Teenage girl, 14, takes own life after bullies beat her up in social media clip

A 'happy' and 'beautiful' teenage girl has tragically taken her own life two days after a clip of her being beat up by a group of young girls was posted on social media. Adriana Kuch, who is believed to have been a victim of 'severe bullying' for years, was found dead by her parents in her home two days after the awful assault on February 1.

In the 20-second video, the 14-year-old's cruel classmates were seen insulting, punching and kicking Adriana while pulling her hair, the Mirror reports. Other people could be heard laughing in the video as they stood by and recorded the vicious assault on the teen who attended Central Regional High School in Berkeley Township, New Jersey, US.

Three of the four teenage girls in the video have been charged with third-degree felony assault while a fourth was charged with disorderly conduct. Adriana's death and the humiliating clip has sparked fury among the community and her fellow students walked out in protest after teachers reportedly tried to cover up the truth.
