ROSS, Ohio - Courtneylyn likes taking pictures and shooting videos.
"Everyone thinks I'm a happy person because I'm always helping people and and I'm always making people smile," she says.
But for this Ross High School senior, that image was a facade.
"People find it so cool to make fun of me and to put me down and make me feel like I'm not worthy of anything," she said in a video she posted Tuesday. In the video she bares a bullied and tortured existence.

It is also so sad that she felt so much despair.
I'm sure many of us can remember what our teenage years were like and they were definitely difficult enough without bullying. I am amazed at how well some children and young adults are able to cope.
