Sad to hear. Shared this link.

What is really shameful is the continued harassment, and the fact that she had to move and change schools. Not the perpetrators.

(I could totally understand the perpetrators being forced to move and change schools.)

It's like we're still stuck back in some previous era where a woman's honor hinged on her sexual reputation.

What is also bad that none of her 'friends' stood by her, the boys got to school, shared stories and pictures about her, and everyone believed them, she never went back to school, so the school never cared, they never even contacted the parents, about any of it. Now a lot of these kids are running scared, afraid of being outed, I say it can't happen too soon.
