watch the clip again... it doesn't say it was high school sanctioned bullying, but by a group of girls. In this story, told by the victim, "those girls sent my email to everyone in school". Unfortunately, this type of bullying is very common among today's teenagers.

My mother wants me to talk to a councilor because she is suspects I'm depressed. Hmmm, Guessing that kinda explains why I'm so emotionless most of the time :/ To be honest I guessing the reason I'm like this is because of people these days...You give trust and most people spit on it and make you look like the bad guy/girl.

If she were bisexual or a lesbian, I would totally go out with her. She's so beautiful.

Those nasty girls should grow the hell up and make it up to her.

i literally want to hug her right now, i know exactly how shes feeling..

@LittleLulubee People who bully have serious confidence and self esteem issues. All of them have been abused in some form over the years, which makes them violent towards people. Some however, will have some undiagnosed mental illness of some kind.

Poor girl I want to give her a hug. No one deserves what those nasty girls did to her.

I've been hating myself lately. My appearance, my personality. I'm so stressed about everything. I used to be on top of my class in the advanced programs but I have no motivation to keep trying lately because I'm so depressed and angry at myself, & sometimes I get angry with my friends and aggressive with my siblings.I don't even like hanging out with them anymore. My mom keeps being mean to me because I'm so sad. I don't know what to do or how to handle it, I don't even feel like I'm living.
