I just watched “My Evil Sister” nearly 10 years later. Sisters argue and fight often. My sisters and I fought too but we had each other’s back in the play ground and school. That last fight over the phone was not really over the phone i feel it was about Nellies indifference to her sister being taunted and bullied at school and Nellies harassment at home. Sweet Nellie would still be alive if Stheir parents BR door was locked being there is a “LOCKED AND LOADED” gun with the SAFTY OFF inside a SHOEBOX for heavens sake parents smarten up! Everybody saying they knew Elena was more than troubled and some did try to help but if not for the gun…Sweet Nellie

Anger and rage are not as effective as cool calculating purpose in dealing with bullies. The bullies allways feel like what did I do to deserve this, when they get that old dose of karma. I try to avoid bullies these days, my heart rate goes too high as I repair them.

Me and Christina was like sisters since the first day of sixth grade we know every thing about each other ,, We use laugh at every thing . I’ll never for get the day I first started calling her Cherry ,, it was a joke at first but the stuck with her . We had all our classes together and we shared every thing . She was my best friend, we stuck together no matter what . Words don’t describe how close we were , but it hurts me to my heart that my only best friend is gone ………

I’m not really sure there is all that much help out there for young people with problems. If you have money it would be relatively easy to get counseling or whatever is needed and probably if you had no money there would be government programs that will help. If you fall somewhere in the middle it can be pretty hard to find.
A recent situation in my immediate family and the problems I had leads me to this conclusion.
If there is a list of places where help is free, moderately priced or otherwise would someone please be kind enough to to publish it . It could be a big help to everyone and may be a preventive of some future problem.

My comment is my prayers are with the family. My personal opinion is that it is true Elena had a problem there is help out there for children like her. She was only looking for someone to show her a little attention and love. My heart goes out to her and what she is going through, she needs someone to help her and be there for her. I don’t know what i would do if it was me if it was my child.
I think that people need to look at as she is just a child that was wanting to be love and cared for. Not saying that her parents didn’t love her and care for her, but she needed some one like a friend at school to help her. Her heart is crying out but no one would listen.

@Bogian,

I’m not saying there’s no blame. I’m saying that if people hadn’t tormented her, she never would have been so messed up. I’m also saying that if people hadn’t treated the boys at Columbine badly, maybe they wouldn’t have done what they did either. It was a horrible tragedy for all involved, just as this is. Yes, they have some blame but so does every single person who ever tormented them.

@Concerned Parent

I think you are going down a slippery slope here. The Columbine shooters were taunted. That is a well documented fact. Do you think that relieves them of responsibility to any degree? If you fairly apply your reasoning, you would have to say that they really weren’t bad guys at all, they just got bullied to the point that they couldn’t take any more. Don’t try to say that they killed more people so they were worse, because by doing that you would be lessening the seriousness of this crime and damaging your own argument. I mean, what would the magic number of killings be? Two? Five? Ten?

So, permit me to politely disagree with your assertion that victims of bullying that happen to kill people should have a get out of jail free card.

It is pretty clear that this whole thing was an accident that went down after a heated argument. If she wanted to murder this girl, and according to your “the bullies made me do it” defense she must have wanted to murder her, she probably wouldn’t have run out her door shouting for help. If you really look at it and stop trying to assign blame to society as a whole, you will see that this accident wasn’t related to bullies or harassment.

Anyone else that thinks that bullying excuses this kind of behavior should hold a vigil to see that those bullies that brought about the tragedy at Columbine are brought to justice. Would anyone else love to see that? Probably not.
