Dolly

The world is becoming a cruel place day by day, this has been proven by the suicide of a beautiful 14-year old girl Amy Jayne Everett. Amy was known as "Dolly" among her friends and family and was the face of an iconic Australian hat manufacturing brand. The girl had a bright future ahead only to be destroyed by evil society.

Cruel Society Claimed Her Life

Dolly's parents didn't know that their innocent and beautiful child's life will be claimed because of the vicious online bullying that Dolly was facing. Unable to cope with the pain of cruel words that was inflicted on her by the strangers who didn't know her, who she was and what she was going through, Dolly decided to end her own life.

Death, The Only Escape

Devastated by his daughter's untimely departure, the grief-stricken father, Tick Everett took to social media to call out the cruel bullies who took away his daughter. Everett says that his daughter was going through so much pain that she found death as his only escape.

“I know for some suicide is considered cowardly but I guarantee those people wouldn’t have half the strength that my precious little angel had, Doll had the strength to do what she thought she had to do to escape the evil in this world. Unfortunately, Dolly will never know the great pain and emptiness left behind."

Let's Stop The Bullies

The grieving father said that he was not able to help his daughter but he won't let her death go to waste and will fight against cyber-bullying for Dolly's sake. "If by some chance the people who thought this was a joke and made themselves feel superior by the constant bullying and harassment see this post, please come to our service and witness the complete devastation you have created. Let’s stop the bullies no matter where, but especially in our kids, as the old saying goes. You will never know what [you] have until it’s gone."

Dolly chose to end her life last week due to bullying. She was not even 15 years old."

Bullying Of Any Type Is Unacceptable!

The post further read, "Dolly chose to end her life last week due to bullying. She was not even 15 years old. To think that anyone could feel so overwhelmed and that this was their only option is unfathomable. Bullying of any type is unacceptable. It is up to us to stand up when we see any kind of bullying behaviour. Dolly could be anyone's daughter, sister, friend. We need to make sure that anyone in crisis knows there is always someone to talk to. Be a friend, check up on your mates. Our hearts go out to her family and friends.
