There have been three child and teen suicides due to bullying since September of this year. Fifteen-year-old Felicia Garcia threw herself off of a train platform in Staten Island. Fifteen-year-old Amanda Todd made a video that silently told her story as she held up index cards, one by one, describing her desperation before she took her life. Ten-year-old Jasmine McClain hanged herself after being teased about her clothes and her shoes. All three girls described relentless bullying by students to friends and family. Amanda changed schools. Felicia ignored them and at times, stood up for herself. Jasmine left school for a period of time, returning only one month ago.
