PETERSBURG, Va. (WWBT) - Bullying is all too common in our schools, and one mother says bullies at a Petersburg middle school nearly pushed her daughter over the edge. She said her daughter attempted suicide after being bullied by a group of students at Vernon Johns Middle School. “The group of girls were bullying her friends too on behalf of her, so she said to her friends via text messages,” a mom who wanted to remain anonymous to protect her family said.
