Wait, what? "Slut shaming"? The only thing that makes a slut a "slut" is that she's not one of the popular kids to begin with. This isn't at all about a peer group enforcing appropriate behavior, it's about yet another way in which an individual perceived to be weak is carved out from the herd for slaughter by sadistic wolves needing to feed their own ravenous egos.

If, instead of killing herself, this poor girl had actively fought back, she would have been ostracized for her "disproportionate response" and would now be in mandatory treatment for her "emotional imbalance". One step further out on that spectrum is "the trench-coat mafia". The only way to survive is to "just endure it" until you go off, far, far away to college, and hope nobody follows you there on Facebook.
