Police rule out bullying for teen suicide
Numerous interviews with close friends and family members have yielded no proof that torment from fellow teens caused Amanda Cummings, 15, to kill herself two days after Christmas, multiple law-enforcement sources said. “No one had any previous signs of her being bullied,” said one source with knowledge of the case. A 15-year-old girl who had been friends with Cummings since the age of 3 told investigators that her friend fell hard for boys and took breakups very badly, sources said. She also said Cummings had recently been drinking and smoking heavily, the sources added.
A despondent Staten Island girl who committed suicide by jumping in front of a bus last month was not bullied by her classmates, a police investigation has found.

Soon after, everyone went back to NJ but how long will Vinny stick around?
