Because I feel that the media made her feel worse about the whole thing, to the point where it became her entire identity…
If she had been allowed to move on, and to just… Realise that it was just an occurrence in the rich tapestry that is life, albeit a horrible one, she would likely still be alive. But no, the media turned her into their pet “victim”, made her keep reliving the trauma over and over, and so she killed herself. And so did her Mum. And so did her brother.
Small town prejudice aside, that would not have happened without the media. And I’m not just saying that. I know it. Because I was in the same school year as someone else who is headed down this path…
Once you make a single incident your whole identity - rarely d they ever come back from that, sadly…
