It is sad that a 12-year-old Las Vegas girl have taken her life after being tormented by bullies for months at her school

Flora Martinez was a sixth grader at Keller Middle School, and was bullied for about eight months and the parent requested for her transfer. But one day after her transfer out of Duane D. Keller middle school was denied she killed herself.

Her funeral was on Thursday, May 16.Her parents are blaming the Clark County School District for not doing enough to protect their daughter.

Pitiful girl, may she rest in peace. Being bullied is not a good thing, it distorts the thinking of the victim. Maybe she was a weak girl. When I was in elementary, my classmates, 4 of them bullied me. What I did, I stoned them. It was my dad who suggested to stone them. They no longer bullied me because I was always bringing big stones and placed them on my bag Those bullied should fight back.

There are a lot of people going though things like this, suffering each day, the things is no one hears their stories or even listen to them until it's too late. Let's say no to bullies.

Bullying can be very depressing for some people and if you don't handle it with care you can damage yourself

People ought to understand that not everyone has the same mental strength to withstand jibes. These are things we should consciously avoid when we see people are uncomfortable with it. But this can't happen in Africa though. An African kid can't commit suicide over this.
