Amanda Diane Cummings was 15 years old when a witness saw her jumping in front of a bus at around 7:30 pm. The Staten Island Police found her with a suicide note. Keith, Amanda's uncle, said that she was being bullied at school and that they stole her phone and other belongings. Amanda was distraught because she was the target and victim of bullying at her school. Amanda asked someone to pick her up from school because she was afraid of being beat up. Amanda received an email from her boyfriend saying that he was breaking up with her the day before the accident occurred. Her uncle believed that the email was what pushed her over the edge. While Amanda lay injured in the hospital, Keith found out that her tormenters were posting cruel comments on her Facebook page. Keith plans to seek criminal redress against these bullies.I think that someone should put a stop to bullying because it has taken many lives. Those horrible people were tormenting that poor girl even when she was dying in the hospital. What kind of people do that?!

What i want to know is why don't bully victims ever go to an adult with these problems or at least a cop. that is one thing i never understand.
