Michelle Carter was sentenced to 15 months in prison for assisting in her boyfriend's suicide. Yes, you read that right: "15 months for assisting in her boyfriends suicide". I'm not sure what's more shocking, only getting 15 months in prison or that she actually played a part in her boyfriends suicide.

I don't know how many times I have to say suicide is not a joke. I don't know why that even has to be said.

For those of you who don't know, Michelle Carter is a bully. She persuaded her boyfriend into killing himself. I know what you're thinking: how can you persuade someone? Well, Google her case and you'll see just how.

I saw this story a few years ago on social media, but I thought it was fake. Now a few years later it popped up again. Turns out this story was disgustingly true. Photos of messages back and forth between Michelle Carter and her boyfriend are circulating around the internet. I don't know if they are real, but if they are they are disturbing. I assume they're real because Michelle was found guilty for assisting in suicide.

I don't know about anyone, but to me the messages look like she not only "assisted," but bullied him into following through with the act. When someone is that down where they feel like this is their only way out, they need to be told IT IS NOT. Instead, Michelle repeatedly persuaded him and rushed him. I can't even think of one crazy explanation that would lead her to do such a thing.

As we sat and waited to see how her case would turn out we were not prepared for the shocking 15 months in jail. 15 months. That's it. I believe this was homicide not "assisted suicide". If they charged her with that offense we'd be talking a more serve and very well deserved punishment. This reminds me of how flawed our justice system truly is. If anyone remembers the Casey Anthony case this case is another injustice for a life lost.
