16 years of the last words written in English and their country of Croatian origin, spoke of her daily torment at Mentor High School, where students made fun of his accent, mocked with insults like "slut Jana" and threw food against it.
It was the fourth time in just over two years that a bullied high school student in this small suburb of Cleveland on Lake Erie dead by his own hand - three suicide, an overdose of antidepressants. One was bullied for being gay, another for having a learning disability, another for being a guy who casually as the use of pink.
Now, two families - including Vidovics - are suing the school district, alleging that their children were bullied to death and the school did nothing to stop it. The claims come after a national series of suicides of high profile gay teens and others, and for a time of national awareness of what can be done to stop it.
If there has been soul-searching among the thugs in Mentor - a pleasant community on the beach which was voted one of "100 Best Places to Live" by CNN and Money magazine this year - the family was greatly Sladjana little of it in its passage in October 2008.
Suzana Vidovic found the body of his sister hanging over the front lawn. The family watched, he said, as the girls who had tormented for months Sladjana approached the coffin - and laughed.

At school, life was very different. She was ridiculed by his accent. Classmates hurled insults like "slut Jana" or "bitch," Jana "vagina." A boy pushed her down the stairs. A girl was hit in the face with a bottle of water.

"Sladjana stood by itself, but in the end she just kind of stopped," says his best friend, Jelena Jandric. "Because she could not handle the situation. She was not strong enough."
Vidovic parents say they requested the intervention of the school many times. They say the school was committed to look after her.
