I dont know this girl but i feel rather sad and upset.. I will think of Skyler as a friend and she will be missed. I hope that people will now learn what bullying can do to others and how it effects us. God bless. RIP Skyler.
@WhiteMountain Well now her parents, who are just beyond themselves in grief, are arranging for a funeral. The police were not involved, as it was pretty obvious that he had killed herself, and that it wasn't murder. I didn't know se was planning on doing this, her mom and my mom are good friends, and my mom woke me up and told me when she got the call. I would've stopped her, but I had no idea that she even was considering it.
I never met Skyler, but I'm actually crying. I'm so sorry for her loss. I feel like I know Skyler. All day I said to my two friends "I want to find Skyler and give her a big hug."

That's devastating! We strangers and friends on Wattpad did our best to encourage her from our computers miles away, but I guess none of us got through to her in time.
What was incredible to me this morning was that I have a little Lent reflection book specific to each day that suggests a thing to do throughout the day (like open up to God or look for beauty in small things) and has a little prayer. Today before school I looked at the entry in the booklet for March 27, 2013 and it reads, (I'm not making this up,) "Say a prayer for all who are in despair or considering suicide or afraid that they are beyond redemption today -- that somehow love will break through their sense of hopelessness." I had been in a rush to get out the door for school but when I read that I nearly fell over and wept. I had been praying hardcore for Skyler and texted my friends to do the same ever since I found out about her last night.
That simple sentence nearly made me collapse after I'd been praying for this girl so intensely for such a small amount of time. I had never even heard of her before yesterday and I already felt such compassion toward her just overnight... I am so sorry to hear she carried through with it; I will always wonder if there was something else we could have done to keep her here, but I pray that God comforts all who knew her to return to some semblance of peace.
Sorry for the long response (I know I didn't even know her) but she really touched my heart in less than a day. She'll never be forgotten.
