We all need kindness. None of us need bullies.

A sad, unnecessary suicide

Excerpt: "In the days after her daughter’s death, Summer Bushman has found herself lingering inside the room where she last saw the fourth-grader. She sits in her daughter’s chair, runs her fingers along the hems of clothes, talks to the walls.

She tells her daughter in that empty space that she loves her. She tells her she misses her. But mostly, the mother said, she tells her: “I’m sorry I couldn’t save you.”

On the morning of March 21, as Summer Bushman, 36, was rousing her children for school, she noticed the light was on in 10-year-old Autumn’s room. When she knocked on the locked door, she said, there was no answer. She knocked again. Then again. Soon, she said, she began to panic.

She broke open the door.

Inside, she found her daughter unresponsive, dead from an apparent suicide.
