Hope Witsell was brutally ridiculed after a topless photo of her began circling her school and others.

"The hallways were not fun at that time," friend Lane James told the St. Petersburg Times. "She'd walk into class and somebody would say, 'Oh, here comes the slut."

"Tons of people talk about me behind my back and I hate it because they call me a whore!" she wrote in her diary. "And I can't be a whore. I'm too inexperienced. So secretly, TONS of people hate me."

Unfortunately, She couldn't take the name calling and badgering anymore and resorted to end her life.

"I went upstairs to go in her room and kiss her goodnight. That was when I found her. I screamed for my husband. And started doing CPR." says mom, Donna Witsel

It was too late. Hope was already dead. She had used her favorite scarves to hang herself from her canopy bed.
