        Perhaps she should take a look at the choices she’s making in life. By not taking any responsibility for placing herself in the situation she will never learn

        She made a mature decision to get there and say NO! Her friend was the one who pushed her. Not her fault at all.

        She clearly said no, twice if I’m not mistaking, and then the “friend” makes a decision for her by pushing her off. You don’t do that. If someone says no, they mean no...

        wrong she said she was going off the bridge feet first. It says NO jumping on the bridge. Its 2 stupid people in the video not 1. If she never went over the top to the edge she would not be in that position to get pushed off. I don't understand why people are stick up 4 stupidty

        She might have wanted to think twice before standing on the edge of a bridge too. Just because all your friends are jumping off a bridge...

        Not the victims fault. The person who pushed her shouldn’t have pushed her, period.

        Ya I get that but she was standing on the edge of a bridge in her swim suit, positioning her self to jump. She was planning on jumping. Her "friend" pushed her 1 sec. before she intended to go. So given the context, its not as bad as people are making it out to be.

        She had made the decision not to jump right before her friend pushed her because she was scared. But her friend pushed her anyway.

        second decisions with out thinking. Pushing your friend into a body of water (that they were intending to jump in any way) is not as evil as some people are making it out to be. Of course I dont know who the girl is, her intentions or anything. She could very well be a fucking

        She said No multiple times in the video and wanted to go back onto the bridge. If she jumped on her own she would have been fine, if she went back on her own she would have been fine. BECAUSE she was shoved, she fell side first, unprepared, unwilling and nearly died

        She was not "just about to jump". She was clearly never going to jump, and everyone was trying to talk her into it. TALK her into it. Not Shove violently where she flips off the bridge.

        I’m so sorry you had to go through this. Unfortunately, most of us had to learn the hard way. Some #friends can be a complete stain on humanity & the very essence of #friendship. It’s supposed to be a responsibly beautiful journey. You don’t play the game. You don’t break #trust.

        I jumped off bridges as a kid same height . You don't push your friends. Though we were teenagers . We would never force someone. You count to three and just do it. If your feet don't perfectly hit the water at that height is guranteed to bruise your ribs.That height I wore shoes

        How to ruin someone's life for a seemingly accidental (with regards to injuries) situation. At 16 I would imagine she is definitely not in the position to be able to afford that, which could cause the entire future of the friend to be ruined.
