Many people were shocked on what had happened to her. Sadly, even after she died, people were still bullying her. A Facebook group page was made just to make fun of her even in death.

The bulliers continued to say that she deserved what happened to her, and made fun of her story. It was soon taken down for obvious reasons.

She has been a licensed practical nurse for twenty-eight years and a clinical director for thirteen years. Cathy has several reasons why she chose her career to be a licensed practical nurse. She says the main reason she chose to be a nurse is because one night at church a little boy had cut his arm and as she bandaged him up God called her to be a nurse.

Her favorite part of her job is to see someone who has been in pain, smile after being cared for.

We all have someone or maybe something that has been a big influence on us somehow in some way. For me this person is my best friend, partner in crime, and most of all she is my girlfriend. I was drawn to her because her potential and I could tell that she’d been through a lot. She had the look of someone vulnerable, and vulnerable she was. Erika looked as if she needed to tell someone the things that she went through and the things she overcame, that someone was going to be me.

The case of twelve year old Rebecca Sedwick, who leapt to her death is a prime example of what bullying leads to when there is not enough done to stop the bullying nor stiff enough penalties to make sure it is prevented from going this far. She was bullied relentlessly at school, on her phone, and through social media by two young girls. Her mother was left to bury her daughter out of her own pocket even though she took all the necessary steps to protect her daughter. With schools and social media becoming a breeding ground for vicious verbal and sometimes physical attacks, who is responsible for such antics that lead to many victims taking their own lives or having to relocate? With no clear cut on who is financially or criminally responsible, the victim’s family is often left to deal with the unexpected finances and no way of having any closure or piece of mind knowing the responsible party was held accountable. Interventions, financial restitution, and criminal charges should all be mandated if it is found that the school system or parents of the bully did little to nothing to stop the bullying.
