After losing her best friend to suicide, a Bolingbrook High School student wants to know why more isn't being done to address bullying in her school.
On March 12, 2013, my life changed. My best friend passed away from suicide because she was being bullied on Facebook. The next day, no one was aware of this tragic situation.
