While yes it's sad she ended up committing suicide I don't feel she was purely a victim in this scenario.
Her choices in life just made matters worse for herself. Flashing for attention is obviously a bad idea, but then she proceeds to allow people to insult her over Facebook instead of just outright deleting Facebook so it cuts people from cyberbullying her.
Then she takes it a step further and knowingly goes over to a guy's house who mentions his girlfriend is on vacation. What the hell did she think was going to happen. Obviously she knew they were going to hook up if she thought he liked her, but knowingly hooking up with a guy in a relationship is just stupid and obviously there were going to be consequences. Yes the guy is also a scumbag for cheating on his girlfriend and deserves some pomegranate thrown his way but that's not the point. The point is she made a stupid decision and was punished for it.
Of course it's horrible she got beaten up and abused for what she did but very rarely does anyone get away with pulling pomegranate like that. She is not a helpless victim, she was clearly a trainwreck who was causing a downward spiral for herself. It's very likely she didn't have a very good upbringing because of her actions. Most girls are taught by their parents to respect themselves and their bodies and it's usually the ones who had dysfunctional families who get into pomegranate like this.
Honestly I don't feel much sympathy for this story. If you want a helpless victim of bullying story go look up Jamey Rodemeyer among many others. He was bullied simply because of his sexual orientation and did absolutely nothing against anyone and yet was bullied until he couldn't take it any longer.
The media is portraying her like a poor sweet angel when in reality she was a slut who was the cause of her own problems.
I know it all sounds harsh but people need to look at these stories realistically instead of jumping on the sob story wagon. Nobody deserves to die the way she did but this should be used as a lesson to girls to practice some self-respect and dignity.
And for the record this is purely subjective and I know some people will still disagree.
