Prayers for a stranger
Today we lost a 7th grade girl to suicide. I really do not know any details, but they are not important anyway. I do know it was caused by bullying. We lost a child, but it was a accident. I can't even image having one of my children commit suicide. She was a cute little girl, on the basketball team, had a lot of friends. Please say a prayer for our town and this family, that everyone makes it through this.

Prayers for a child
I am so sorry to hear that another child took her own life due to bullying. May God comfort her family, and provide strength to her friends and community as they cope through this most difficult time.

Thinking of you all. How sad and horrifying. I really want serious penalities for bullying, even for young kids, it's not okay.

So sad in Byron
The whole Byron 7th and 8th grade met today to discuss this tragic little girls story (we are the town next to Kasson). Having a 6th grader who has dealt with some bullying, my heart is breaking for her and her family. Shame on those kids who bullied her, they will have to live with this forever as well.

I was just informed by our school that a 9th grade girl committed suicide last night. It's a small school so everyone knows everyone. My daughter was a classmate with her.

This is so tragic! So needless! The ones left behind seem to always blame themselves for failing to "see it coming". I truly hope these children's parents can get past that and just grieve. If blame is to be leveled, it is surely on those who did the bullying. I'm praying that these suicides have an impact on those bullies so that they don't continue to behave that way. My heart goes out to the families, schoolmates, and towns of these poor children who felt there was but one way out of their pain. God rest them!
