Students at a New Jersey high school protested by walking out of their classrooms, upset and angry over the suicide death of a 14-year-old classmate — and looking to draw attention to a pattern of bullying that they say the district is ignoring
His anger was reflected in the more than 200 students who protested via walkout throughout the school day, skipping class and demanding action. They were looking to draw attention to a pattern of bullying that they say the district is ignoring.
The demonstration didn’t end until the school day did. Local pizzeria owner Tony Fevola brought some pies with a strong message of support inside, but police wouldn't let him cross to the line of kids. Adriana seemed to have been an especially loved student. A neighbor shared video from last summer when a daughter appeared to be drowning in her backyard pool — that's when Adrianna jumped in to save the little girl.
