Suicide pact twin wrote of bullying to Columbine survivor - World News - World - General - Newcastle Herald
DENVER, Colorado: Kristin Hermeler, who took her own life in an attempted suicide pact with her twin sister last week, wrote letters to and phoned one of the survivors of the Columbine High School massacre in 1999.
Kristin, then 18, wrote to Brooks Brown, a former friend of the killers, in the months after Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris murdered 12 students and a teacher in April 1999 at the high school in Denver's southern suburbs not far from the gun range where the two women shot themselves last week.
In the first of two letters, dated June 12, 1999, Kristin said she was writing ''as someone who has been rejected, victimised and ostracised in their life'' to thank Brown for giving Harris a second chance at friendship, adding in the second letter, a month later, ''not a day goes by that I do not think about what happened. I can't imagine how hard it must be for you, dealing with everything.''
Unless you are relentlessly bullied, you do not know the torture and pain it causes, and the emotional changes a person experiences.
Bullying is cruel and needs to be addressed if we want to create a peaceful and happy world.
To all that are bullied, unite and peacefully fight against bullying.
Do not ever waste your life or the life of others it will not change anything. If we unite and fight it peacefully, we can change the world.
Look what Mandela and Gandhi achieved.
