BAYVILLE, New Jersey — The heartbroken boyfriend of bullied New Jersey teen Adriana Kuch can’t stop crying and re-watching an online video of the cruel attack that led to her suicide, his mom and Adriana’s dad told The Post on Friday.
Jason Lopez, 16, is haunted by the thought he might have been able to prevent Adriana, 14, from taking her own life after the humiliating beating she suffered at Central Regional High School in Berkeley Township, said a worried Wendy Lopez, 50.
“He’ll wake up in the middle of the night screaming and crying,” Lopez told The Post, adding he feels a devastating spiral of grief and guilt.
“[Adriana] called him the night before [her death] and he wished that he picked up the phone and he didn’t,” Lopez recounted.
“He called her back five minutes later and she never called back..That’s the last time [they spoke].,” she added.
The young lovebirds had been dating for nearly two months when Kuch was brutally bullied as the pair walked down a hallway on campus Feb. 1.
A video of the attack was later posted online, further tormenting the teen, and she took her own life two days later.
“[Jason] said to me that it would have been nice to grow up when me and his father did in the 80s and 90s, when you don’t have this extra online stuff to go along with being in high school,” Lopez told The Post.
“He just wished Adriana had told him more because she kinda kept it all to herself.”

But, none about her 16yo boyfriend who defended her.
He needs to stop watching, poor soul
Oh my. So horrible.
So sad for her parents and family and this young boy.
In the words from Red Dawn, “Let it turn to something else.”
That was no bullying, that was flat out felonious assault.
Very few videos can impact me but those where kids are beating on other kids makes my blood boil!....and the parents of those kids should also pay a price.
I said on the other thread that my blood hasn’t boiled like that in a long time. I am not the same person after seeing it.
In certain parts of Asia, not only is bullying rampant, the teachers engage in it and the parents excuse it.
It would be nice to grow up with adults who actually managed the behavior of children in school.
I went to a Catholic boys school with monks as administrators and a former WWII Marine as dean of students.
Bullying, foul language, fights, gossiping, theft, was dealt with swiftly. As incoming students, we were forced to learn the concept of Christian brotherhood - a conformity of mutual respect, demanded by school administration.
There were no cliques or factions. It was the best learning environment one could imagine.
BLM long term affect
This is the culture the leftists wanted. Now they have it.
That sounds like a great school.
Our schools are becoming hellholes...
The old nature can be held in control
We are told in Scripture to live at peace with each other as much as possible.
We don’t have to like it, but we can learn to treat others civilly.
It’s called growing up.
Someone needs to get help for Jason Lopez or we could have a second suicide.
Yes he does. It may be hard for his parents to refuse any of his requests or demands right now, but no good will come from him staying wound up with grief about this. This kid will probably benefit from some therapy, umless he has family members wise enough to guide him out of this dark space.
He is a victim in this case, too. The beating would’ve been worse, if not for him.
Usually when there has been a student death of any kind, but especially one that is emotionally traumatic for the other kids, the school shuts down for a day or two, and calls in grief counselors for when they return. That POS school administrator didn't do that for these kids. When a few of them went outside to protest, waving placards, they got suspended.
Glad that heartless 'terd administrator got forced to resign.
If I was a parent of that boy, I would be afraid to leave him out of my sight
