Whenever I see something like this I get upset and smack my head at the same time. I know bullying is very hard on a girl her age but there are other options other than suicide. I wish she had nicer friends but I guess girls her age are just nasty people.
Is abusing someone supposed to be fun? What are your thoughts on this and what should happen to the bullies?

What's that? Another parent blaming social media after the fact, and The Flood lapping it up like good little sheeple? People that lead otherwise healthy lives don't kill themselves because of [INSERT ENTERTAINMENT MEDIUM HERE]. Parents want to blame it on something other than themselves, and what better target than something they don't understand? This is no different than when they blame school shootings on video games. Media outlets capitalize on these incidents because they create debates about solving bullying (ie something that can't be solved) so they can fill the space not already filled by pharmaceutical/oil industry ads. This is just like the Ask.fm thing last month.
