Bullied NY teen Felicia Garcia jumps to her death in front of train as schoolmates look on in horror

A bullied Staten Island teenager threw herself under a train yesterday as her horrified classmates watched on.

Felicia Garcia, 15, sobbing, leaped to her death at around 3.15pm at the Huguenot Staten Island Railway station platform, which was packed with fellow Tottenville High School students.

The teen, who friends claimed had long been tormented by school bullies, in particular football players, tweeted on Monday: 'I cant. im done. I give up.'

The same day she posted photographs of herself on Instagram where she appears beaten and bruised, with her lips seemingly cut or sewn together. She added the hashtag 'beatup.'

A friend, Alissa Compitello, tweeted yesterday that the relentless bullying Felicia was dealt at school had driven the student to take her own life.

'SHE WAS BULLIED... SHE WOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT IF SHE WASN'T BULLIED,' the teen wrote.

Earlier, Compitello tweeted: 'All this girl wanted was to be left alone... and nobody could do that for her. #prayforfelicia.'

Another pal, Domenica Modica, said her father carried Felicia to the ambulance stretcher and tried to revive her before she was rushed to Staten Island University Hospital.

She was pronounced dead just before 5pm.

Friends claimed football players at the Staten Island school were behind the destructive bullying, claiming they targeted her because 'she looked different and had piercings'.

Felicia had hinted of her depression on social media, with posts becoming increasingly intense in recent days.

On her Instagram account, she had a picture of herself grinning with the word 'Depressed' covering her eyes. The caption read: 'Just because someone is smiling doesn't make them happy.'

On October 17, Felicia tweeted: 'I hate when peopl (sic) are in my buisness (sic), you dont even know whats going on, mind ya neck #Shot -_-'

She also wrote recently: 'Take me as I am or leave me as I was.'

According to The New York Post, Felicia lived in foster homes. Tweets suggest that her parents were dead, though occasional comments on her Instagram refer to her 'mother' as though she is alive.

'(She) had a terrible life on top of all the heartache — bullies at school taunted her and spread rumors,' Gabriella Leone, whose younger sister witnessed the incident, told The Post. 'I hope all bullies get punished!'

A Facebook tribute page 'RIPFeliciaGarciaStopBullying' has been set up for the girl and friends and well-wishers are tweeting about the shocking death using the hashtag 'RIPFeliciaGarcia.'

Luisa De Luca tweeted: 'Rest in the sweetest peace Felicia Garcia, you will always be in our hearts forever. You didn't deserve this..'

The NYC Department of Education said in a statement that Chancellor Dennis Walcott has reached out to the student's guardian and sent a crisis team to the school.

An emotional principal John Tuminaro called his students to break the news of Felicia's horrific death, which many were already circulating on their cell phones.

Felicia's friends are holding a candlelight vigil today at the station where she was killed, and are making bracelets to raise money for a memorial in the bullied teen's honour.
