This is not the total truth Amanda is my friend and the aledge shooter was also my friend amanda was seen by me alive walking to the restroom at 10:45. 11:00 we heard gunshots during "A" lunch she was anounced dead at 1:00 plz update this so people know the truth

I didn't know Amanda or her family, but I know Teah Wimberly's aunt.

I believe the handgun belonged to her grandfather...I know he is most likely deeply saddened by what she has done. The world is becoming more unsafe and people are becoming more vicious every day. Miami is filled with evil, cruel, selfish, violent people who have no respect for anyone.

I don't know what drove Teah to kill this beautiful young lady but she needs to be punished for her actions. She is a minor too, but she took another human life without considering the consequences.

I had C Lunch. We didn't know nothing, we were just scared because of the lockdown. When I walked to C Lunch my friends told me what happened with Amanda. I still cannot believe in this. And I'm not sure what the cause was of this shooting. Racisim, or something else?

Now i dont know anyone here but i pray to god that this young lady who shot this young woman prays. i want god to forgive her and allow her to be forgiven. she took a life, a precious life. a nurse, or lawyer, a dancer, model, teacher, sister,friend,daughter. she took someone away from all of us. when i herd this today i cried, i dont know them but it could have been my sister who goes to piper whch is not too far away and just that thought weakened my heart. for the familt of this young woman i give you my prayer and a hug, and my tears that will help your hearts mend. the devil is strong and teana woke up this morning without god in her heart and the devil did this.it shows ppl how short life is and violence will not stop your troubles only god will. i know my thoughts are jumbled but i had so much tosay. im just soo sorry. rest in peace amanda we know what happened to you, and we hope u felt minimal pain. god be with you and we will see you when we get there. please forgive your killer .

it sucks miserbly to know day, after day someone is loosing their life over an ARGUMENT. i dont know what exactly happen, & i dont know neither of the victims, but i just pray for each family and that they forgive each other for what ever the reason of this unfortunate , unsuspected departure of both girls.
i send my condolenses to both families, both has now lost two girls.

I dont know Amanda but my friends do and i was on myspace and my friends had r.i.p amanda!! I was going 2 attend dillard for dance but i ended up moving to atl and i know if i attend dillard maybe me and amanda would have been close friends but i will pray for the colletes family you lost a daughter but just remember she lives in you ,she is your angel! i am not going to say things will get better because i dont know how it feels to lose a love one and i cant even imagine the pain you feel !but if you keep your head up i can promise you that one day Amanda Collete will open the golden gates for you!she might had pass away but it is up to you to keep her alive!Celebrate her life and start a charity "Amanda(angel)Collete fundraising"i would sure be glad to help i just hope you guys get through this ....R.I.P Amanda Collete you are your parents purple star maybe your to precious thats why god needs you right now so help your parents through the pain

They were both gay (well Amanda was bisexual)...however Amanda did not want to be with Teah, and Teah got really angry and shot her. This has nothing to do with 'race' and everything to do with people not knowing how to deal with rejection..not to mention homosexuality among the youth.

@Laine...Seriously?OMG.I saw Teah's face in the cop car,and she showed absolutely NO remorse! I hope she doesn't get off scott free with a slap on the hand and/or Probation!I want to see this girl locked up!

I am saddened by what has occurred and the motive of Teah's Action that took someones life. I don't know what is happening with the youth of today. Homosexuality is a SIN. The youth today are embrassing it like it is okay. Part of the blame is that of a society who has forgotten the laws of GOD and made up their own. It is forbidden,nothing good will come of something that GOD has deemed a sin. Ladies you have got to stop allowing peer pressure to get you involved with unrighteous behavior. If you are weak and fear exceptance you will become a follower and loose your morals. Do not allow anyone to change your views on right and wrong. If you question what is right and wrong don't let someone else tell you. Research it yourself. Keep God as your Guide. Follow his rules and the life of your religious prophet whom ever it may be. Whether it is Jesus Muhammad, Moses, Ibrahim, etc. You all must stop this ludacris behavior, it will only make your life miserable. God made a heterosexual mate for everyone. It may not be who we want or choose but GOD is the best of planners and he knows all. I hope that all the youth will use this mishap as yet another example of what unmoral behavior leads to. Make changes in their lives for the better and try to do righteous and good deeds everyday of your life. Because, the death angel is always busy. Don't let this angel come at a time when you life is not following the righteous path. GOD bless all of you and I am praying for the families of all involved. This story has touched my heart deeply. I spent endless hours watching news clips, and viewing web sites of these girls and Dillard HS. You all have a special program that enables you to express yourself through you various talents.I see love among students of all races in the videos.You all are supposed to protect one another from others. I command that all animosities, and anger be banished among you all. Become each others keeper. Focus on your futures and how you want to make a positve impact on society. YOU CAN DO IT.
My Ohio Family's heart goes out to you all....

NiNi, you are entitled to your beliefs on homosexuality, but the reality is that we've seen all too often that heterosexual relationships end in this way as well. If it's true that one wanted a relationship and one didn't, then it still has nothing to do with their sexuality, and everything to do with "domestic violence" the inability to accept rejection and rage. It's a tragedy all around.

Well this how i feel about the situation i dont matter what amanda or teah was wats wrong is wrong so she need to be punished like anyone else would

Soobs, you are right about one thing... heterosexual relationships do end this way. However, I am bothered by the fact that all you got out of what I said was my opinion of homosexuality. First it is not my opinion, It is GOD's word. We do not have a say in what is right. GOD does, and no matter how much we want to justify what he has forbidden we can't. What I want the youth to get from my message is that we have to embrace what is Righteousness. We have to focus on our futures, and make decision that will position us to be successful. As far as I am concerned youth are getting involved in romance at a time when it means nothing. They will take different roads as they get older that won't even involve people they have so called be romantically involved with during school ages. Not only that, unnecessary conflicts occur that interrupt the educational process. I could go on and on about why it is better to wait until you become a young adult before getting involved in a relationship. Please read what I have written previously again. Skip the part about sexuality, I hope that you can then relate to my real message. NiNi PS I am a Teacher Myself and I am genuinely concerned about the youth today. Times are tougher for you all then they were for me and I feel that you are being cheated out of your childhood by too many adult indulgences. TAKE YOUR TIME

NiNi, it's disheartening to believe that because I focused on one aspect of your comment, you assume I didn't read any of it. And please...you don't know me...you don't know my beliefs on homosexuality, or God or God's word. Also, EIGHTEEN of your 29 sentences, had to do with how homosexuality is wrong in God's eyes. Clearly, your last post was "your opinion of homosexuality."

Again, this crime is about more than the two parties sexuality.

NOTE FROM STEVE: Soobs, I'm sure NiNi is sincere, but it is probably fruitless to even try any kind of debate here. I wouldn't bother, myself.

NiNi,self righteousness and your ability to be brain washing is a "symptom".Seek Help!I don't you are in any position to be "commanding" anything of another soul on this planet.Seek help right away,people of your mentality usually end up doing the stupidest things.

well I think that the person talking about god is wright, people does not know what god says is his word, and not being religious but really there is too much freedrom in this country and girl think that is normal to be homosexual, I don think god is too happy to see that people think, because god is real he is not hidden somewhere he is watching the whole universe i know many leave him out of there lives, ignore that he is there trying to justify homoxesulity as normal but it is not, please soobs i know probably you dont believe in god but this world is going crasy with all that freedom and kids needs to know that god created man and women to be together, I love homosexual but hate sin, please understand, search for god and be verycareful of what you say to your kids,

PikeMom, Soobs:

Explain to me how NiNi's comments reflect self-righteousness or her own personal beliefs? So what if she believes in the Bible and God's word? How does that make her self-righteous? In God's eyes, homosexuality IS wrong.

Furthermore, what do ANY of your personal beliefs about any of this crap have to do with the real issue? A girl was MURDERED at school- that is the REAL problem here. So stop with the ridiculous online bickering and agree that it is a tragedy that a life was lost.

Geez, if I read one more online comment page where people start arguments with one another, I am going to scream! This is a place to POST YOUR COMMENTS, not ARGUE ABOUT WHO IS RIGHT!!

Rest in Peace, Amanda.

WOW i am in total shock right now. People send their kids to school to get an education so they can better themselves. who would have ever thought that by doing that you can possibly put your childs life in danger. i graduated in 2004 and i remember school being one of the safest places to be. you go to school to stay out of trouble not to get into trouble. I know this child is a youngin but she is still old enough to understand the difference between right and wrong. with that being said this child needs to be locked up for the rest of her life ....i pray for both the victims and suspect family. R.I.P. Amanda!

"please soobs i know probably you dont believe in god "

LOLOLOLOLOL...okay...you "know" me so well....

Sharon - I never said nor thought that NiNi was "self-righteous." As to this - "Furthermore, what do ANY of your personal beliefs about any of this crap have to do with the real issue? "

Uh....that was KINDA MY POINT. Thanks for making it.

this is so depressing. i don't go to dillard, but i went to middle school with amanda and we still talked everyday up to the day before she was murdered.
she was like a sister to me.

I would just like to send mine and my family's heartfelt condolences to both families. We send our children to school thinking this is one of the safe places for them and unfortunately too many get that dreaded phone call that something has happened. My son's school plays Dillard in football so I think this make this situation seem closer than most. I don't know either student of family but having a High School student, it just kinda brings it home that this can happen to any of us. I just pray that God will bless both families and help them all heal.

@Sharon...To begin with,It's about her righteous indignation and how she/he comes up here trying to shove her thoguhts and DEMANDS upon all.Don't you know that "anything that is forced upon one,is surely to be a regrettable experience"???BUT NiNi's comment seems borderline on the meantally disturbed side.If one has to feel so needed by "the invisible" to feel complete,then by all means have at it.We all do not share her "type" of Bible brainwashing nor do many care for her to come up here and "command" a damn thing from uS !!! Maybe you should have read my first comment a little closer or maybe even read NiNi's.

To all of you who have taken what I have said and gone in another direction with it. I am sorry if anyone has been offended by what I have said, clearly you have taken my words and twisted them into a pretzel. I am definitly not one who is about arguing etc. I am upset about what has happened to two children, their families, friends, school, and the loss of their contributions to humanity. Yes, my original comment talked about homosexuality because it was the root of the conflict between these two children. If it would have been about something else my comments would have been about that issue. The fact of the matter is that I was trying to reach out to the youth today and express how precious their lives are. I want them to understand that life is too complicated not to include laws of morality. And that when these laws are left out, how lives become a mess. I am calling for a truce with anyone that I upset because clearly that was not my goal. As far as being righteous, I do not claim to be righteous or perfect. I do try to morally sound decisions, and sometimes those decisions are not what I'd like them to be. But I find that when I go against the grain of GOD's prescribed rules that things fall apart. I find that if I do something that doesn't feel right, that things go wrong or someone gets hurt. Sobbs, thanks for pointing out to me that 1/2 of the sentences I wrote talked about homosexuality. I was a bit dissapointed about that until I realized that 50% of what I said will help the youth see what I was really trying to convey. That is to make morally concious decisions, do youthful things and not adult things, focus on accomplishments that will make you productive adult citizens later in life. Again to the families of those involved, I hope that you recieve peace, and all the support that you need to help you through this awful time. No one is more touched by what has happened to these girls than you all. May GOD grant you the strenght and courage to endure what is yet to come. NiNi, ps.. Not mad, arguing,bickering etc just hoping I can help 1 youth find their way through the darkness of this world.

NiNi,once again it's NOT about Homosexuality.It's about one girl not being able to control her emotions and her ability to steal the gun from her Grandfather.Dillard is right smack in the middle of thug town.I know I would not let my white child even think of mingling with such.This is what happens,now or later.

Pikemom, I was not going to even reply to what you have said about me but you seem to have an issue with what I have said to the point of labeling me as????? The fact that you think that what I have said is brainwashing makes me think that you have issues yourself. You don't know me nor can you diagnose my sanity, religious stance or my intentions. Frankly, you are the one who seems to be a little imbalanced and in need of a sanity check. If you don't like what I have said than do not take anything from it. People like you who can not see what is right in front of your eyes are the ones who make stupid decisions like the one you made when you decided to personally attack me. As far as my statement that included the word "command" you obviously did not understand that I was trying to convey the urgency of the youth making changes in their lives so that things like senseless murders do not happen. And where did I mention the word BIBLE. I only mention GOD"S Prescription of LIFE. My message is for those who wish to recieve it, If you don't like what I said then don't give it a minutes thought. Keep doing you. NiNi

Vicki Again, I DO NOT CARE WHAT IT WAS ABOUT. I am most bothered by the fact that A CHILD IS DEAD AND ANOTHER IS GOING TO LOOSE HER FREEDOM, THEIR FAMILIES ARE TORN APART AND THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY HAS BEEN DISRUPTED. THAT IS THE MAIN POINT OF EVERYTHING I SAID. I WANT THE YOUTH TO RECOGNIZE WHAT BAD DECISIONS CAN RESULT IN. AND THE IMPORTANCE OF MORALS AND VALUES GET IT???? AS FAR AS WHERE THE SCHOOL IS THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. THE MOST FAMOUS SCHOOL SHOOTINGS HAVE OCCURRED IN WELL TO DO WHITE SUBURBS. I'M NOT SURE IF YOU KNEW THIS OR NOT BUT AMANDA IS A BIRACIAL CHILD NOT WHITE. TALK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT HAPPENED. RACE OR WHERE THE SCHOOL IS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. AND I HOPE NO ONE IS GOING TO TRY AND MAKE THE SITUATION ABOUT RACE BECAUSE THAT HAS NOT BEEN CONVEYED AS A PART OF THE EQUATION NY THE NEWS, SCHOOL OR ANY OTHER SOURCE.

Nini, you understand nothing about morals and values. If you did, you wouldn't use a tragic murder case to promote your own agenda.

Someone lost their daughter on Wednesday. There can be no greater pain than losing a child. As parents, we are expected to protect our children, from others and themselves as well. At these girls' young age,responsibility and consequences rarely play a role. It is up to us, as parents, to ensure our kids aren't going to school with a weapon...especially a gun. My daughter is 12 years old, and I check her bag (which is more like a suitcase), daily, to ensure she's not leaving the house with anything not related to school work. A bit extreme maybe, but since I can't control anyone else from bringing a gun to school, I don't have to experience the pain of having my daughter arrested for shooting anyone. I hope they pursue the gun's owner in this matter. Someone was very careless, and the end result is irreversible and final.

My prayers go out to both families, as 2 girls live are being lost...and it was preventable.

Vickie - you had me until your last two sentences: "I know I would not let my white child even think of mingling with such.This is what happens,now or later." You wouldn't let your white child mingle with what exactly? Violent acts happen every day to every race.

Soobs - I get you my friend. Thank you for speaking up.

My thoughts and prayers go to Amanda's family and friends. No one deserves the pain they must be feeling. RIP Amanda.

soobs, im totally in sync with u. nini, wow u r intitled to ur own opinion but if u really think about it god says in the 6th commandment thou shall not kill, in the 8th commandment tho shall not steal. nowhere does it say nething about homosexuality. yes thats against gods will but overall this girl committed a sin. now im not all trying to all holy and such cuz i could give 2 fucks but if ur gonna start using god in the situation dnt just focus it on homosexuality but murder and theft as well. i kno ur a teacher and all and ur trying to save todays youth but ur just 1 person. im 19 and i could care less what people think of todays youth, yes its bad but think about other youth who are in college such as myself and trying to better themselves. this is just one case where this girl took actions b4 using her head and i feel for her bc not only has she destroyed her life and takin another but those of her family as well. how does he mother feel? how does amanadas mother feel. so stop with the narrow minded self centered antics.

rip amanda

NINi,apparently you DO care.AND,I still say if you care enough about your child no matter the color of their skin you would think twice maybe even three times about allowing said child to mingle in that neighborhood.Yes,my grown children are white,but if the were whatever,I would make sure I used all my resources before allowing such an enviroment for growing children.Let them grow in areas,where speech is correct,posture is of a gracious nature.Fix your kids where they can get jobs other than the local IGA by the time they are out of college.You are a product of the company you keep.

look--

Everyone's getting very sidetracked, when it's really quite simple.

Given that this has Nothing to do with race..

Soobs- you're right. This has to do with two people, one of which was unable to handle rejection and responded with rage. It is as simple, and unfortunate, as that.

NINi- Whilst I do happen to share a somewhat related religious affiliation with you, our commonalities end there. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a strong understanding of religious literature pertaining to your particular denomination, but to assume these beliefs hold any water for the others involved in this conversation is wrong. You may practice a literal interpretation of the Bible as you wish, but once you start to interpret the beliefs and behaviors of others in accordance to your finite list of rules, you cross the line. Homosexuality is a sin... in Your religion. Homosexuality is also wrong.. in Your religion. YOUR religion is not OUR religion, and YOUR religion is not THE religion. Believe it or not, there are a great many who believe homosexuality is NOT wrong, but a part of who a person is.

Quote: "I hope that all the youth will use this mishap as yet another example of what unmoral behavior leads to"

I find it difficult to even conjure the words to describe the frightening ignorance represented in this statement. If you were a public official, you'd be fired.

You feel the need to spread the word, and preach to the youth to avoid "morally wrong decisions," but here again you are ASSUMING homosexuality to be morally wrong... which it is.. to YOU. Starting to get the picture? This is what it feels like to consider other points of view, even one's you don't agree with. Feels good doesn't it?

To understand and accept another with a different belief system is a good thing. It matures you as a person, and develops your relationship with Your God into a deeper, more rewarding experience. Nothing will solidify your personal beliefs more than understanding, accepting, and not trying to convert, those who do not believe exactly as you do.

Good luck explaining all of your 'judgments' of others on Judgment Day.

I am sadden to think that the two young ladies did not or thought they could not have communicated with anyone to resolve their issues. We have to the open the door for good dialogue with our young people. I am so shocked by this. I loved Amanda like my own. I had the pleasure as we often did of having her visit just this past weekend. I cringe to think of ever receiving such devastating news after dropping my daughter off to school to receive an education, not a death sentence.I encourage everyone reading this to petition their child to talk to adults more, and share informaton. This could have been prevented, and this I am sure. However, we are still allowing ourselves (young people) to have so much privacy with Myspace, texting, diaries, journals or friends that we have not taken the time to find out what is going on. I love my child, and want to see her grow up free of negative influences, or hurt and harm. The reality is this, we have to take more time out to get to know our children. I mean really get to know them. This would include the friends family, the friends friend, and most of all, the special thing or void that is missing within the household that sends our youth out convincing them that it is more exciting and rewarding to pursue this private, hidden, and secretive life called "My Friends". I do not feel we should allow our children to grow up making mistakes if avoidable. There are some mistakes that one can not take back. A promising life and future is one of them. Parents, adults, young adults, and children let's get involved, and save a life.
May God continue to bless the Collette family during this time.

I feel very discouraged about Amanda. I may not know her, and I may not be in high school, but still. I hope Amanda had a very very nice life, and I hope she will have a great experience in Heaven. May lord take care of her. No, I'm not a adult.

"The reality is this, we have to take more time out to get to know our children. I mean really get to know them. This would include the friends family, the friends friend, and most of all, the special thing or void that is missing within the household that sends our youth out convincing them that it is more exciting and rewarding to pursue this private, hidden, and secretive life called "My Friends".

On this, I agree completely. While "MySpace" may not have anything to do with what happened, a lot of children these days, have WAY too much secrecy. I am "friends" with my child, nieces, and nephews. I know my child's passwords, but I do not check on him, he's never given me a reason to. I HAVE checked on my stepdaughter, who gave me EVERY reason to worry. I know my child's friends....heck, they are over here all the time. I know their parents.

As parents, it is our responsibility to communicate well with our children and to know where they are. Again, I am not convinced that this was a problem with Amanda and Teah, but I'm just saying it's a good idea.

r.i.p amandaaaaa We love you friend you went away very rapid without saying good-bye but from here we will surprise you seras nuetras friend for simpre I love you very much amanda because you took her to yourself god because

come on guys! get it 2getha! The situation here is not about us so stop the arguing! It's about 2 beautiful girls that now have ruined lives. Amanda did not deserve to die but teah did not deserve to have her feelings toyed with. (If you know the real situation, which I do, then you understand what I mean by "toyed" with.) Teah should be punished but at the same time she should also be helped, because anyone that knows this young lady, which I do, knows that she is not at all mentally stable. And anyone that knew Amanda, which I also did, knows that she was just like any other teen and had her down falls, one being her unfortunate actions toward/with Teah. I wish that the two could have worked out their relationship in a different way, sparing a good life.

rip amanda & I pray that Teah gets help and lives on to lead a much better life.

WELL I GO TO THE SCHHOL THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED:IT WAS AROUND 10 SOMETHING WHEN AMANDA HAD ASKED TO GO TO THE RESTROOM THE TEACHER LET HER SO HER FRIEND TEAH CAME ALONG TO.NO BODY HEARD ANYTHING EXCEPT AN ARGUMENT A FEW MINUTES PAST AND THERE WAS A LOCKED DOWN EVERYONE GOT FRIGHTENED THEN THE SPEAKER WENT DOWN AND ANOUNCED HER DEAD EVERYONE WAS IN SHOCKED AND THEY WERE SCARED CAUSE THEY HADNT FIND TEAH YET AND THEY FINALLY DID IN A RESTAURANT AND SHE IS LOCKED NOW THE ONLY THING PEOPLE CAN DO IS PRAY FOR HER.

R.I.P AMANDA
WE WILL MISS YOU!!!!!:(

Don't pray for the soulless. The fate of these things was sealed long ago.

Pray for Amanda, her loved ones, and all those who have and will cross the path of the soulless.

I believe what happened to amanda was not right and just because she rejected someone, to me i feel its a stupid reason to shut someone, its not like if it was the in the future you would be destined togheter, what she did was unnessary, and i agree with Nini and Soobs. I also wll pray for her family, and god bless.

I know that everyone is entitled to say what they like but the thing is isn't this whole forrum/comment supposed to be about the girls and what happened but not debating about someones beliefs.

laine is righte. My friend amanda grace collette was bi sexual and the fact that she was attracted teah. teah liked amanda but amanda liked my other friend(in which i will not say her name). teah didnt like that so teah confronted her. Teah was known to do crazy things when it came to rejection. She once slapped my friend candace because candace admitted to her that she wasnt gay. so this incident doesnt really shock me,but is does hurt that my little friend(that i happen to talk to the morning she died)is gone and i will no longer see her again. but teah stated(before she shot the gun)...."if i cant have you, NOBODY can...." and those where the last words amanda heard before she was fatally killed. This is the TRUE STORY......thank you for reeading....R.I.P AMANDA. I LOVE YOU GIRL!!!!

teah is a bitch and she need to get ha ass shot i dont give a fuck about she wanting someone else to feel the pain because aint nobody shoot her so ha is amanda going to feel the same way she felt lol amanda dead teah still alive dats two different rrelations na i hope dat bitch stay in prison for the reest of her fucking life that shit dont make no DAMN SENSE.Amanda i hope you rest in peace and i dont even reall knw you but i know that in side she is a good person and always would be and is now in a better place!!

I AM A GAY GIRL AND I BELIEVE THAT TEAH HAD NO RIGHT TO KILL HER. GOD DOESNT LIKE UGLY AND TEAH WILL GET HERS I THINK TEAH SHOULD GET THE DEATH PENTALTY AND NOT NO LETHAL INJECTION BUT THE ELECTRIC CHAIR.

okay but heres the thing - you guys are arguing over people liking the same sex.. that shouldnt matter. a girl lost her life and all you giys care about is how its a sin. now ponder it for a minute - im pretty sure god would think about the death of this girl before the gender in which she likes

First of all yal is arguing bout stupid shit yea teah is wrong but yal is to sitin der wishin death on ppl karmaz a bitch teah will get wat she deserves lata in life or someday but yal tawkn bout she needs 2 die dat aint right n teah wasnt right fa shootin amanda i dnt know nan one of dem but readin yal comments i jus hada comment bak jus let da grah rest in peace dnt keep brangin da drama up i noe some of yal noe dem or both of dem but some of yal aint right god will handle teah da way he wants ha handled eitha da crakaz will give ha da death sentence or she willsit in jail n thank bout wat she did fa da rest of ha life obviously she already is if she turned ha self n but yea anyways

r.i.p amanda grah gets da peace u deserve dawg.....

Umm, I don't see anything wrong with Teah's belief of being a "homo". That is obviously her choice. What the MOST important thing here is to mourn for this child who never got to become who she wanted to because of not being GAY. If your child died and they posted a blog just for her, would you want people bickering on it? No, you would not. So, for the sake of Amanda(a girl I didn't even know)let's all focus on the real thing here, AMANDA.

P.S. To Laine: Amanda was not Bi or Gay. Teah was GAY and liked Amanda. Amanda was not Gay and did not wish to date girls. Teah then felt rejected and shot Amanda.

Amanda was an amazing friend. even in heaven I hope that she will remember all of her friends and Family who miss her very much.SHE WILL BE REMEMBERED FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amanda was my Friend.I cannot believe the consequences that she had to go through. Nobody should have to stand face to face with death just because of one person's actions. Teah on the other hand I did not know but i still cannot believe what she did to Amanda.Amanda was a great friend she will be missed by her friends and Family.I hope that God will accept Amanda into heaven because Amanda was a good friend& good people should deserve to go to heaven and to have god accept them.WE MISS YOU SO MUCH AMANDA.& WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH.WE MISS YOU WITH THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS.WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.YOU WERE A VERY LOVING AND CARING PERSON.R.I.P~AMANDA COLLETTE~

To NiNi...

You ever think that maybe God sent the homosexuals & others to this earth to teach people TOLERANCE!? Who cares what they do in the privacy of the bedroom!? THAT'S what scares people, not that they love each other.
And btw, I am also a teacher & while you ARE right, that relationships disrupt the school learning process it however contributes to the developing of maturity in the individual & teaches them about their beliefs, thoughts, opinions of themselves & others.

Forget about sexual preference (sexuality lies on a huge spectrum and everyone falls into their own place, even two woman sitting next to each other at church have very different sexual tastes) and angry lovers, if a gun were not so readily available we would be talking about maybe a fist fight at the worst. What a colossal waste of life. As a society, we just lost a wonderful young person (probably two) that would have worked for probably 50 years generating capital, paying taxes, maybe supporting a couple members of our next generation, shopping, loving, laughing, educating, etc. That is a huge loss, a huge loss. And for what? The owner of the gun needs to be held responsible also.

When i heard the story, it saddened me so much.
I didnt know either of the girls, but from what i saw, Amanda was beautiful.
Its so sad that now nd days, kids have to resolve things in the most un-American ways.

Teah shoulda just got over the fact that Amanda aint want her! Point blank!
Now a family lost a beautiful little girl, and another lost theirs to the state prison.

Yupp, she got life in prison, and on a SECOND-DEGREE MURDER.. for all yall who said first.
No, its much more deeper than that.

God bless that child.

I am Amanda's cousin Kiera. Obviously I've known her my entire life. We were more than cousins. We were best friends. She told me everything and I told her everything. We shared our deepest darkest secrets with each other. The simple fact these people that do not really know her can get on and type up comments about her is awful. I know the real Amanda. I know what's in her heart. It's funny to me how people can say she is gay or bi-sexual and then right after say she rejected Teah. To me that sounds like something a striaght person would do. Either way it goes, no one deserves to be shot because of their choice of sexuality and who they will and will not date. Half the people that have so much to say about Amanda know so little. I know for a fact that Amanda wasn't bi-sexual or gay. We spent almost every living second together. We went over seas together. So if anyone was to know the truth about Amanda it would be me. Teah needed help and Amanda knew that, that's why Amanda didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore. My cousin was never known to get into altercations with other students or even outside friends. One night Amanda asked me, if you do not like somone like that, how can you tell them without hurting their feelings. She was so sweet and she went out of her way for others. The person she was reffering to was Teah. Teah told Amanda, "It's no way I'm letting you away this easy. I've wanted you for so long and now I get kind of close and you won't let me. No Amanda I won't let this happen." Amanda was only friends with Teah, btu as many of you may know Teach didn't take into friends very well. She felt the need to take the relationship further on. I still haven't forgiven Teach. I try, but it's still really difficult to do so. I do hope the best for her, because Amanda is in heaven danving while she is locked up. This was a total throw away of two lives.

The use of religion and God here is silly. What are we to take with us when we learn that God "allowed Jonesboro or Columbine?" "God allowed 9/11 because it was his will?" "God didnt like homosexuality so he allowed this to happen?" This or homesexuality has nothing to do with what God wants, allows, or doesnt want. God's word also disavows shell fish, so are we going to start protesting Red Lobster? Is it a sin to go to an Oyster Bake? C'mon people, Christianity is not predicated on the old testament scrolls. Outside of the Ten Comandments, the tenants of Christianity is built on the words and life of Jesus Christ, and he said nothing about Shell Fish, shaving your beard, abortion or homosexuality.....NOTHING. So stop with the silly self-righteous religios assumptions. These mean about as much as all the UFOs we see at night!
