We believe that bullies should be charged for provoking suicide among today's children of all ages. Although some people might say that it would be difficult to locate the bullies, it would be be easy to charge them because students and family members witness the bullying. Unfortunately, some do not hear or know about the bullying until it is too late. Additionally, some might say that the bullies did not directly kill the person, but their words and actions cause the suicide so it is similar to non-premeditated murder because it was unplanned. Please, if you know of anyone who is experiencing bullying or suicidal thoughts, take fifteen minutes out of your day to give them validation that they do matter and they are worth it.

If you would like to contact the National Suicide Hotline, the number is:

1 (800) 273-8255

Seeing this grow is exhausting but I am grateful to know so many people care about this injustice. We have reached a point where people are finally forced to pay attention to these deaths. I am sticking with this until we see real change.

I have been driven to the point where I thought suicide was my only hope. I believe that there should be charges placed for bullying. In my opinion it is a form in man slaughter because the victim would have been technically killed by the bully.

I've had close friends who's lost loved ones and friend's due to all types of bullying and even myself to the point where I felt like ending my life wouldn't affect anyone. It's time for us to take a stand! And stop bullying! Lives do matter

I so agree with this. Even if the bully causes them to harm themselves they should be charged
