This is a picture of Skyler, a 14 year-old girl from my area (Green Bay WI) who took her own life last Friday, October 24th.  

Skyler was a victim of bullying and couldn’t take the pain anymore and felt no one could help her.  

As a mom of a 14 year old girl who is trying so hard to find the place where she fits in, this really hits home for me.  I cannot begin to imagine what her family is going through or the pain she was enduring for her to take her own life.  

From what I have learned, Skyler was a bright girl who was funny, artistic, loved music and her family. 

Please, if you have kids, talk to your children about bullying and how their words and actions can and will hurt others.

You can help Skyler’s family and their fight against bullying by making a donation to the National Bully Prevention Center in Skyler’s name.
