This is horrible what adults did to a vulnerable young girl!

Obviously, mentally healthy children with intact self-esteems don’t commit suicide over such things, but it sounds like this poor girl had some problems already.

The article mentioned she was on medication - I guess for depression and attention-deficit disorder - doesn’t sound like the medication helped her. It’s sad, so many children are medicated these days.

I'd be surprised if she wasn't.

Read any tragic article about a teen -- either they did something or something was done to them. What do you find? They're on medication for something.

They haven’t disclosed the medicine she was taking or whether they were switching meds around to see what worked and didn’t work )or did they). Most come with lots of warnings.

Actually, most kids on Ritalin are also on anti-depressants. Go back and check, most kids who did school shootings were also on ADD and/or anti-depressants. However, people are warned that anti-depressants can cause suicide and are not recommended for children under age 18.
