Jared's story
Jared High was 12 years old when older students bullied him in his middle school. The bullying came to a head when a well known bully assaulted Jared inside his middle school gym. Because of the bullying and the assault, Jared began to show signs of depression, which included lack of sleep and emotional outbursts.

On the morning of September 29, 1998, just six days after his 13th birthday, Jared called his father at work to say good-bye. While on the phone with him, Jared shot himself, dying instantly.

As a healing project, Brenda began to write Jared's story, which is now published as www.jaredstory.com. Since 1999, JaredStory.com has attracted over two million visitors looking for information on bullying, depression, suicide and needing healing from the loss of a loved one.
