Tori was constantly being bullied. Even though she thought she had friends she was unaware of how other students were using her. She had no clue on how do deal with the situation. After the conversation with this girl, Tory was devastated she couldn’t believe that the person she thought was her best friend did not even like her. That night Tori tied one end of a rope around her neck and the other around a bed post before jumping out her bedroom window.
