Family and friends are mourning the loss of a 12-year-old student at Copeland Middle School who tragically took her own life after being the victim of bullying, reported NBC New York.

Last week, Mallory Grossman, a cheerleader in Rockaway Township, New Jersey, committed suicide after being bullied on Snapchat, said friends. 

Family and friends told News 4 the young girl’s mother often complained to the school about the alleged bullying. Even on the day Mallory died, her mother went to the school to report the bullying.

On Monday, students at Copeland Middle School wore light blue clothing in order to spread awareness and stop bullying.

Although the school superintendent has not made a comment, the school district’s website says last year's anti-bullying assessment of Rockaway Township indicates strengths in the areas of curriculum and instruction, investigation procedures and incident reporting.

Mallory’s former gymnastics coach said she was a “sweet, smart, kind, quiet” child and teachers should be lookouts for troubling incidents.

“Teachers have to be vigilant, always,” coach Paula Gehman told News 4. “At any age, something is going to happen. Somebody’s going to push somebody around. Just stop it.”

A GoFundMe page set up for Grossman’s family has raised more than $65,000 to help with funeral expenses. Grossman will be laid to rest Tuesday.

The Morris County Prosecutor's Office says Grossman’s death is under investigation.
