Adolescence, he said, is a beautiful time, filled with friendship and puppy love that makes you smile. But what happened to this 14-year-old girl was just the opposite.
Adriana Kuch is a student at Central Regional High School in Berkeley Township. He was found dead at his home two days after the bullying he received.
The bullying attacks that were experienced were even immortalized in a video which was then uploaded to the internet. Adriana, who was walking with her boyfriend in the school hallway, was suddenly hit by a drinking water bottle.
"This is what you get, you stupid bitch*** bitch!" someone can be heard screaming in the 20-second video.
They not only hit Adriana with bottles, but also punched, kicked and pulled Adriana's hair. Adriana was also unconscious, but instead of calling an ambulance, Adriana was just taken to the UKS.
"Being hit by a water bottle didn't hurt Adriana, what hurt her was the shame and the humiliation, it just kept getting to her," Adriana's father Michael Kuch told ABC 7.
Three of the girls were ultimately charged with third-degree felony and a fourth was charged with disorderly conduct, New Jersey's News 12 reported.
Last Wednesday, more than 200 students at Central Regional High walked out of class in protest at the incident. They are demanding action on what they describe as a 'neglected pattern of bullying'.
"Adriana killed herself because no one at school could help or care or intervene," said student Roman Valez.
"I actually want to teach people who bully what they really do and how it affects them," he continued, as reported by the NY Post.
Cases of bullying occurred several times and caused the loss of lives of innocent children. Supervision from the school must be carried out strictly so that this bad behavior does not continue to become a more serious crime in the future.
