Her death was the result of bullying and she committed suicide 5 days before her 13th birthday. She was a beautiful girl and she deserved much better than what she got.
Bullying is one of the leading causes of teen suicide, and it is linked to emotional health problems. In order to help prevent suicide, victims need support from their families and communities. They need to have simple access to mental health care and they need to be able to develop coping mechanisms that will help them overcome their pain.
