Obituary of 15-year-old who killed self get bullying in her school
News24xx.com - The family of a 15-year-old Pennsylvania girl who hanged herself says in her obituary that she had a tough life made worse by school bullies.
Sadie Riggs' family posted her obituary on Facebook after she died Monday, June 20 2017.
They say she was in counseling and took medications for emotional issues complicated by bullying, much of it on social media.
Bedford Area Superintendent Allen Sell says that he can't comment on the specific situation but that policing social media bullying is difficult because schools don't have jurisdiction if it happens outside school hours. The district is offering counseling to students affected by Sadie's death.
Sadie's family tells the bullies: "Please know you were effective in making her feel worthless." They're asking people to "be kind to one another".
