Amanda’s error caught up to her one year later when the bullying started, and from then on it continued to affect her mentally and socially, so much that she proceeded on moving schools various times. Her action was like a ghost, haunting her, following her wherever she went, leading her to harm herself in multiple ways. She “started cutting, drank bleach,” cried constantly, and she overdosed.
