we finally did it and the new anti-bullying laws are officially happening. thank you for staying with me through all this because we really changed things for the better. stay tuned while we make sure these rules are actually enforced every single day.
Everyday, somewhere, a suicide occurs. Bullying is one of the leading causes of suicide. Too many teens have been bullied to the point where they hate themselves and their lives. This petition is honor of Amanda Cummings, a 15 year old girl from Staten Island. She was bullied most of her life, it got to be too much. She took her own life, leaving her family and friends with broken hearts. However, the bullies who tormented Amanda (even with evidence of what they did) were free to go because there are no laws against bullying in New York State and many other places as well. Tired of bullies getting away with murder? Sign this petition. Help us make a difference.

She was someone who changed my views on social media sites like Facebook and such. I refused to use any of them until I die because of what happen to her. She was someone I look up too. It has been three years and I will never ever forget. We might have not been best friends, but it doesnt mean that my own personal feelings will change. I went through school like her and when she passed it affected me emotionally and physically because she always was sweet to me and didnt deserve how she got treated. Only sad part is that I never had facebook to ever know what was happening to her. How can she post those words and people thought that she was "just being an teen". It goes to show that no matter how "over dramatic" you think a teen is, there will always be some truth to what is said.
