- Patricia Reid: Did you come to gloat?
- Rachel Van Cleve: No, I just came to say that I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you're not feeling the pain that I'm going through, if anyone on earth knows how it feels it's me.
- Rachel Van Cleve: And I'm so sorry that you found my daughter so threatening to you, I don't know what it was about my sweet Dina that you found so threatening. I am so sorry you felt that way.
- Rachel Van Cleve: And lastly, I'm sorry that our friendship wasn't real. I hope Skylar's okay Patty, I will pray for that sweet child every night, but I will see you in court.
- Claire Stevens: Thank you all for being here today, as we all know this fall has been full of tragedy we have lost a- we have lost a senior member of the senior class. It's easy to say that Dina was responsible for her own death, but I think we all know the truth: bullying is poisonous, it pervades our schools, our society in horrifying ways. And today with anonymous communication we have via technology, it makes bullying that much easier. I'm gonna say it right now and no one in this room can deny it. Dina Van Cleve was bullied to death, she was not responsible, everyone in this room is responsible. Everyone who saw the text and passed it around, everyone who called her names, everyone who giggled when she passed by the halls. Everyone who didn't do everything to stop the cruelty that Dina had to endure. And I'm as guilty as the rest of you, even more so because I was Dina's best friend. What I am proposing today may be a small gesture, but I think the statement it is going to make is huge. I want everyone of us to take responsibility and give up our phones for the rest of the semester.
