I should've posted about this when the story was first brought to my attention. I apologize for the delay in getting it to you. On September 23 I received the following wall post on my facebook page:
My daughter was 15 when she took her life on May 20, 2011 due to bullying. This has forever changed our lives. Danielle had plans to attend The Art Institute of Denver after graduating. She was in ROTC Airforce program and played soccer for her high school. She had so much to be proud of, a 6 yr. old brother , a 4 yr old sister and a wonderful future. However, words hurt and cannot be erased. It is my families mission to help stop bullying. We are working with schools in our parish to adopt policies for bullying. Also, we are working to develope a stronger anti-bullying law in the state of La. I will not stop until something gets changed. Join our fight and support "Smiles for Danielle" group on fb. An awareness group for bullying and teen suicide. http://www.facebook.com/groups/173225196067230/
The link below is to an article in our local paper it tells Danielle's story

The parents have already told her story beautifully in the article from their local paper, so I will not try to recreate the story for you. I encourage you to read Danielle's story and pass it on. It just goes to show that the actions of 1 can have a greater impact then the actions of a 50.
