Columbus, NC - Columbus County authorities are investigating the death of a 10-year-old girl who hanged herself Monday night after repeatedly being bullied at school. Samantha West said she found her daughter, Jasmine McClain, dead in her bedroom Monday night.
“I just lost it because she took her last breath in my arms,” West said Wednesday. “She was a loving child. I just don’t understand.” Chadbourn Police Chief Steven Shaw said her death was obviously suicide, and he was about to close the case when he started checking posts on Facebook and other social media about Jasmine and her death. “Children started coming forward and making accusations that she was bullied — and bullied bad — in school,” Shaw said. Jasmine was picked on at Chadbourne Elementary School, West said, noting other children teased her about her clothes or her shoes. She left the school for a while and dreaded having to return about a month ago, her mother said.” – 5 News

This is some of the most devastating news. I might want to choke someone if this were my kid.. Then again this wouldn’t be my kid, cause I wouldn’t send my kid to school in dirty shoes and old hand me down goodwill clothes. What I’m about to say is going to offend some people. But it’s the truth that needs to be stated.
1. This is why you should not have kids when you know right off the bat you can’t afford to spoil them. It is selfish.
2. YES, The kids are freaking mean. Heck some of us were mean lil kids and teased the poorer kids when we were younger. Hell, I was poor and still teased other kids.
3. If you are going to be a sorry azz parent and throw your kid on anything to go to school in at least have the decency to lie to her and tell her material things don’t count for anything and that those other kids had stupid parents because they wasted money on sending their kids to school looking nice so they could concentrate on their studies and not feel uncomfortable.
When I hear heartbreaking stories like this I often wonder if these parents forgot their own childhood or if their childhood was free of bullying. I can remember growing up is being teased in the neighborhood or at school if my clothes were not up to par.
My grandmother did not have a lot of money raising me and my siblings. We had payless shoes MOST TIME, but never once would they say PROWINGS all over them. Our shoes were always CLEAN and White. Black for my brother cause he would get his dirty too quick. Our clothes were always new and clean. We took them off when we got home so that they would last.
The Bullying Of Poor School Age Children For Lack Of Decent Clothing
Everyone wants to bring their kids up and tell them material things don’t matter and blah, blah, blah. That ish counts, especially when you are a child in school. Heck, even 50 cents son is questioned as to why he doesn’t have 50 pairs of shoes since his dad is 50 cent. Kids are cruel to everyone.. If you are bringing kids into this world in poverty get ya sh@t together. Get your lazy azz up and make something out of yourself. But then again, if being unable to provide for your child doesn’t make you figure out something, nothing will.. I am completely blaming this case on her mother.
Truth be told sometimes your best is just not good enough. Do better! When you are a half way decent parent your heart breaks when you can’t give your kid something. You will spend your last on that child. What’s the price of clean pair of shoes for a little girl $20??? So $20 here and there costed that child her life? Stop Playing. SMH,, I’m hella mad. Yet everyone wants to have a child and just provide them with love. There is more to life than just love.

Poor child. Her parents should have done something about it, the school should have done something about it, AND the parents of the bullies should have done something about it. Heads would be FLYING if this happened to my child. If I made the front page, so be it.
tht shit hapn close to me n ridgefarm or one of dem lil hick towns…….they said she was raised by her granny and i guess they aint hav money like tht ….smh tht shit is sad as fuc
I am so glad you are bringing this up, AsK-Kissy. Every child should have the chance to go to school in peace.
You don’t have to buy kids “designer clothes” and $150.00 shoes for them to look nice…GOD Bless this Baby…
I’ve got 2 girls. “speechless”
That’s a Damn shame!!!!!!
Her mother is not to blame for her being bullied, the bullies are to blame. Not everyone can afford new things. That type of attitude is what makes bullies think it’s ok to pick on someone.
See thats just another example of why all schools should wear uniforms…that way the focus would be on education.
Lord Jesus..sad sad sad..
Ronald Ransom kids should not have to be forced to tone down their creativity to wear uniforms to take up slack for sorry azz parents who don’t mind that their kid doesn’t have the best.
You make a very valid point of parents passing poverty to their children, especially Black parents. But that is just an excuse. I remember being picked on because I didn’t have expensive clothes or I didn’t dress well. No, there’s something else that caused her to commit suicide. Children don’t just kill themselves because of bullying. Something else is apparent.
So sorry for her family.another young life snuffed out to soon!
Sad, so sad.
2 me,i think this is funny
Shanel M You should not have kids then. It may be ok for you to have NOTHING new, but it’s NOT ok for your child to not have nice things and some new clothes. If you can’t afford it, you should be trying to find a way to better yourself so that you can at least dress your kid decently. If my grandmother could do it raising us on welfare then anyone can do it. I’m not accepting those excuses.
This story bought tears to my eyes! She was a beautiful little girl…kids are so cruel now a days if your not wearing 150 dollar sneakers and 250 dollar jeans they pick on you. Thats sad! Its never ok to bully anyone for any reason! My heart goes out to her family
Kissy..where does it say her clothes and shoes were dirty?? Kids will tease other kids if they don’t have Polo shits and Prada shoes..and no one knows what her Mom’s finances were..and whether she had any help with her daughter…Buying kids expensive clothes and shoes will not help them learn any better..It will only give them a false sense of entitlement..making them think they “must” have Polo and the like.. to feel good about themselves…SMH…
Hell you have adults that wear second hand clothes and you would never know they were second hand clothes because they took the time to pick out nice pieces.. It’s almost like non materialistic people expect the world to think like they do.. The people who are grinding and trying to get the shiny things in life will always outshine those beneath them. You have to be aware of this when you are having kids.. Dress like a bum yourself but dress them nicely and let them have a pleasant experience. Don’t cut off their growth circulation early on due to you not truly providing them with their needs. A child NEEDS decent clothes. The United States of America is not a 3rd world country.
This is the country of white picket fence dreams. WE chase dreams here. We don’t accept poverty as if there is nothing we can do about it.
This happens to a lot of children whose caregivers do not know how to properly socialize their children/grandchildren/etc.. SOMEONE should have seen this and stepped in. I used to teach and I WOULD NEVER, EVER allow this to happen in ANY of my classrooms. When it did, the bully(ies) paid a huge price. Everything was documented, their parents were called in, and sometimes we even got the police involved. Someone dropped the ball. There was NO EXCUSE for this. NONE.
Parents need to do better and teach some self esteem. Instill some confidence or something. I dnt know what’s going on in the world today. I was pick on at times and suicide never entered my mind, maybe whooping some ass but never harming myself.
Schlonda Hampton It says it IN THE DAMN STORY.
Ask-kissy,goto kenya.
This story pisses me off!
This is unacceptable
This is ridiculous! This bullying ish needs to STOP!! Regardless of what her mom sent her to school in (apparently its what she can afford) children need to be taught that bullying each other is not acceptable & that it won't be tolerated! Unless them & their parents are contributing to her taking care of her child, they need not comment! SICKENS ME!!!
Get over yourself Kissy. A poor little girl took her life because of bullies, not because her mother. You look like you were one of those little bitches in school that bullied because they were ugly and insecure. Honestly, youre ugly inside and out and it shows. I hate women like you who want to bash on the poor. Oh and being pretty and being a slut are two totally different things that I think you got mixed up.
@Kissy..I just watch the DAMN video..and I DID NOT HEAR THAT….It said they teased her about her clothes and shoes…..I must have missed it when they said she was dirty…SMDH….
That really is one of the dumbest excuses I’ve ever heard. If it comes down to making sure your child has food in her stomach or new things, you’re gonna worry about impressing other people? Yeah, that’s smart.
@Kissy i totally understand where you are coming from with that BUT you have to look at not only are kids getting picked on for close they are having their good cloths taken from them because another kid does not have what he has….that was my central point of my opinion.
This was not so much about clothes as it is about the child’s sense of self. It has nothing to doi with material goods, but rather how she was not taught how to defend herself. Many children are very sensitive, and, unfortunately, there are power games even at that age. It was not about the clothes, but rather her sense of self worth. Children are also into the pecking order, but it is up to adults to teach them about TRUE inner strength, compassion, self-worth, and security. None of these children were taught that by their parents. Children who are strong, self-assured, compassionate, and are truly loved do not bully.
What do you call DECENT CLOTHES?????? SMDH….
Every child that I have ever met who was a bully a.) had a broken home; b.) had an emotionally/mentally/physically abusive caregiver; c.) was not viewed as a respected member of the household; d.) was neglected by the caregiver; e.) had older siblings who bullied the child; and/or f.) was not raised to be truly strong and compassionate.
i’ve always said that if you cant take proper care of a kid then dont born them to a miserable life USE CONDOM! I know you’ve heard about before, its cheap
I’m sorry but some parents just don’t have it now as long as the kid is clean and the clothes and shoes are too then there is no reason to bully the child my dad was from MS with an eighth grade education and my mom was a com college grad working at a warehouse we didnt have it they made just enough for the bills my bros and sis sold dope so that we could have gear and we still did nt get it often as other kids felt we should school is for education and some social interaction but mainly education that baby didn’t deserve to be bullied and he only way out shouldn’t have been killing herself clothes don’t make ur mind and your heart do ask me where those bullies now not doing shut with their life in and out of jail bunch of babies and no help with them me five bedroom house four bath two cars and a husband it’s gets better if a child knows there is light at the end of the tunnel
We need to go old school n teach these kids self estem n not be puszys in life teach they asses how to defend themselves this whole bully shit….. is way overboard, u have to teach these kids how to survive in the real world, even as adults we have punkasses tryn to bully other ppl. but u learn to stand strong,, n handle ur business
Decent clothes are Clean ones that don’t look like they’ve been handed down from 2 generations ago. Clothes that fit the child are are CURRENT. Clothes that match and don’t have holes in them. People need to get out of this poverty is ok mindset. If you have given up on life you shouldn’t even open your legs.
We live in a world where parents are raising weaker children with no socials skills to overcome normal problems in life. Due to the increase tech world there are more children lost then ever, hence the new generation of fatter kids, high number of weird sexual behavior (bi), and lower self esteem! Also the new parenting style of being your kids friends first and being a parent second. Then there the most important fact here not paying attention or not knowing who are children are anymore.
Ronald Ransom There will always be problems with a kids. But one shouldn’t give their kid self esteem problems early on. It’s just not right.
Ok I donate my sons clothes to good will and only he has worn them and I pay nice money for his clothes. What is wrong with good will clothing?? That’s the problem with most people is that they don’t know the difference from gently used clothing and thrift store type clothing. Everyone can’t afford brand names and they do their best, but at the same time as a parent you must make sure that you are raising your child/ children not be so shallow!! This is a sad story!!
What do you mean Current????? NO ONE said..at least not me..that Poverty is ok..but is telling your daughter that she has to “rock designer labels to “outshine” others ok??? A good parent WOULD NOT TEACH their child such principles..based on BULLSH*T…
Im sorry about tha lil girl killin herself but these 2day kids r soft teasin & bullyin hav always been around & always will b sorry to say but bullyin was around when i was little but it didnt make any of us wanna kill ourselfs
I dont think it was her clothes… I got teased and bullied and I wore clean clothes. Children can be cruel. I got it for having long hair. She was a pretty girl and sadly somebodies always gonna find fought. Her clothes could have been name brand they’d pick on what brand. Praying for her family and for these children that are being raised by idiots…
I missed the part where they said her clothes where dirty. I watched it on the local news being i live in nc and they said the kids just picked in her clothes and shoes..that could be for any reason…i don’t think its appropriate for anyone to try and down talk her parents after they just buried their child smh
*on
Exactly, Brandy.
we should not blame the mom for school bullies.
This is sad I’m going through a situation at my Sons School we just moved and the New school he attends he’s been getting bullied since the beginning of the school year . Bullying is alive and this is rally putting a strain on my household . I been up to the school they suspended the student for 3 days the student comes back and continues ,I have a meeting with the Grandfather of the student and he assures me this won’t happen again . Well guess what its still going on and I’m gonna contact an attorney because I called the board of ed and they haven’t return my calls . I’m getting no where and my son doesn’t wanna go to school are if he goes the nurse is calling because he’s claiming he’s sick .@Darin like you said its a New generation of parenting and its sad I’m young but I’m in my childs life and future and I’m gonna fight until something is done .
@Brandy..EXACTLY!!!!!!!
This is so sad. Just breaks your heart to hear young people taking their own lives, out bullying. Those who did the bullying, need to be held accountable to the fullest. May God bless her soul….
@Andrea..I missed it too..because it wasn’t there….
Wow at the commentary.
@Kissy i just read the article and based my earlier opinion on something that was totally different from what i thought and i now understand the point you are making……#cudos
I am all torn up. Thank you for sharing. I agree with Kissy. New doesn’t mean expensive it does mean clean and well cared for. I have a daughter. She is my pride and joy. A reflection of me, I would never send her out into the world looking unloved. Parenting is about preparation.
Man, I’m sorry but if you think you are doing your child justice by just providing them with just food, that is not good enough. That is why it takes 2 people to bring a child into the world. If one can’t provide for the child hopefully the other one can while the one who can’t provide gets their stuff together….
She could’ve been teased because her clothes were stylish enough for the simple kids that did the teasing and bullying.
Why do people think it’s ok to just provide the bare minimum to their kid?? Thank God I wasn’t raised by some of you. Hell, life is hard as heck already. High self esteem is needed… Dirty clothes and shoes will equal low self esteem for most kids..
Tocorra see of you can put him in any karate classes, so he will learn self defense and learn how to dismiss the losers that are teasing him. When my son first started going to the school he is in a little boy would try and be a bully but my son stood up for himself and told him that he was wack for acting like that and its not cool and now they are best friends!! I think bullies are seeking acceptance from those they are picking on.
You can’t expect a kid to understand or feel sympathy for a child whose parents barely care about their presentation. Kids don’t have that in them at a young age. Kids care about materials. Only as an adult do we stop caring about materials. You can’t expect children to think like adults. Nor should you place your shabbiness upon your child. If you do EXPECT your kids to get teased.
I remember teasing this boy about his payless dirty shoes when I was in 5th grade. The whole class used to tease him.. You know what his parents did??? They sent him to school in some name brand shoes. He asked us “ARe you happy now.” I will never forget that day. I felt bad. Never teased a kid again after that.. But at least his parents had enough sense to eliminate the problem..
@Kissy..You said you don’t have kids..correct???? ANY PARENT KNOWS that it takes so much more than food to “PROPERLY” raise a child…and right again..it does take (2) to raise a child..Maybe her Dad will be the Sensible one and say his daughter doesn’t need all that “pomp and circumstance”…..
And truth be told even when my clothes were not up to par when I was little I knew how to fight and people knew that they would receive a fresh azz whooping upon messing with me.
REAL TALK..If I were you I would have kept that story to myself….No..he didn’t eliminate the problem..You and kids like you were the problem….
It is a tuff world out here and you never know what you will face until it comes. People can say what they would do all day long, but until u are put into that position you really have no idea! No one WANTS to purchase sub par items for their child or children, but at times you have to make it do what it do. There is NO excuse for anyone child to be dirty, however name brand clothing is just a part of society that will keep us broke and looking crazy!!
No Schlonda Hampton I never said I didn’t have kids. I also grew up in the projects so I know and understand poverty. I also know that most of the parents in the projects did not send their kids to school looking like project kids. We couldn’t get fresh new video games and bikes like other kids, but they sent us to school dressed nicely. Half the time we were flyer than the other kids.
Nobody said anything about it being ok to provide their child with the bare minimum. But thinking a child has to have “new” things to impress everyone else is a problem. They would’ve found some other reason to bully her. I had nice things as a child and people still tried to bully me for everything from me being too quiet, the fact that I didn’t look like everyone else, or they weren’t sure of my race, someone they wanted to “go with” liked me instead, etc. That poor child had no reason to be bullied. They didn’t bully her because she didn’t have enough, they bullied her because they were insecure and took it out on her.
When i reflect on my childhood its a mirracle and a blessing to have made it through my school years wearing non designer clothing and shoes….big pat on the back for that one.
My God..I cannot express how my emotions are right now..or know what her mother must be going through? I was bullied real bad as a kid..because of my clothes (mostly hand me downs) and my features. I have scars on my face, had them since I was 3 years old. No child wanted to sit with me during lunch or classes and I was always by myself during recess, at times I would wish being dead, myself..it hurts real bad, when you’re trying your hardest to make friends? I know, I didn’t do anything wrong to them. Back then, I was called all types of names and picked on or beat up, because of those scars. It really sucked being treated like that..until..I fought back! Now, as I’m older and more wiser beyond my age..I’ve learned to appreciate my scars and myself and made a great deal of good friends along the way. That young girl, Jasmine..was treated with the worst kind of bullying..she may not of had a big house or fancy name branded clothes, but, she had life! Sadly, hers was ended at a very young age. Her mother shouldn’t be the blame here. It’s obvious in the video, that they are not fortunate enough to afford those type luxuries. The blame is in the bullies and their parents for the poor upbringing that they were given. And, I mean poor behaviors in their upbringing, not a poor life. Most bullies, come from well upper class families with money..that’s a fact!
So ..Kissy..you wore designer clothes when you were little..living in the projects?????
TOCARRA what is the reasoning behind your child being bullied?
@KISSY now I understand your comments! You were the bully they are speaking of! Do you think that every child that is BULLIED, their parents will change their appearance to accomadate your standards? Im sure every parent wants the best attire for their children.
@ Katrina I will take that into consideration , the child is looking for acceptance because the child is on the heavy side . From my understanding the child is also being raised by the Grandparents . I express this with the school but I will continue to fight for my Son . Its clear to me that the laws that have been passed for bullying is not getting enforced the way they should .
Well unless we have pictures of what this kids was dress in everyday we dont know just how unkempt this child was so its all sepculation. I refuse to spend a ton of money on my childs clothes…simply refuse. But I use coupon and shop inthe off season to I buy new clothes for a year in advance for my kids. But she was a beautiful girl. They made fun of her because she was pretty…period. We have to start teaching our children to have character and internal strength. I ws made fun of constantly for whatever reason, but my grandmother raised me to know my self worth and no let people who were in the same position as me make me feel unworthy. and how the hell did the parents not know this was going on??!!?? People please talk to your kids !!! How could parents be so clueless????
@Ronald Ransom..I hear you..My brother and I…wore nice clothes (that weren’t designer..and name brand shoes)…and we made it too…
You have kids being bullied over their sexual preference, kids looking funny, kids being dumb and so many other things. That lil girl was beautiful. Her mom should of sent her to school in nice lil dresses and cute shoes. She should of not had to worry about being teased because of her clothes.. It’s sad and I’m mad. I’m mad that people don’t care enough to try to provide the absolute best for kids that did not make a choice to be brought into this world in the first place.
I ALWAYS had clean clothes and shoes going to school…yet i was teased because they weren’t 150 dollar pair if jordans or nikes..my parents couldn’t afford those things! But i thank GOD i was able to hold my head high and keep pushing..
I can’t believe this
Thank you MELISSA .. She is a representation of YOU. Exactly.
@Schlonda I had the video but somehow it got lost. But it said it on this other video I had up..
We shouldn’t blame themom 4 what happend and everyone can’t afford 2 buy the nicest things in life…..I dnt blame the kids either im reading the kids 2day are this and the kids 2day are that but it strts with us what I blame our generation and how we are raising our kids everyone sits back shaking there head talking bout I’m scared for our future but what have you done to make a difference in society things are not gonna change sitting back talking about it or blogging about it it just takes 1 to start 2 make a change
Ok. I see ya’ll just not going to believe me so I found the video. It’s the 2nd video at the bottom that says she was teased cause of dirty shoes. http://www.v103.com/cc-common/mainheadlines3.html?feed=423478&article=9415570&fb_comment_id=fbc_394430064990_12878813_394666259990#f31e5df624
@Fb user I believe my son is shy he’s a loner he’s now attending an african american school . Which there’s no problem with that but he’s twelve and all his little twelve years of life he’s been raised around caucasions , portugese spanish and I’m thinking how the children are looking at him he thinks he’s white (typical black saying from ignorant people . My son is a skate boarder were I moved there’s none of that . The children over here are all about stealing bikes and figting at the play ground . I believe the child that is doing it has low self asteam the child is heavy and in order to get friends the child picks on others . I had a meeting with the Principal,social worker and the Child Granfather . The said the issue would be resolved but its still going on . In the meeting the Principal said the child is better this year than last year . My thing is if you knew the child was a problem maybe they should get evaluated and get the help that’s needed .
I know of people that live in low income housing and yes they can afford all of the name brand clothing because they pay 50.00 for rent where as others pay 800.00 – 1000.00 monthly for rent. That’s not including everything else either. Go figure. This society is really messed up and the kids are getting it from the adults!!! We need to get our priorities in order we really do!
Wow.
Kissy honey I love u but i cant agree with u all the way on this. Bc my grandmother raised me and she couldnt afford the best but what I had was decent clothes, as decent as u can get with what the money u had was the saying for back in the days.& I wasnt teased for my clothes I was teased bc as either too tall or to fat. Kissy kids are being teased for much more than clothes. Our generation was tough yea we had to fight but now something has changed for worse then ever I seen. Another life is lost bc people cant accept some one thats different. My heart goes out to that lil girl bc whatever peace she couldnt find here she has it now.
i mean the girl was MIXED and pretty. That’s teasing on it’s own.. Now you going to send her to school in old dirty shoes?? If you do this to your child YOU SUCK!
Tocorra what state are you in? That’s one reason why I chose to go without a lot of my wants to be able to send my son to a private school. I’m not going to tolerate ignorance from anyone!! Also when the parents know better the children will too. The little boy that is teasing your son want to be like him because he has a mother that cares for him.
And how many times do us people with common sense have to say that you don’t have to wear DESIGNER clothes to look nice. Hell, I don’t wear designer clothes and I still look like a Boss Chick when I step out of the house. Man , Im done with this. Ya’ll done gave me a headache. But rather you agree with me or not ,take this thread and this article into consideration when you sending your kid to school in dirty clothes and shoes.. You do realize the other kids may have parents who go hard for them right?? You do realize your child will feel inferior to these kids right?
Oddly, I think back to my childhood and I did not have the best. I was nicely dressed though. I remember being nappy headed and being totally oblivious to not having things. I always thought I was some Princess.. It really annoyed my grandma. But I would never expect other kids to be as mentally strong as I was as a child. I would spend my last on my child, and if I was unable to provide to my child decently I would work hard on getting a job or starting a business so that I could do more.
Yes. You take a break BULLY! TTYL
So the mom is to blame, wow.
Childhood is just soo tuff. This story breaks my heart.. And I’m still blaming her mother. How can she sit her azz on the couch and talk about how the kids were saying her child had dirty last year shoes.. AND NOBODY is going to stand up to her mother and tell her she was wrong for sending that beautiful baby to school like that…
dammm shame, awful the mother should be ashamed for doing that s**t to her daughter that b**ch should hang for that . Every parent should bust their asses to take care of their children.
Her Mom said she was teased because her shoes were dirty (they should have been cleaned..it doesn’t take much..and some parents NEED to pay more attention to their kids..I for one stay up in my boys faces..and they are damn near grown..Parenting NEVER STOPS) and that they were last year’s shoes..BOTTOM LINE..Those ” bad a*s” kids were jealous of this beautiful little girl..and because they were being raised by their ” materialistic parents” who were probably living in the projects with Big Screen TV’s buying $200.00 shoes ..but not trying to find a way to get out of the projects” to think if it didn’t cost $200.00 it’s not worthy of you to wear..they bullied her..
Man a parent should always put their kids b4 themselves, it kills me to see the parents in name brand top notch clothing nd their kids running around with sleepers nd nappy hair. I may look messed up. But my kids got to look good. I raised my kids with good self-estem. Nd confident in themselves. I’m a single mom, with five beautiful kids. They love themselves. I dont have alotta money but I manage to keep my kids in an activity. keep them looking good. If I dnt have it oh they still gonna get it….
TOCARRA, even adults tease other adults who are not like them.. Your child has been raised around white kids so he does not act like a typical black kid… Perhaps you should teach him some social skills on how to deal with these kids and pretend to tone is uniqueness down until he gets to high school. Because they are NOT going to stop teasing him. Teach him how to relate to these kids YET keep his own values. People simply do not like things that are not similar to them. You have to teach your child to become a puppet master of these kids. He has to become the cool kid and make these other kids look up to him and want to follow him.. Gotta teach him how to play the game early on.. IT will due wonders for him as an adult because even then this game must be played.. It’s sad, but it is what it is..
I was always a geek and the kids never understood me. I was always different but I learned to make people look up to me and want to be like me.. Maybe it’s possible to teach him that. So that he will have the power. Hell Lil Wayne rides skateboards. All the kids want to be like Lil Wayne.. You have to make him tell those kids that he is really the cool kid and that they just aren’t up on this style because that’s what the fly kids in Cali wear. Show him similar people who are like him so that he can see people he can relate to. If he knows nothing is wrong with the way he dresses and acts then he will be better able to deal with these kids. He must be taught to take pride in being different. It’s going to be a lot of work, but worth it. Take him out of school for a week and work on it.
It’s very sad to know that a little girl at that age could know to do something like that to herself. I don’t believe in blaming the mother or Jasmine’s clothes. Kids are mean. Period. They would have picked on her about anything: her hair, her height, her weight. Even if she did roll up into school with dirty sneakers on monday and change her game on wednesday, those kids would still continue to harass her. The same thing happened to me. I just wish that someone could have gotten to Jasmine sooner. It’s just so sad. She was only 10 years old…She was just a baby. I hate that she knew how to take her own life.
I live in NC not far from where this happened, and none of the news reports have said her clothes were old nor dirty, actually from the investigations thus far they are saying that even though some people have posted things on facebook and other social pages abiut her being bullyed they have not had 1 person to acutually come forth and say they saw or did any bullying to this poor little girl. The main focus should be on someone a child a 10 year old child was going through something to make her kill herself. Many people live in proverty and always will sadly, many people will wear 2nd hand clothes even if they can afford new ones, I just bought a D & B purse from a consignment store myself -hey why pay $500 for something that i can pay $40 for, the fact is that bullying is here and has been for a long time and todays bullys are a new harsher breed. I only pray that my grands don’t go through being bullyed and that they are not bullying others. My prayers for the truth to come out why this child killed herself, and for everyone especially her mother to be comforted in the sweet warm embrace of God.
Kellie you are ABSOLUTELY right! Love your comment!
im in Jersey
@Katrina McGee..YOU SAID IT ALL!!!!!!!!!! These kids have fu*ked up priorities because of their PARENTS…FAILURE TO TEACH THEM WHAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT IN LIFE.. “Son..you will never amount to anything..you will never outshine the rest of them..that happen to be beneath you unless you wear Polo Boots….Polo shirts…$150.00 New Balance….$160.00 Nike etc”…(this is what they wear at my son’s school)..I just asked him….
Thank You TASHIETA, and that’s how it’s supposed to be.
man, You can buy POLO shirts at Burlington and a HIGHLY discounted price.. WTF, people know how to make a kid but they don’t figure out where the hell to buy them inexpensive nice clothes at…
It should matter what she wore to school, parents should teach their children you have more than some, less than others they should teach them it about your character. There are well dressed folks who kill Ted Bundy. I am sadden that this little child took her life for this mess. As parents if the school won't but fear in the bullies you should, I don't know about you but I will catch a case for my child.

@Schlonda I would have failed as a parent if I focused on making my son the most popular kid because of his outer appearance but he was a dumb as a box of rocks!!! This is truly sad!!! Not saying that both can’t be accomplished, but the focus should not be clothes and shoes anyway!! That’s why all schools should have uniforms! It would save parents money and save tragedy’s like this from happening!! Most parents see and can tell when something is wrong with our child/ children and its our job to find out what it is and to keep them on the right path! Babies were killing babies now they are killing themselves SMH!!!
Just sad. As parents we must validated our children! If they know we love them unconditionally and they matter to us then they won’t need approval from anyone else. I’m so sad to hear about this!,
Kissy..What the Fu*k is right..Why does it have to be Polo?? Because wearing Polo..makes them a better student..and is more conducive to learning “properly”..GTFOH!!!!!!!!!!
@Katrina..EXACTLY..you are SO RIGHT..AGAIN!!!!!!!!
So many vain ppl in this world.
Some people shouldn’t be parents!
I wish I could see the moms wardrobe. She probably Baby Phat’d up, but her kid gets the leftovers from Foreman Mills. Probably waiting on the the child support check instead of establishing her own money. Putting her needs before the kids. Look this was deeper than just the bullies. Her environment she lived in contributed to her mentality also. How the hell does a 10-year old know that hanging themself will kill them? There’s a whole lot we don’t know!
I see a project mindset.
AsK-Kissy.com that is so true he’s in middle school and this will follow him . I tell him all the time you are different and people are gonna actually hate because they wanna be like you . I do tell him to embrace the fact that he’s different from the rest and he’s is top in his class and he tells me all the kids like that he’s smart .He also tells me they ask hm for help all the time but he doesnt help he think thats cheating . I told no some people need help maybe you can make friends like that .I feel bad cause i was looking for a cheap house to buy and the house is nice area is nice but everything is never gonna be perfect . Im working on his social skills to deal with issues like this ..This shall pass but I never thought in a million years that my chilren would ever have these kinds of issues .
Nope @Darwin..If you look at what she had on in the video..I doubt if she has all that..That lady is living with her Grandmom..probably getting no Support..what so ever from the Dad…which is a mute point now..She’s gone..;(..TOO SOON….
Bullying has gone to a whole new level in the past 10 years…..I was brought up in the70s and bullying was alive and well even then. I was the tallest in the class and still got teased. People are bullied for NO reason at all and it needs to stop. WE as adults should not be debating about designer clothes etc…We should be banning together to campaign and start organizations and groups to help these kids with the bullying issue. Too many young lives are being lost.
This is so sad:( That poor little girl. And to even mention an excuse as petty as dirty shoes and clothes neing the reason for this happening is crazy!!! There is no excuse for bullying!!! If it wasn’t her clothes or shoes it would have been something else! Its so sad that the only way she felt she can escape was through death. Such a sad story.
being ^^^Typo
This story & the comments have rendered me speechless. Which is no small feat. Reading this made me think abt how I’ve basically been bullied all throughout my childhood. Not because of clothes, I neva wore designer clothes I didn’t feel like my mommy could have afforded them(a child’s thinking–)I was bullied bcause I was smart, well spoken, out spoken and LOVED. KIDS & ADULTS resent this so you become their bullseye to cover up their self hate. This story has made me cry. How can a ten yr old know how to and then have the strength to kill her self? Sad, clothes clean or dirty, mother right or wrong is irrelevant at this point. We have to save the next Jasmine, so we won’t b pointing fingers and feeling bad. Bullying is a cancer that must stop. Sleep well Jasmine, eternal peace to you. To Tocarra best wishes on getting your bullying situation resolvrd
Toccara. YES, he must help these kids. that is how he will earn their respect.. he has to politic.. It’s going to take some time but keep working on it and guiding him.. Eventually he will be the master of his domain. As long as he knows he Is top notch and NOTHING is wrong with him..
Threads like this with strong opinions are great for parents. It opens people’s eyes. It also unfortunately shows that no matter what some parents will still feel that only LOVING their child is important. It takes so much to provide a child with a healthy, happy childhood.
people need to start whoopin they kids again. If I heard my daughter was doing something like this to another individual, I’d whoop her ass. Misery loves companies, and that’s why bullies bully. Kids are mean. Period dot. But nowadays you have the kids who grew up during the crack epidemic trying to raise kids and it’s not working, because they were never properly raised themselves.I see it all the time, and we wonder why our kids are in jail, or doing drugs, having multiple sex partners. When parents stop parenting, you get Columbine, and situations like what this poor child went through. It seems that these 90′s babies don’t give a fuck about anything except material things, and feel it’s all right to maker others who don’t have the same feel bad. WRONG. I’m sad that you condone the bullies actions Kissy, because that is who we should be going after. Them and their parents.
So sad but so heartfelt

Welcome to the glory that is humanity.
Where is her father?
Where is her father?
wow that’s sad.
wow that’s sad.
It doesn’t matter what kind of clothes or shoes a child wears to school. It’s the value and self-worth you instill in that child that when she is not infront of you, she will know that she is loved, appreciated, that she is special and that Jesus loves her. And I bet you, a child with that awareness would not attempt in anyway to damage their soul with the deed of suicide. This is truly a sad and disturbing story. Fathers really need to step up as well!
whew…this post made me dizzy…alot of stone throwing and defending of opinions…in the end, the baby’s DEAD!
The main issue at hand is BULLYING ! PERIOD ! Not financial status or earthly things ! Come on Kissy, think !
u have alot if nerve to say anything about the mom sending her child to school in old clothes.u must not know how hard it is to be a parent.you have no idea the pain that lady feels why dont you buy your self some new shoes and walk your ass off of fb.
Doesn’t matter what you wear, kids will find something to pick on you for. I just wished that she had more strength to deal. This is just sad
What pisses me off is the writer's opinion. This young girl is beautiful no matter what she's wearing. No one has the right to ridicule someone else regardless of what they have on. These are kids..not adults Moron! Who are you to decide who should and shouldn't bear children? While I agree that more people should determine whether or not they're capable of providing for a child before they have them, it's not yours or my place to judge. This mother lost her baby. Have some compassion! The sad part is…you actually believe that if the mom bought her a good pair of shoes she'd still be alive. Shows just how "smart" you are. Nowadays any idiot with a computer can write an article and call it News. The story is worth sharing but YOUR OPINION IS NOT. Free speech be damned. SHUT UP! yeah I said it.
exactly she is very ignorant for saying that she don't everyone's situation and needs to STFU!!!

At ten-years old…I knew that suicide was a word in the dictionary. I never imagined it as a choice I could ever make.
So much going on in this world. I tell you…we are worried about the wrong things most times. My questions? What about the children? Why don't we love our children?

This is very disheartening and tragic. I didn’t have much growing up and was picked on. But my parents instilled love, self worth, confidence, and my self esteem was high too. Her parents were sorry and didn’t spend time with her. Plus in this generation, certain people don’t know how to cope and work through their issues. They think it’s the end of the world and it’s not. Suicide is never the answer and a child should get help when thinking about doing this.
man thats mass up rite there
You are a very ignorant women to post this and blame the mother. You do not know shit! Look her pictures she was dressed nice. You do not need new shoes, cloths etc.. Nobody deserves to be bullied. You are a waste of my time to even write my comment. You are a bully with your abusive words.

This story is so sad and tragic. Now to you miss kissy first and foremost how dare you judge this mother and not even know her circumstances on how she was providing for her child? Secondly she is going through enough losing her ten year old daughter in her arms to bullying bs and you have the nerve to say its her fault as a parent like you know her! The problem isn't her as a parent it's the parents of the bulliers! Teach a child up in the way they should go.Are you even a parent to judge this woman? Here you are talking about material shit and dirty shoes but not morals and these kids being taught not to be mean or pick on other students. You always be kinder than necessary because everyone is fighting some kind of battle. This woman lost her child! Those kids were hating on this little girl because she was gorgeous! With long beautiful hair and they wanted to make her feel less beautiful than she was because of how they may have really been feeling about themselves. So they had to try and find something wrong with her! Yes kids are cruel and its up to us parents to regulate what comes out of their mouths. Miss me with that statement it's the mother's fault. I bet the kids who her parents of the bulliers are saying something just as dumb as your statement her mother should of dressed her better. Get the F@$k outta here!

the author's opinion disgusts me! I really hope u look at what you have said? U sound very much like a grown up bully to me. Have some compassion a little girl killed herself.
the author is an asshole and contradicting his own self…he says that he wouldn't send his child to school in dirty shows or second hand clothes, but yet he says he grew up poor n knew how it felt… SO i'm guessing he's saying that when someone is poor and has kids, they should steal brand named clothes and cleaner shoes to send their kids to school? Hmmm… i don't get it

this just goes to show that no matter how pretty a person may be what really counts is how you feel about yourself,, because the whole world can tell you that you pretty but if you don't feel pretty it doesn't mean shit… and then again the whole world can call you ugly and you can feel like the most prettiest person and not even care what any one else has to say.. I think self esteem plays a part in this too we should teach our children to lift themselves up and feel good aboutt hem selves reguardless if anyone thinks they are cute, pretty, ugly etc…

It amazes me how many people below me stopped to comment in anger towards me because I stated the truth.. It's sad that you people will be sending your kids to school in dirty PAYLESS shoes amongst other kids whose parents love them and make sure that they LOOK NICE when going to school.. So the cycle of bullying will continue.. Just know my kid will be the lil fly kid who is in class loving school and LEARNING and not having to worry about people teasing him about some dirty cheap shoes..
You people are having kids and expecting them to have ADULT self esteem and deal with those pressures.. LIKE, did you forget how if felt to be in school and always have much less than the other kids? NOT a good feeling. But you want to send your kid to school to deal with it just because YOU survived it. Not only are you causing them stress and getting teased, but you are lowering their self esteem early. MATERIAL THINGS COUNT.
Last time I checked REAL PARENTS who gave a phuck about their kids would spend their last on them. Just because a child is poor does not mean they should be sent to school looking poor.
That is why uniforms were instituted in many schools. Most of you people responding are upset because YOU send your child to school in old rags and dirty shoes expecting no one to tease them. You refuse to face the harsh truth of life. That is why your kids are losing from the start..
I dont even have kids, but who are you to talk down to people? "You people"?!
This is really sad. The school needs to stop standing on the sidelines and do something about it. Parents needs to teach their kids how to defend themselves with throwing a fist.
I believe your child is a reflection of you, but I am able to afford to keep my kids dressed and not every person is able to do that. But if it came down to it and I didn't have it my ass would be at good will trying to find something nice for them to wear. Regardless though kids need to be taught that not everyone is the same and not everyone is able to have nice things and it is wrong to tease or make fun of someone because they don't have nice clothes or nice shoes like everyone else.
This is the problem with a mareialistic world a sick cycle of people. Who taught ya'll to be that way?
@sokhna Ok now that YOU KNOW, the world is materialistic are you going to send your kid out into it prepared or are you going to let them be ambushed?
I do like your page and the truth you have to say but kids that are bullying other kids for not having name brand or having name brand are being bullied everyday. It don't matter if you can afford it or not kids now a days will tease kids for being smart, or pretty, or handsome whatever ever the case kids tease regardless. And the parents that are raising the bullying kids are not teaching them the sense of morals never judge a person by what they wear you have no idea what is going on in the home the kids that the bulkies could be teasing could shoot up a school or kill the bully.when bullying a child you don't know what they are going through in the home they could be being raped or molested, or their parents could be beating them. Kids that bully have problems with themselves and I think it is disrespectful and wring for kids to tease each other and while your talking the rich get bullied to so its not about the money its about power and seeing how far you can push someone to. Its said that ten yr old baby is dead from kids bullying her. There was a time I couldn't afford nothing but pay less for my kids but I always taught my children never tease or bully a child because you never know how angry you make that kid or whts going on in their home. My kids never got tease for wearing name brand clothes and non name brand clothes why because of what I taught them plus kids automatically liked them for their smarts and personality. My kids became popular in school for their personality thhir smarts and my son because he played sports not because they were in the dumb crowd to bully other kids because they took those kids in and was like them as well. My kids name brand wear from high school to college was not their popularity their laid back personality was. So its wrong to say what was said even now the most name brand my kids wear is from roca wear to Hollister and ed hardy and they go to places like tj maxx', or marshalks to get their name brand shirts their shoes of course come from footlocker. But from the moment thy ey started school my kids didn't get into name brand clothing and shoes until high school. As I said its wrong for kids to tease kids to a point they kill themselves. F my kids did something like that tease someone until they hurt themselves I would kuck their ass so bad rthey wouldn't move until god do a judgement on this earth its wrong for the kids to not get punished for bullying this needs to stop. That's what you should promote stop bullying not blaming the parents for their money situation
I think this is a prime example of why schools should require uniforms. I'm sure kids would hate it and some parents too, but you won't have to worry about kids getting picked on b/c of what they wear-just one less thing to worry about!
Um gon delete myself 4rom this group. All that negative stuff u post word of advice seek jesus! Get off ur high horse n cum down 2 earth cause u can b n that same situation n 4rom da sound of it u couldnt last a day! Ppl of dis world smdh make sick throw up !!
I've talked about kids who were "fresh to death" and kids still do it today. We need to teach people from childhood that clothes don't make the man. Bullying happens in schools that wear uniforms because human nature will find anything to condemn another for if they want to. Just because the world is a certain way (materialistic) doesn't make it right or something to continue to pass on.
This is a sad story but rewinding the clock and putting that little girl in designer clothes may not change a thing. With her low self esteem, she might have turned into a bully herself. There is never one thing that is a cure all for any social ills. Children should be taught that bullying is looked down upon and hurtful while parents send their children to school in clean & presentable clothes, not necessarily name brand. Throwing money at a problem never fixed a damn thing.
Ok Kissy, I'm trying to support a black business woman but I have to say that your comments on this are disappointing, disgusting, ignorant and completely NIGGERISH. I hope you're just trying to get attention. I respect your blog greatly and I am mortified by your comments today.
Kissy i understand what you are doing. I don't knock your hussle. Know that i am not the type to live by a standard placed on me by this society. People try to be like me not the other way around. I am very aware of this, so i use my blessing in a positive way not negative. I often tell children and young people to be a part of the solution and not the problem. Set a bar to cater to their needs not one set by society. Have tolerance because the big world that we live in comes with different people, personalities, way of life & styles. Peace & understanding… My condolensces goes out to the mother of the little princess that took her life may she R.I.P
What a disgusting and sad point of view. BTW it's not "the truth" it's your truth which makes you sound more ridiculous. It's amazing to me what you actually took away from this story. I feel for this family and could never imagine having to go through this. I'm not angry at your comment it is just a direct reflection of who you are and if your comfortable with you so be it! I'm not so I quickly found the unlike button so I don't read anymore of your nonsense!
I understand what kissy is sayin. Cuz if I had a child..she would look flyer than me. I dont care much 4 labels..but what my child wants..god willin she gets.
At the same time..we shouldnt focus 2 damn much on materialism..but dats hard to do. And bullyin needs 2 stop..payless or not. And kids should NOT be wearin dirty shoes still NO One should b hurt. See dats why I shouldnt have kids cuz if I find out my childs bullied..WHAAtT? I will B psycho mom on they asses!

Ummm it's not about what a child wears it how you was your kids to not be bullies and understand the circumstances of other families. My daughter goes to a school where they wear uniforms, even though she is not being bullied there's a little girl at her bus stop who gets picked on and it has nothing to do with her clothes. Bullying will exist even if kids wore the same exact thing from head to toe because they will find something to pick on..
**raise your kids – phone typo
@Just You are right about that. It is going to happen, so why give them extra things to be teased about?
Children are just that children!..growing, learning to cope with everyday life just as us adults. Picking or bullying is just " what they do" teach your children to be neat clean respectful, love themself and learn alll they can absorb and all is just a moot issue and they'll turn out jus fine!!..my parents did just that with all 9 of us and we survived!!
Oops, I meant to say "without throwing a fist." I also want to add that the parents of bully should feel a shame just because he bigger then the other don't mean he/she has the right to bullied other just for their indifference shame on them. For that case, talk to the parents of the bully and end this nonsense by talking it over without resorting violence
Sometimes there's no way around it. No one is perfect and kids will find the simplest things to pick on a kid about. It could be the fact that a child lost their tooth (my child is 6 so she's losing teeth), she can instantly be teased about that. There's no way to prevent that. So at the end of the day is not about the outer shell of a child, it's about how you teach your child to ignore what other kids say about you, defend themselves when needed and to not pick on those that a different, less advantaged etc.
@Just But that tooth is going to grow back and you are going to tell her that it's going to grow back. That is temporary. Next year it will be something new. But it's different to go to school every year, year after year and have to look forward to the kids teasing you about your clothes. That's dreadful..
All I'm saying is that people should put themselves in that child's shoes and imagine being them.
I went to school with my bare foot,i didn't hang myself bcos my parents could not afford to buy me a pair of shoe.I blamed the parent not bcos they couldn't afford to buy her a nice pair of shoe but bcos they didn't brought up well,how can a 10yrs old know know how to take her own life
I was just using the tooth example on how small something can e for a kid to be teased about mines done lost a handful already and they grew back. I had to tell these little boys at my daughter bus stop to leave this little girl alone because it was cold out and she had no tights or leggings under her uniform dress. Even though I was concerned to why her parents let her out like that when it's cold out, I didn't think she was going to be teased about it. It is real sad that kids go through this, even when wearing uniforms. All we can do is try to instill some kind of moral values in our children so they don't behave like that. And for the parents who don't have it all, I agree they do need to place themselves in their kids shoes. We don't know what goes on when they leave the house. I would be a raggedy dust ball before my child be one though, and some kids also need to speak up. Some will let this happen without saying anything. So some parent will think everything is fine..when it actually isnt
I teach my sons & nieces and nephew what my Daddy taught me when I was a kid. I got teased about EVERYTHING- my intelligence, my hair, my clothes (my parents did okay but I wasn't a good steward of my appearance back then). "The minute they buy your things they have every right to talk about how you look. They are looking like a million bucks on someone else's dime but the time they spend talking about you & not learning is setting them up for failure later in life. Learn all you can so you can become successful & buy whatever you want later. Success is the best revenge. They'll be looking stupid while you have a million bucks & look like it too."
Well I agree on that note, The reality is there is a good amount of people who do remember being bullied as children. Sadly this happens everywhere including the workplace. No one is perfect, No one is immune.
VERY WELL SAID @JUST' DREA
Wow. Many times I've tried to have your back on your blog postings, but forays post I am sickened by. How dare you criticize this mother for not being able to afford the flyest shoes? You don't know her situation. That woman just list her baby to something so senseless… Kids will find anything to bully other children about. I came from a poor family. My mother couldn't afford everything I wanted in school, but what she lacked financially, she substituted with love. That materialistic point of view is the same one that has our men selling drugs on street corners and our young ladies aspiring to be the next video vixen/stripper that gets saved by some rapper. While I am all for freedom of speech, there is also responsibility and consequence that comes with it. Each day your blog gains a larger following. (I subscribe to both twitter accounts and ur Facebook.) You have a responsibility to ur readers… A little more positivity? Just my opinion…. *kanye shrug*
*todays
No it doesn't! Those thing only make or brake you when that's all you know1 I grew up with seven brothers and wore my cousin 2 years older Hi waters because she was short. I knew I was smart and pretty and did not give a Fu#k because the darker girls that had nicer things made fun of me.
Material things should not make your child feel because I don't have I do not matter!
Teach them Martial Arts when you can afford material things because I had 7 brother I did not have that problem . I would just punch them out.
Nothing wrong with payless shoes if thats all u can afford just make sure there clean..
Gtfohwtbs. This post isn't even worth explaining how backwards your reasoning is. You must not have any kids. Please get off of your high horse and come back down to earth.
Gtfohwtbs. This post isn't even worth explaining how backwards your reasoning is. You must not have any kids. Please get off of your high horse and come back down to earth.
The REAL problem is that most parents of the so called bully isn't teaching the kid not to be a numbskull & to have respect. Charity starts at home… No matter what kind of clothes a person wears, if they have a bad attitude it doesn't matter how fly they are. I was teased once becuz a boy in the lunch line wasted his milk on my foot, I was like ooooo k, what's so crazy bout that? I helped the lil dude clean up his milk & got him another one & dried my shoe off, no biggie, you see Thats how I was RAISED… Now the other lil dude who was laughing & teasing was RAISED to have a bit of insecurity, so he teased any & everything that he could, but when I told him to shut up, he cried, lol! The point is this, kids tease due to lack of being taught what really matters & from insecurity based on lack of getting what they need from home. I've seen fly kids get teased too, so implying that kids get teased due to clothing makes me wonder… Did u get teased about clothing as a kid? Cause u going hard w it…
Nothing a person wears makes them better, I mean you would just be a fly brat & grow up to find out no one really liked u for real, then be a nutty screwed up grown up tyrna prove ish to ppl who aren't even worth it, trust, ive seen this happen. What makes a parent, is what they instill in a child, not what labels they can put on them, & to imply that a parent isnt loving the child due to lack there of of name brands is really really shallow to me. I'm reading the post & NO comeback of yours is justifiable, I like your post/ blog too, but this one is a lil too much for me…
The baby needed encouragement, strength, a huge undeniable fact about who she was, god rest her soul..
Not a pair of baby phat jeans…ijs
& oh yeah btw, if that's the lil girl in the pic, can somebody tell me what about her LOOKS so bad with her appearance? She was beautiful, looks clean, decent, & everything to me…
This is a stunning example of what's wrong with our society. We value material things instead of what is actually important. Getting good grades is second to having a "rep", fly shoes are second to spending time w/ children to instill self-worth, and knowing how to catch a ball is second to treating others w/ respect. This tragedy should make us love each other, talk to our children and find out what the bully may be dealing with not making the rich richer while our character becomes weak.
This is so,sad. N if u,have kids i,feel very Sorry 4,them if ur their only example! THANK GOD,IM NOT THIS LIL GIRLS, MOTHER CAUSE I WOULD OF BEEN RIGHT @ UR DOOR
did you even think how her mother provide for everyday needs? Well i guess you miss kissy did not really experience the point of life when you have nothing to give but love, and you can't do anything but to work work and work that you don't even care what your child wear as long as she eats. Sometimes giving birth to a child is not an option miss kissy.. sometimes they come tragically. But this I'm sure every mother is sorrier than you when they lost a child. Because they give more love and not materials like you. This article gives you bucks right? This article really shows what kind of a person you are. Pathetic!!!
Self esteem does not come from shoes, go to church!
U SOUND SO STUPID. Did you personally see the shoes and rags this little girl was wearing to school??
I’m sure a ten year old’s description of “dirty” is a lot different than a adults. FYI- even the “fly” kids can be bullied….I’ve seen a girl get stripped naked in the street from all her “fly” clothes…ur not stating the “truth” your simply stating your ignorant opinion. your a lost woman. get your life!!
That's what's wrong with this world today – IGNORANT "WOMEN" SUCH AS YOU…
I just happened across this & DAYUM, you're a judgmental BEYOTCH!!! You don't don't know what their circumstances are/were, & it's good that you DON'T have kids, seeing all you have to offer as a parent is teaching them how to be future golddiggers with extremely LOW MORAL STANDARDS, worrying about nothing other than the latest fashion trend!!! You spend your last on what that child NEEDS, not WANTS…in most cases such as these, it's a roof over their heads, food in their mouths, & clothes on their back. What she SHOULD'VE offered her daughter was a can of whup-a**, & permission to use it as necessary; you take out the biggest/baddest, & shut the rest of the ish DOWN!!! It's getting harder & harder to juggle a dollar, & unless you can offer some CONSTRUCTIVE information on how to do so, you need to STAY THE F**K IN YOUR LANE…AN NON-PARENT HAS NOTHING TO SAY ON ANYTHING!!!
Damn, Keeping It "REAL" dosen't mean its Right, the shallowness of this Rant called an "article" is appalling…….you will keep losing readers and followers with this……….ignorance
KISSY YOU DIDN'T STATE THE TRUTH DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU WEAR NAME BRAND OR NOT THEY WOULD STILL GET BULLIED YOU SOUND IGNORANT AS HELL!!!
I was a child who was teased and I am still teased about my breast. I got picked on because I was a pretty red bone with boobs at 10 so it didn't matter what I wore that fact is that children get teased/bullied by others because they are jealous of that child or because they have no self esteem at all. The girl was bullied because she was beautiful not because of what she wore. What she wore was the only thing the bully could tease the girl about. Obviously the little girl worried about what others thought about her when truth be told she should have loved herself and not worried about those other kids. Hell I remember being in H.S. and everyone wanted "Jordans" and I got teased because I wore "Payless" shoes, but the funny thing is that those kids who wore the expensive shoes were ugly both inside and out and tke irony about it all was while they wore there jordans to shoes in the snow the salt from outside that was used to dissolve the snow had damaged their shoes while mines were perfectly in tack! From seeing that I no longer cared what others thought cus if I was given $200 and I spent it on a $20 pair of shoes that lasted me for awhile and have $180 in my pocket I'd take that over paying $160 on a pair of shoes leaving me with $40 in my pocket and a damage pair of shoes. So I have to disagree with you Krissy. It is not her mother fault that she got bullied. It is the fault of the bully and the bullies parents for not loving that child and punishing the child for wrong behavior. A bully is created and taught from what goes on in their own home and takes all that anger and frustration out on others who are week minded not who are poor.
It amazes me how many people below me stopped to comment in anger towards me because I stated the truth.. It’s sad that you people will be sending your kids to school in dirty PAYLESS shoes amongst other kids whose parents love them and make sure that they LOOK NICE when going to school.. So the cycle of bullying will continue.. Just know my kid will be the lil fly kid who is in class loving school and LEARNING and not having to worry about people teasing him about some dirty cheap shoes..
You people are having kids and expecting them to have ADULT self esteem and deal with those pressures.. LIKE, did you forget how if felt to be in school and always have much less than the other kids? NOT a good feeling. But you want to send your kid to school to deal with it just because YOU survived it. Not only are you causing them stress and getting teased, but you are lowering their self esteem early. MATERIAL THINGS COUNT.
Last time I checked REAL PARENTS who gave a phuck about their kids would spend their last on them. Just because a child is poor does not mean they should be sent to school looking poor.
That is why uniforms were instituted in many schools. Most of you people responding are upset because YOU send your child to school in old rags and dirty shoes expecting no one to tease them. You refuse to face the harsh truth of life. That is why your kids are losing from the start..
I dont even have kids, but who are you to talk down to people? “You people”?!
This is really sad. The school needs to stop standing on the sidelines and do something about it. Parents needs to teach their kids how to defend themselves with throwing a fist.
I believe your child is a reflection of you, but I am able to afford to keep my kids dressed and not every person is able to do that. But if it came down to it and I didn’t have it my ass would be at good will trying to find something nice for them to wear. Regardless though kids need to be taught that not everyone is the same and not everyone is able to have nice things and it is wrong to tease or make fun of someone because they don’t have nice clothes or nice shoes like everyone else.
This is the problem with a mareialistic world a sick cycle of people. Who taught ya’ll to be that way?
I do like your page and the truth you have to say but kids that are bullying other kids for not having name brand or having name brand are being bullied everyday. It don’t matter if you can afford it or not kids now a days will tease kids for being smart, or pretty, or handsome whatever ever the case kids tease regardless. And the parents that are raising the bullying kids are not teaching them the sense of morals never judge a person by what they wear you have no idea what is going on in the home the kids that the bulkies could be teasing could shoot up a school or kill the bully.when bullying a child you don’t know what they are going through in the home they could be being raped or molested, or their parents could be beating them. Kids that bully have problems with themselves and I think it is disrespectful and wring for kids to tease each other and while your talking the rich get bullied to so its not about the money its about power and seeing how far you can push someone to. Its said that ten yr old baby is dead from kids bullying her. There was a time I couldn’t afford nothing but pay less for my kids but I always taught my children never tease or bully a child because you never know how angry you make that kid or whts going on in their home. My kids never got tease for wearing name brand clothes and non name brand clothes why because of what I taught them plus kids automatically liked them for their smarts and personality. My kids became popular in school for their personality thhir smarts and my son because he played sports not because they were in the dumb crowd to bully other kids because they took those kids in and was like them as well. My kids name brand wear from high school to college was not their popularity their laid back personality was. So its wrong to say what was said even now the most name brand my kids wear is from roca wear to Hollister and ed hardy and they go to places like tj maxx’, or marshalks to get their name brand shirts their shoes of course come from footlocker. But from the moment thy ey started school my kids didn’t get into name brand clothing and shoes until high school. As I said its wrong for kids to tease kids to a point they kill themselves. F my kids did something like that tease someone until they hurt themselves I would kuck their ass so bad rthey wouldn’t move until god do a judgement on this earth its wrong for the kids to not get punished for bullying this needs to stop. That’s what you should promote stop bullying not blaming the parents for their money situation
I think this is a prime example of why schools should require uniforms. I’m sure kids would hate it and some parents too, but you won’t have to worry about kids getting picked on b/c of what they wear-just one less thing to worry about!
Um gon delete myself 4rom this group. All that negative stuff u post word of advice seek jesus! Get off ur high horse n cum down 2 earth cause u can b n that same situation n 4rom da sound of it u couldnt last a day! Ppl of dis world smdh make sick throw up !!
I’ve talked about kids who were “fresh to death” and kids still do it today. We need to teach people from childhood that clothes don’t make the man. Bullying happens in schools that wear uniforms because human nature will find anything to condemn another for if they want to. Just because the world is a certain way (materialistic) doesn’t make it right or something to continue to pass on.
This is a sad story but rewinding the clock and putting that little girl in designer clothes may not change a thing. With her low self esteem, she might have turned into a bully herself. There is never one thing that is a cure all for any social ills. Children should be taught that bullying is looked down upon and hurtful while parents send their children to school in clean & presentable clothes, not necessarily name brand. Throwing money at a problem never fixed a damn thing.
Somebody please give this woman a smart pill. I think her bottle was labeled IGNORANT.

I cannot understand how a ten, yes ten year old would even have the mindset of commiting suicide because of bullying. At ten years of age, the last thing on my mind was suicide for any reason at all.
Parents need to raise their children to be strong have strong personalities and to overlook material things. I was raised in this way, therefore, it never mattered to me what I had or didn't have at school and who made fun of me as a result.
This is just too sad.

EVERYONE! What is first and foremost is that a baby has lost her life, and by educating ourselves from the beginning as to the signs of being Bullied in school, will assist us with PREVENTING this type of tradgedy in the first place.
One of the FIRST symptons of being bullied is WITDRAWAL & DETACHMENT within a child, and to recognize the symptoms of Withdrawal…… As parents we must first remain CONNECTED to our children, as it is the only way to comprehend what they are going through EMOTIONALLY, PHSYCOLOGICALLY, and PHYSICALLY.
Staying connected to our children in these times is NOT easy by any means, but I made a conscious decision that there was no other option for me. Unfortunately, our current economy has forced many parents to take on 2 or more jobs, which can very easily cause us to become DETACHED from our children, I have 1 Bio Son that has been successful all the way up from grade school and is now in his second year of College, and am also a Therapuetic Foster Parent to children that come to me with Behavioral, and Emotional issues, so it was always MANDATORY that I maintained CONNECTED to the children within my home, and as a Single Parent, if I wanted to maintain order in my home, rear up successful, and Emotionally Healhy children, I did not have a choice.
Ms. Kissy……… Now unfortunately you struck a lot of folks nerves, but I also heard a lot of the TRUTHS from some of the Bloggers who responded back to you.
REGARDING SPOILING YOUR CHILD………. NO SWEETHEART! I have a Bible that Commands me to NOT spoil my child, if I do, then I have NO TRUE LOVE for him……. but I HAVE SURELY BEEN A DAM GOOOOD NURTURING MOTHER that has provided all of the things that my child NEEDED, with a LITTLE of his wants, I was always a Clean and Neat Freak and developed the common sense early on that my child is a reflection of me, so going to school Neat and Clean was Never an issue for my son, but on the other hand, I never broke my neck trying to live like the Jones's, either…. that is also another thing that causes us to become DETACHED & DISCONNECTED from our children, because when we live above our means, or attempting to Out Do our children with little Sally at school by ATTEMPTING to provide Excessive Material things it also Forces us to work 2 & 3 Jobs which takes away valuable time from home.
Now I know that I have spent wayyyy too long on this post, but the message that I was simply wanted to get across was the necessity of staying CONNECTED with our children for the sake of seeing through the warning signs, and to prevent tradgedies from happening.
Ms. Kissy, I will close up by reminding you that sometimes we're dammed if we do, or dammed if we don't, there are many children that go to school with the Finest things in life and are STILL bullied, because then they become ridiculed for…………. QUOTE – " Having Too Much, Thinking That They Are Above All Of The Other Children ".
I LOOOVVVEEE Fashion, and DO believe that parents should invest time in the quality of grooming and cleanliness when sending children off to school, as this truely does assist with Self Esteem…..BUT….. I DO NOT believe that parents have to break the bank just to do it, last I recalled, Payless had the most Adorable items for younger aged children, and OH, depending on the location, you're bound to find $500.00 dollar suits in Goodwill!
Good Stuff! Thanks for responding.

I’m late as hell, but I don’t give a sh*t. Your first ‘point’ is stupid. Period. Whether it’s the way you worded it or what, what do you mean you shouldn’t have children if you know you can’t spoil them? You don’t have to ‘spoil’ your child to be a good parent. I don’t understand what’s selfish about not having the means to spoil your child as opposed to just taking care of them. Being spoiled is having MORE than what you need, it isn’t not having what you need at all. The kids that bullied her into committing suicide probably have the same fucked up mindset that you do.
she was far to young and pretty to even consider doing this to herself there should be some kind of justice for this baby and her family to have to deal with this family's devastating lost.
Shoes do not have anything to do with anything. If not her shoes, the kids would find something else. When a child goes to school, the SCHOOL is the temporary l parent and should step in to protect. Often time the school does nothing. When I was in school, bullied told the administration, nothing was done and all I got out of it was the bully kicking my behind. The school is responsible, period. This kid isn't the first and will not be the last.
Actually if she had the latest styles, kids would just resort to condemning her physical appearance. Is Moms suppose to spring for plastic surgery as well? Sorry Kissy, that is not the truth, just another opinion.
OMG
this is extremely sad n most painful to watch.
How did a 10yr old baby know how to use a belt to commit suicide!. ..wer cud she hav had dt idea of suicide-tv?!
if she wentas far as dis one can imagine d extent of her suffering at scul.. i wonder why her mom hadnt detected d extent of dis be4 it got to dis..oh God disis painful.
Oh lets stop wit d blamin it on odas.. wat i’l blame here is ‘bullying’ . cos dis isnt d 1stcase of tragedy bullying has led to. Parents/teachers/gov’t shud start determinin new ways of puttin an end to dis..be4 it ruins/terminates innocent lives, cus its mostly d naive n soft dt suffer it.
In Africa 4 instance bullying is almost inexistent, cus parents n teachers dont tak it lightly on bullies. Infact kids in Africa aint ashamed of who or wat de ar talkless of being afraid of som bully. oh pls let asoln to dis be found n implemented!
How could a young beautiful child commite a suicide ?It is because she was teased by her peers or fault from parents n teachers at school?
OMG how could a young beautiful child commite a suicide ?It is because she was teased by her peers or fault from parents n teachers at school?
I have 3 kids and when you have kids you will understand times get hard. My kids are dressed but not in name brand things. I don't wear that stuff either. That does not define anyone. I pay 1000 dollars a month in daycare and after daycare is paid priorities as follows food and bills! Not jordans, baby phat etc. My kids have there own rooms and have a place to live that is not provided by section 8 or any other state assistantance. You sound naive as hell with this nonsense!
The author is dumb ass hell. Please I don't care what you wear or look like there is no reason for bullying!!!!! You didn't knw that mother's situation. Do judge. First and last time on this site. She lost her mind or here marbles blaming the mother. Blame the school for not doing crap or the kids and parent who did teach them what's right and wrong!!!! Dumb Blogger.
And the ignorant parent of the century award goes to… Tada: Ms. Kissy
I have seen a kid with everything get teased so it really doesn’t matter what you got or what brand you wear cause some kids are just jealous different reasons she may have had some they were jealous of or about but somebody should hve got her help cause kids can n will be cruel its just upsetting how society is and how and what parents are teaching their children and tv has so many violent things.
clearly the darling author has nothang to say it shouldnt matter what you wear if your heart is expensive dont let it break for hurtfull because youll get bigger than theyll ever be against bullying deffinetly rip jasmine

How freakin stupid do you sound accusing a childs life being lost over materialistic shallow bs?? By being bullied by children that were probably raised by ignorant or shallowistic people like yourself…that feel a dollar will save the fkn world. No Boo Love will…and at the end of the day most people will loose it all just to have something that pocess so much power and yet is priceless. get your mind right, wise up and gain the real fkn truth…not your ragedy dusty azz opinion.
I don't agree with everything you said, but some of its true..right now the focus should be this little girl. She pissed a lot of pp, off. Not me!
