After the Facebook page became expanding and many people joined the group Amy got worse and she started questioning herself why is she even alive and contemplated suicide. Amy stated: "I was very upset, words can't describe how upset I was. I thought everything had been taken away from me and I didn't know what to do. It made me so I didn't want to wake up in the morning. I didn't want to go to school or see anybody and it made wanting to carry on living very difficult. At one point I did want to take my own life". Amy's mother who is 45 years old and is a shop manager found about the hate group and she was very mad but couldn't do nothing. Her mom found out because Amy was crying when her mom picked her up at school and Amy told her everything about the hate group. Amy's mom, Lisa, started taking care of it, although, the school didn't take it seriously because the girl responsible for the hate group didn't have consequences and when Lisa had frequent meetings, the school board wasn't interested on Amy's problem. Then, Amy's mom reported the problem to the police and it took the police to come 24 hours but they never got back to them.
