Brandy Vela, a beautiful 18 year old committed suicide in front of her family. She was a victim of bullying and cyberbulling. Cowards had driven her to the point of seeing no other way.
Cyberbullies hide behind fake accounts. They post mean words, hurtful opinions, degrading rumors, and outright lies against their victims. Their lives are bad, so they want to destroy someone. A relentless attack was started on Brandy by cowards who lacked the courage to tell her to her face. The reason for this is that they knew they were wrong.
Pray for Brandy, her family, and her friends. If you do not pray, please keep them in your positive thoughts. If you see bullying or know of it say something. Don't look the other way.
