Suicide took the life of a 17-year-old Buffalo girl on September 18. Bullying, according to her mother, was the reason.
Every single thing was her. A celestial being. An enchanting being,” Sarena Worthy gushed about Desire Williams, her daughter.
School 131 Alternative High School was Desire’s junior year in high school.
Her mom claimed her daughter started getting bullied when a male at another school sexually abused her.
According to Worthy, her daughter had mental health concerns and was the victim of bullying on multiple occasions, the most recent of which occurred on September 13 at her school.
In a subsequent meeting, Worthy and her daughter met with the principal after her daughter approached him. According to Worthy, the principal denied her request to transfer her daughter to another school.
According to a statement from the Buffalo Public Schools District, they looked into the mother’s accusation of bullying but came up empty.

There were no allegations of bullying at School 131 this autumn, according to sources informed by the police who spoke with 7 News.
Following Thursday morning’s burial service at True Bethel Baptist Church, dozens of mourners gathered outside Desire’s school to express their opposition to her death.
They called out her name and shouted “No justice, no peace” in her defense.
According to Worthy, the police and schools should do more to combat bullying and ensure that those responsible are held responsible.
Protesters watched a rainbow form around the sun while her mother and other organizers spoke to the media.
God spared one so that Worthy could save a million, he added.
