Every year it seems like bullying is becoming more and more relevant in our school systems. Since his death, a GoFundMe account has been set up to raise money for his family. So far its raised $16,731 and has a goal of $26,000. A candlelight vigil was also held for Shelby yesterday.

Let’s stop the senseless violence and come together as a community. No one should walk this earth and feel disrespected to the point where they want to take their life. If you want to make a donation click the link here.
