Thank you so much for seeing what no one else sees! This girl took a picture and shouldn’t have, yes, but I totally agree that she suffered enough and that it’s terrible the way people throw all the blame her way. . . even after she has already taken her life! She was punished so severely by everyone and it never stopped. Shame on the school and the community and everyone involved! This poor girl was tortured for one mistake and it drove her to suicide! And if anyone at all can say that she deserved what she got then they need to take a step back and see just how much they’ve messed up in their lives, and also consider themselves lucky for not being tormented like this girl was. Great article and argument.
