"Kids are DYING, and people are too afraid to be honest even in obituaries...Please use my son’s story. Please help me warn parents this is out there. Please, please, please. It’s all I can do now."
"To all the bullies out there, I just want you to know that as much as we despise your actions never, ever do we wish for you to feel the paralyzing pain that engulfs our bodies, a pain so severe that it makes the simple act of breathing difficult or the guilt that leaves us wondering what we could have done differently-or that struggle to remember the last words we spoke…Our hearts are beyond broken."
I was raising my own worst nightmare. Smack dab in the middle of my brood of five kids, was a charismatic, sassy, leggy, blonde, dance-y, athletic girl oozing confidence...
“The bully has pulled her hair, pushed her, smacked Lilly-Jo and also shut a locker door on Lilly-Jo's head, stamped on her foot when it was broken – the list is endless."
"So many people questioned, ‘Why didn’t anyone know?’ In reality, everyone knew. No one hid it." The school did NOTHING. The bullies' parents did NOTHING.
