but instead of confrontation, good people pray to God it stops, and short of Lightning bolts to end it, we pray on. My 3 sons play Xbox and PS3 games...they haven't and don't bully anyone...I taught them not to disrespect PEOPLE period. Games have nothing to do with personality unless it's the Mechanical Box that's teaching them more than the parent. Pull the plug and don't buy the games if you believe they have trouble distinguishing between FANTASY and REALITY. BULLIES have little interest in anything other than themselves, their needs, their wants, their dislikes, and they elude social realms, most of these games are oriented for "live" play and "open chat" and it isn't much different than the social networks for the older people, without having to text everything, besides bullies are easily recognized in a social gathering, they are the ones who stand around with NEGATIVE attitudes and try to cut on everything anyone else seems to enjoy because they can't enjoy anything including something as simple as reading a passage in the bible.

asshole

so true.....so true!!!!

And how's about Metta World Peace!

I've just figured out your problem.. You think you're funny but you don't know how.

Stop screaming at me at me. I think you are bullying me. Now if I could just find a bridge.

Amen well Said!!!!

Amen, God Bless!

i agree...im sitting here reading all these post of ppl and ther opinions which what does it even matter now? let the girl rest in peace

I agree hippy dave, it takes a tragedy like this to bring out the scum of the earth to make comments. Probably sitting in a chair in their underware eating cheeto's. Once a loser always a loser. But just because our fore fathers said it was all societies right that they say anything they want because of free speach, then any mindless, spinless, scum, parasite can get on this free forum and voice their opinion. You know the saying "everyone has an a_ _ hole and an opinion---and they both always stink"

Check mark to you...Its always good to read a correction. It tells us a lot about the pas`se reporting in journalism. You hit the nail on it's head with this Jane Doe. I agree and disagree with David Vick on the opinions part though, NOT EVERYONE'S OPINION stinks unless one is being an ass in relaying it..I heard the saying goes... opinions are like bu--holes...everyone has one, some of them stink." To each his own.

Ditto what you wrote John. The lack of compassion in our society and the know-it-alls who think they have all the answers is truly sad. Yes, RIP Ashley.

Practice what you preach in your last sentence and maybe you'll feel better about yourself!

Reading most of this" I'm so sad crap" makes me wonder if I could eat enough food to throw up as much as I want to.

Not always. My mother bullied me & I get bullied all the time, mostly by other women at dance classes (alot of kicking). I am an excellent dancer & women with low self esteem can't stand it. I remind them how accomplished I am & bullying me makes them feel better, even for a few minutes. Even the class teachers bully me, (say I'm doing the wrong step when they are), don't have it together & do all kinds of passive/aggressives (shorten the dance) to stop their own pain at watching me excel, very sad. Happens in every class.

It amazes me how the ones talking of 'weak minded' and 'natural selection' just so happen to be people with male names, thus I assume you are a man or a weirdo who chose to use a male name. There is a limit to everything and everyone and there are those that go too far in their bullying. At this moment you Evan are one of them that are doing the bullying. Someone could see your 'should jump off a bridge' comment and because of your negligence in posting it, you could cost someone to commit suicide. How would you feel then knowing that you caused someone to kill themselves? How would you feel having that guilt on your conscience?

Natural selection IS a beautiful thing...so what happened in your case?

Even as I have always been decent and experiencing the world from experience only, I was unaware of how prevalent SADISTIC BEHAVIOR is. Reading the bible I have come to get the full story and am understanding this origin.

THERE ARE SADISTS walking the world. They often or moms, fathers, granny's grandpas, police, teachers, principals, heads of colleges, doctors, lawyers, FASHION DESIGNERS...........AND POSTERS WHO COMMENT ON DISCUSSION BOARDS ONLINE.

It is 100% not about being WEAK. Often it is a situation of one with COUTH and one without....one with DIGNITY and one without, one with COMPASSION and one without, one with EMPATHY and one without, one with KINDNESS and one without......... ONE WITH SADISTICS AND ONE WITHOUT. It's usually clear to discern which is which.

All the good sh** vs just the sh**............NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH DA SH**....THAT IS A TERM OF ENDEARMENT FOR THOSE WITH ALL THE GOOD QUALITIES, NO- I'M TALKING JUST SH**.-EXCREMENT IS WHAT BULLIES ARE.

I don't believe that is true. BULLIES USUALLY TARGET POTENTIAL AND EXCELLENCE. IT IS BECAUSE OF INSECURITY AND A WANT TO DIMINISH THE LIGHT THAT THEY SEE IN ANOTHER.
Just like women. Most often the overweight poor fashion choice and near invisible (as far as eye catching or head turning) woman is allowed to daily and yearly until retirement work her job without a hint of being targeted. She's just "Mildred" and nobody bothers Mildred or even cares. They probably pay her no attention. BUT........

CONTINUED....

Enter "Stacy" (looks similar to our beloved fashionista Ms. Riggitano) and she is bright happy (with herself and thus others) eager to succeed, doing her best, polite, smiley...just a ray of light mostly because she's happy with herself and is respectful of others. People notice her she has an ora and a talent for beauty in material things (which we all notice), just BOTH- INNER AND OUTER BEAUTY.

Here comes MAUD. Maud is not attractive and has none of the qualities of Stacy and she is pissed at Stacy about it. She is a pillar of destruction and she creates a climate of negativity.........next...

CONTINUED....

Enter "Sheila"...Sheila's kinda cute....Not as cute as Stacy. Her fashion aint bad, her outer isn't so bad......she's just not...."Stacy"....and SHE HERSELF KNOWS IT. She does not have that light and is not beautiful on the inside. IN FACT IT'S LOOKIN LIKE BAGDAD INSIDE HER SPIRIT, AND MOST ALL KNOW IT
BOTH "MAUD" AND "SHEILA" WILL MAKE "STACY" PAY FOR BEING WHO SHE IS-ALL THEY ARE NOT!
SHE WILL MAKE STACY'S LIFE MISERABLE AND STACY WILL----REFRAIN---FROM GOIN HAM ON "MAUD" OR "SHEILA"...."STACY" JUST WANTS TO LIVE A POSITIVE AND HAPPY LIFE BEING LADY-LIKE. SHE PROBABLY LOVES THE VIRTUES OF A WOMAN AND DOES NOT COVET NEGATIVITY.

CAN SHE JUST LIVE????
APPARENTLY NOT.. UNTIL LAWMAKERS FOR WORKPLACE SAFETY AND SCHOOL LEADERSHIP CATCH UP TO THE EPIDEMIC SADISTS GOING ON IN SOCIETY AND MAKE IT SO WE CAN JUST FREAKIN LIVE.

NewYork...

You are a favorite for me as well as Celeste Kersee Morris on here. Sounds like a well developed human being.

How can we clone you? We need about oh..........a million more of you without such stark personality, spirit and soul defects. Some of these flesh and bones walking around here are defective and need to be shipped back to the factory where they were build. They are missing souls, spirits and all of the stuff that completes the package.

I love you NewYork- She was probably just shocked at the sadistics of beings and likely the willingness of bystanders to do nothing in what should be a civil society.

Carlos your the only one that has said anything intelligent so far.

Right on, Carlos. I have not read of anyone who committed suicide "due to bullying" that did not have major "issues" other than the crass comments etc. made by others. There are usually self esteem issues that were present way before the bullying starts and oftentimes set one up for the bullying. Many turn to drug/alcohol addiction; many get into trouble with the law. A few commit suicide...Note that I said "set one up", not CAUSE the bullying anymore than the bullying actually causes the suicide.
Condolences to the family and friends.

I KNOW....

LIKE Celeste Kersee Morris SAID (MY FAVORITE POST HERE) THOSE OF US WHO HAVE THE ENTIRE HUMAN PACKAGE, COMPLETE WITH SOULS, COMPASSION SPIRITS, COMMON SENSE UNDERSTANDING OF HUMANITY AND THE LIKE......WE NEED TO GET OUR "STICKS" OUT!

WHEN HER "STICK"...HOWEVER SHE USED IT, BIG OR SMALL, BY MAYBE REFRAINING AND TURNING A CHEEK- A LOOK OF RESISTANCE AT THE BULLY, A WORD OF DISAPPROVAL AND REQUEST FOR RESPECT, OR WHATEVER SHE USED TO ERECT BOUNDARIES THAT WE LIKELY FORCED THROUGH AND TRAMPLED......IF HER STICK DID NOT WORK.....WE....THOSE COMPLETE HUMAN BEINGS.... NEED TO BRING OURS.

He sounds like an asshole to me. He tried to make light and jokes.. Very inappropriate

You're a long-winded POS!!!!!!

Careful, saying anything remotely unkind these days makes you a bully (except these days its said and implied with a tone akin to 'Nazi'). And since I as the victim of bullying apparently have no personal responsibility to have a spine or a skin and am not encouraged to, it would be all on you if I killed myself out of cowardice not being able to harshness of the real world.

Good thing I was bullied through grade school, middle school, and high school and had a remotely difficult life that built some character into me. Good thing I have that bullying to thank for the balls I have.

Bullying isn't the problem. Bad parenting and sheltering of children from the harshness of the real world, and the oh so american 'everyone is a winner' sheltering where no ones feelings ever get hurt is the problem. Suck it up babies, you all fed into this problem by being over protective and trying to censor the world for the sake of someone maybe crying. People grow when they realize not everyone likes them, that their feelings aren't the most important thing in the world, that the world doesn't revolve around them. Just as an immune system gains strength from being bombarded with things to fight. Its no wonder she killed herself, she grew up in an age drowning in PC sheltering overkill, so financially well off that she never knew a single hardship in life. So pampered that some girlfriends catty comments made her want to kill herself. Boo hoo. Natural selection. Life goes on.

Wow, It must suck to be you!

Steve Jay,

Sounds like your enlightening should be right on schedule to occur soon. Often times it takes a really overwhelming tragedy for many flesh on bones beings to get what they lacked when they developed. It is a defect and is often corrected by tragedy.

A very strong scenario where you are overpowered by someone in some way. Nonsensically, your boundaries will be trampled consistently and repetitively in a significant way. A nice injustice. you will fight and be knocked back and then try and get up again and be knocked back down. You'll look around and think what in the hell is going on, this is insane......go away, you will say. Louder and louder and each time be knocked down.

However this scenario plays out, you will come to understand the intricacies of how being targeted harms your human psyche. For you it will have to be something serious. I hope that you never have to experience this, but I just think often that is what it takes for some to understand big and small how imposition on life and solace can damage a human beings zest for life.

Steve Jay,

Have you ever seen the movie THE GAME starring Micheal Douglas?
I think that is a wonderful fictional teaching of humility, civil rights, boundaries and the importance to human civilized life within our culture today.

You should probably start there to get an idea of what it looks like to have your life destroyed while you resist and take a stand. Bullying is akin to that.

Sounds to me like your "sick" on your own. A little compassion and respect is too much to ask of you. Also sounds like you may be jealous of her life since you consider her a "snotty diva brat". Finally, you obviously know nothing about mental illness or what her life was like...

OOOOooo ---Steve Jay,

I hear the angels singing. Your enlightenment is signed, sealed and on schedule to be delivered. Your lesson will have to be a big one. Tragedy usually corrects defects in those flesh and bones beings lacking the inner stuff to complete the package.

God Bless you throughout the trial that will make you complete, however near or far from today that it is scheduled to arrive.

Steve Jay you are definitely an angry man who must have been on the receiving end of bad behavior by a woman or women. Supporting someone emotionally is a good thing not bad. It doesn't matter what their financial status is because obviously wealthy people have feelings and need help too. You also come across as being a very cold and uncaring person. Cold and uncaring people have caused the problems that you mention exist in our world. Please do something about your attitude. Yoga, meditation.........you will feel much better about yourself.

Good for you Julie, very well said! Just wanted to let you know im sorry about the loss of your brother. My prayers are with you, you sound like a wonderful person and im sure your brother is looking down saying, YEP, THATS MY SISTER! <3

Agreed. One of the very few sane people in this comment section. THANK YOU. Do you live in edgewater by any chance? I get the feeling I know you haha

- SJ

Why don't you go for a swim in shark infested waters. Oh, don't forget to cut yourself before you jump into the water with the sharks.

Jack? "atomized individual"? "emotional resources"? No one who's ever committed suicide has ever been WITHOUT "emotional resources" given your definition. Even at 14 yrs old - teens "thus" have friends and family. Unfeeling as they may be - they're there. "Open your mouth"? Of course! Why didn't THEY think of this? Like Shawn Bushway - perhaps they were just SO WEAK they didn't want to burden those that afterwards are the one's saying: - "Why, she was such a quiet girl. We never thought she was having any difficulties." ~~ !?

"Internet"? Sure - PLENTY of chatrooms there that can assuage the loneliness and maudlin feelings a person has. And bullies? - "ruin their lives completely"? Sure! "Did you know your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/cousin/daughter/son/nephew/ neice was having illegal,..?? What? Where? When? How? Why? - with me? Ahuh. Did you know they're applying slander and libel to such folks to juries and being sent to jail who say and print such on the internet? All this while legislative bodies are deciding how to handle such things? Sure, that's it - JAIL! They'll find PLENTY of "Friends" there. Maybe even some "Family" - all while their bleakness takes a day or two off JUST so they can even entertain your well thoughtout plan to ruin their bullies life.

You are so right. People -- especially women -- need to stop feeling hurt and start getting angry. Like you say, the Internet is a powerful tool; people who use it to turn a situation around on the bullies will usually find the little snot cowards will go running with their tails between their jittery little legs. The solution is to not cave to whatever the assholes throw at you.

John You are so rite. And the ones that talk all the crap like Jack Smith & Shawn Bushway get the crown trophy for being the bigest NUT Jobs in the world (sick F###)
Always has to be the ones that have to talk crap like they know it all. GOOD JOB GUYS HOPE you sleep well

Are your initials LZ by any chance? You remind me of someone I miss dearly hahaha

who me?

No Lynn I was asking 'Ihatehumans'. Reminds me of someone I know, or knew...

he stated that the girl was weak and needed to be bullied

Yes, so only ugly people should commit suicide - your reasoning is twisted.

You all just harassed Shawn for a complete misunderstanding, and should apologize. Most or none of you won't anyway.

Who just came off as bullies? YOU ALL DID

Jack, you can't be serious about never being gainfully employed! Talk about a joke.

Then they will be on the taxpayer's dime for the rest of their lives! Come on. You can't be serious. There's enough people "living" off taxpayers and working the system! That system was put in place to help people get on their feet and be temporary support. Then somebody changed the rules and the smart got smarter so now you have generation after generation living that way. Get real man.

violence begets violence and as in Shawns case he needs to read the bible and study what a REAL man is

What a gentleman. A real find, Shawn is. Just a real addition to society.

Wow John .. what a complete TOOL you are. Would you say this to her parents?

It's not "sad," it's intolerable. If we keep saying how "sad" it is, repressing our righteous anger over it, then nothing will ever change.

WOW, Prince of Darkness----You have some serious mental issues. Ever thought about committing yourself for a 72 hour evaluation. Do us all a favor, make your lifes ambition to just keep your mouth shut. Your opinion is neither needed or required in a normal society. I really think that when your Mom dropped you on your head, she should have had dropped you a couple more times.

like i just mentioned emiliac love comes from within not from without
555 it's the bullys' fault that their a bully not their tormented past omg wtf yab u nigger hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Lyfe, that is an excellent statement. I completely agree. Be pissed at the bullies, not at the comments. I do not believe it is appropriate to have any snyde comments about the girl. Not the place to judge her or her actions. Facts are facts, but for her to say she was bullied is no reason to commit suicide in my opinion. Bigging issues going on there.

agreed hank but the beaters need to tell them why they're beating them and laugh when they do it but most imprtantly in front of an audience!!!

A lot of armchair psychiatrists here and a whole lot of improper CAPS. We will never know what was truly in her soul, it is just plain sad.

Apparently you arw still young....I agree to talk to family and friends but they will be one sided and not exactly helpful. The PROFESSIONAL will listen to all a person has to say, anything they have to say, without worrying about how it is said either. They will not be one sided and the person speaking to them doesn't have to worry about what they say and that the information will be exposed to anyone else. Doctor patient contract. It wil be a better relaxed atmosphere and the person can release everything without repercussion.

YOU CAN WALK PAST ME AND FART......THAT'S OK, IT STINKS BUT OK. YOU HOWEVER MAY NOT TAKE A BIG DUMP ON MY LIFE BY REPETITIVELY DEMEANING ME WITHIN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE I MUST COME DAILY TO EARN.

You are correct. Whether they pushed her with their words or their actions they are still to blame.

I agree that it is bullshit and if someone wants to kill them self's you cant stop them it sucks but it is reality

Untrue. Whomever she had on her "list", were only a part of what her real problems were. NOW look at what she has left behind, a tortured family, and a group of young women that will be chased by those of you on here with a MOB MENTALITY, to go after them. She knew what she was up to. Killed herself, and left a list of women for the world to HATE.

thats like saying the devil made me do it

.Part 2 of 3 to James Courville You see James ALL people who create NEW things and make the world in which we live in advance ARE DIFFERENT and if they listen to people like you we would be NO WHERE.... no fire-- no wheel---no computers--- It is people that believe (as you are saying you do )and bully people with the ability to be different that hinder the world from truly growing. It is truly ,love,strength and luck that we have all that we have today- love for what is that they do that makes them Different- strength to deal with negativity,and adversities- and luck that they can survive a world with negative jealous, Non creators, that are part of a norm society that think we should all be sheep with one leader, who says the leaders right. Is he the Smartest being in the Universe. No because with out different people we CAN NOT GROW as humans.

.Part 3 of 3 I understand James that deep down you might have a caring creative heart and that you don't wan't to admit ( you stuff your creativity) and that you are probably angry at the loss of yet another creative person and the fact that you were strong enough to survive your bulling and listened to the people that helped you through it.(to bad at a loss to you) You had true loved ones and friends you were lucky. However taking the stance you are taking should be thought about seriously. I mean what are you truly saying here? Because if I am wrong about you than what does that say about you. James if I am wrong about you then I feel sorry for you. Grow up.. and get real. P.S I think I would check my ancestry Courville is that any relation to the French sing and composer, or maybe the English Director of theatrical revues who turn to film making. What would you ancestors think.

Part 1 of 3 : James I would not want to live in your world, dull and colorless with no advancements, for if, as you put it "we need to stop telling people that is OK to be different" than where would be in this world with= NO Leonardo DaVinci, Picasso, Galileo, Einstein, Mozart, and Charles Babbage, Where if he lived in your world the device in which you used to post your post would NOT have been invented.

Sadly it usually comes from the top. That's how those a-holes get there anymore. I've had enough though and I think that mentality is spreading. Let the revolution Jefferson spoke of begin. I'm ready.

OK lets all get real here. Bullies have been around forever. I was a victim in the 60"s of the same crap and I stood up to it and fought back. Kids these days are SPOILED BABIES with smart phones , hand out money with no home chores, get what they want from parents who don"t want to hear a blah blah blah kid, get FANCY CARS when graduation time comes around ( over 80K ) and so on. I live on Long Island and North Jersey. MALL RAT BRATS ... I see it all the time. If you get picked on FIGHT BACK end of story or take the beating. PERIOD The SILVER SPOON does have a tarnished side.

so someone bully's you and you don't have enough sense to value your life more than that...something else was going...at 22 for Gods sake!
