R.I.P:"She Killed Her Self After Being Bullied In School"Says Her Father.
A teenage girl has killed herself after bullies
punched her, forced her into lockers and
stuffed her in trashcans, her devastated
family has said.
Elizabeth Nicole Evans, 16, was found dead
at her family home in Gloucester, Virginia
last week after she endured relentless
bullying at the hands of fellow high school
students, her father said.
Michael Evans said he was aware of the
torment she suffered at Goucester County
High School, where she was in the 11th
grade, but had no idea just how much she
was hurting.
Photographs on her Facebook page show
an apparently vivacious teenager who loved
wearing brightly-colored clothing and
spending time with friends. Her family has
not revealed how she died.

'She was very good at hiding things,' her
friend Taylor Hall told WAVY. 'She was
hurt, but she didn't show it.'
Mr Evans, who is mourning the loss of his
only daughter with his wife Samantha and
their son Joseph, said the teasing had gone
on for years.
'My daughter has been punched, my
daughter has been put in lockers, she has
been stuffed in trash cans and she was
tripped going down the hallway,' he said.
'What disgusts me is that my daughter
looked at everybody the same. She saw the
beauty in all of them. They didn't treat her
that way.'

He said he had approached staff at the
high school but nothing improved for his
daughter.
'They could have stepped up,' Evans said.
'They could have done something.'
Ben Kiser, superintendent of the school
district, passed along his condolences to
the family but told MailOnline that he did
not have information backing up the
father's claims.
But he added: 'Gloucester County Public
Schools provides safe and orderly
environments for students to learn and
grow. We take claims of harassment and
bullying very seriously and respond to any
in a timely manner.'
Mr Evans said that he hopes the tragic
passing of his daughter can be a lesson to
other teenagers who are struggling at
school. He said there will always be
someone to listen.
'I won't wish this on my worst enemy,' he
said. 'I never felt pain like this before.'

Friends paid tribute to Evans, known as
'Lizzy' at school, at a memorial service
where they poured over displayed pictures
of her and released balloons.
Her obituary noted that he was a top
student and 'a fun-loving young lady who
enjoyed spending time with her many
friends. She was a free spirit, and a rescuer
of friends.'
It added that she enjoyed four wheeling,
riding motor cycles and watching movies.
Her father added on Facebook: 'I will miss
you always and you will forever be in my
heart! I love you and am so proud of you
and the young lady you have become! Rest
in peace my little angel, we will be together
again some day!'
May Her Gentle Soul Rest In Peace(Amen)
