A 14-year-old Missouri girl reportedly killed herself after she was bullied by her middle school classmates, her parents said.
Destiny Gleason died last weekend, days after she had fought with other students at Black Hawk Middle School. She was taken away in handcuffs. After the fight, students bullied her on Facebook.
“She just wanted everybody to like her, that’s all she wanted,” her mother, Stephanie Clark, told FOX2 before she burst into tears. “Words matter. That old saying, ‘Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me?’ No, they will. They will. And we lost our daughter because of words.”
She had hung herself with an extension cord last weekend, reports said.
