Felicia Garcia the victim of the system.

In New York a 15 year old girl in the foster care system committed suicide by jumping in front of a train. It is not getting a whole lot of attention from anyone for 2 reasons. She is a minority and she was in foster care.

Just like Amanda Todd, this girl had no one to turn to, or confide it. Because you may know foster parents (or parents for that matter) and have no idea what they are like behind closed doors.

For lack of a better term she was involved in a gangbang with the football team, how disgusting that may sound. And how much she had maybe "done it to herself" why didn't she talk to someone. Why didn't she confide in a school official or go to a psychologist. Yes she had a terrible lapse in judgement, and hormones got the better of her but she should not get ridiculed to the point where they practically force her to jump in front of a train.

One of the quotes from her that I think resembles a lot of angst for most people is "just because I am smiling, doesn't mean I am happy". It is just that, she was probably happy on the outside, hid from it. Held a lot of pressure against herself because she felt as if no one cared.

People care, the people she associated with didn't. As far as I know, no one on that football team was punished or issued an apology. No parents contacted, or the foster parents contacted. It is tragic. It is becoming the thing to do. Don't see a way out, don't see a light just end it. I've been there it is not pleasant.

Bullying actions in school are never reprimanded as they should be. They think it is really funny to mess with a persons psyche. They should be expelled from that school to mess with their psyche. Nothing is done to these people. From first hand experience to what is actually put out there on the news.

Again, talk to people, stick up for people. Save some lives and encourage some hope.

When will the bullying stop? When will someone feel the need to make it stop?

I sincerely hope it is soon, and I sincerely hope the hammer is dropped hard on those football players and the people who tormented Amanda Todd. As nothing as happened yet in that case either.

RIP Felicia Garcia
