Last month
a girl, Brandy Vela (see picture on the left) killed herself, putting a gun to her chest while her
family begged her not to. She was 18 years old and she had been relentlessly
bullied.
Brandy’s
sister says she had always been bullied for her weight. Brandy had to change
her phone number and had even reported the bullying to the police, but was told
they couldn’t help her. They couldn’t do anything because the suspects used an
app and it wasn’t traceable and they couldn’t do anything until something
happened.
Jackie said
she knew something was wrong when she got a text from Brandy on Tuesday saying
“I love you so much, please remember that, and I’m sorry for everything”.
Worried, she called her parents and grandparents. They rushed home to their
house in Texas City, where they found Brandy in her room with a gun. The family
pleaded with the teen not to pull the trigger. But Brandy had made up her mind.
