Girl, 14, driven to suicide after vile bullies make sick taunts about her sick mum's appearance

A 14-year old-girl has tragically ended her own life after being subjected to relentless bullying over her mother's visible health issues.

Isabelle Vezina-Dykema was constantly harassed at Mill School where she had just started her first year of high school. The bullies cruelly taunted Isabelle about her and her mother's appearance. Her mum, Heather Miller, has been recovering from a complex brain surgery that left a noticeable mark on her face. 

On the day of the tragedy, Isabelle came home 'visibly shaken. ' Heather gave her daughter some space to process her feelings, unaware that her child was on the edge.  In just 35 minutes, their lives were turned upside down, reports the Mirror US.

Heather described the devastating half hour that changed their lives forever to WCAX, saying her daughter was "spunky, so outgoing [and someone who] loved to dance. She was excited about the school year, excited about being a freshman."

She added Isabelle told her: "'I'm finally in high school, I'm not going to let things bother me, I'm going to succeed'."

On September 15, Heather shared the heartbreaking news of their unimaginable loss with friends and family. "My world stopped today. We lost our precious Isabelle Vezina. I am forever changed. I can not and will not ever be the same without my baby girl. None of us will,' Heather wrote.

"Fourteen years with you wasn't even close to enough. I've always thought of myself as strong. Never have I felt so weak. I am consumed with a pain too immense to measure and too deep to heal."

Isabelle , from from Winooski, near Burlington in Vermont, US, was remembered in her obituary as an outgoing, bubbly, and energetic girl who loved sports, ice skating, baking, cooking, dancing, and making TikToks with family and friends. "Isabelle was a bright spark and destined to be a huge personality," the obituary read.

Heather found some comfort knowing that her daughter's organs were donated. "She saved 7 lives and gave a child sight. Her brain was received by autism research which is a near and dear cause to us," Heather revealed.

The Mill School, meanwhile, is looking into allegations of bullying but has not disclosed any details. "We, at the Mill School, have been devastated by the loss of one of our students. We are working with the appropriate agencies and continue to provide counselling support," officials stated.

The problem of teen suicides appears to be on the rise in Vermont, with at least one death reported annually among 14 year olds since 2019.
