11-year-old Ohio girl who survived brain cancer kills herself over relentless bullying

I'll never understand why a victim would kill themselves and not the bully. I was bullied without mercy from age 7 to 16. Never once did I think of killing me. I got determined to kill them. Eventually I took some shots at my bully and barely missed him. Never saw him again and no one picked on me. Ever again.

:(

right, bullies pick up on those who dont fight back. YOu have to stand up against and they will stop.

Someone should have helped her at the damn school, and the parents should have paid more attention to her depression. I don't know why some children are born to have such short and difficult lives. I hope she is in a better place.

Everyone says high school is bad. I found Middle school to be much worse. Most teachers are scum as well. Lots of them are immature adults that play to the crowd approval of the students. I've seen lots of teachers turn a blind eye, and even join in on bullying to get student approval.

When Columbine happened. i didn't condone it, but I understood it.

Parent's are solely to blame on this one.

There is no excuse for suicide we have to do a better job teaching the word of god to our children and let them know what awaits them if they take their own life. If they thought the bullying was bad before wait till they get to the other side. Satan is the ultimate bully. Life is to precious to take the easy way out.

Fuck stories like these. I really hate them.

Trust me the parents weren't ideal. If the girl grabbed their gun and blew her head off, like described. If she was truly happy with her parents she would have made considerations for them. She hated them as much as the kids. Trust me.

OMFG. Kids can be unbelievable assholes. Middle schoolers are probably the worse.

CABLE, Ohio – The relentless bullying became too much to handle for an 11-year-old girl with a “crooked” smile, her mother said.

At 3 years old Bethany Thompson was diagnosed with a brain tumor and battled through radiation treatments. Though cancer-free since 2008, treatment caused nerve damage that changed Bethany’s smile. That, and her curly hair, led to bullying, said Bethany’s mother, Wendy Feucht.

Feucht said after a particularly tough Wednesday with bullies, Bethany told her best friend she couldn’t take it anymore, and was going to take her own life.

The Cable, Ohio, sixth grader killed herself that afternoon, October 19.

Her friend’s :father called Bethany’s mom, but it was too late. Bethany found one of the two guns kept in the house, and shot herself just minutes after getting home. Her stepfather was asleep in another room.

Feucht said Bethany would have had to go searching for a weapon, as she and her husband never told their children where they were and kept the guns out of sight.

“There’s a piece missing, I’ve had this constant in my life for 12 years and now it’s gone,” Feucht said. “Nothing’s going to be able to fill that hole.”
