“The family is devastated, listing everything Kailia had ahead of her and her accomplishments during her 16 years, saying, “She won countless crowns & trophies after competing on the pageant circuit her entire life ... Her highly acclaimed talent as a contortionist had already led to professional touring job offers, and she had recently been selected to be a cheerleader at her high school next fall.”

Maybe she grew tired of being exploited? 🤪

Agree with you. Pushing a kid to be a Beauty Queen at such a young age sets up all kinds of self-hate mechanisms when she doesn’t succeed.

Youth suicide is absolutely at its peak. It doesn’t matter whether they’re successful or nerds or somewhere in between.

I think it’s because most of them do not believe in God, have no religious foundation, and are just emotional teenagers (disconnected and living only on-line after two years of insane isolation, thanks to the government) who take the permanent solution to a temporary problem because they don’t think they really matter in the universe.

So just pray for this poor girl. God knows all things and understands all things.

I never heard of or watched the show but read she was on the Dean’s list and wanted to be a pilot. It may be that mama dearest wanted her to continue being in cheerleading and contorting herself. Not allowing her to be who she was, which was a bright, intelligent young lady. Sad.

I wonder if she was molested, like a Disney kid.

What an evil thing to say without any direct knowledge.

One of my first thoughts. Tired of high expectations.

You’re very likely spot on with this comment.

Sadly, I have to agree. What part of just being a little girl did she get to experience? I so wish that she could have been stopped. May the God who created her fill all of her needs and hold her close in His arms.
