Alexis Pilkington – Age 17
Alexis Pilkington was a Senior at West Islip High School who was bullied incessantly online. Cyberbullying is what that is called. Her mean-spirited classmates posted unflattering and simply mean content on both on “Facebook” and the less known, but perhaps more dangerous “Formspring.” Following her death, these commentaries continued, mocking Alexis on both forums.

This is awful. She was such a beautiful girl. How can kids be so cruel? I just don’t understand… I agree with Vickie. They were jealous slugs. I’m going to do what I can to stop bullying in my area. I was also bullied in school, I just wish she knew that the bullying wouldn’t last forever.
I am an African-American adult. As a child growing up in the 60’s my dad gave us the advice that if someone hit us, we had better hit them back or he’d take a strap to us. I have noticed that Caucasian kids seem to be more susceptible to bullying and suicides related because they are so sensitive. This kid is gorgeous and she had so much to offer the world. I was so struck by her presence in the photo. This bullying was the result of a bunch of jealous slugs. I guarantee that it was a hand-full of idiots who initiated it, most likely some girls. Satan is on an unwavering path to take out these kids before the come into the world by abortion or after they get here at the hand of abusive parents (not Lexi’s) or bullies. There is a concerted effort to obliterate the Millenial Generation and it seems to be working.
