Sladjana Vidovic, Eric Mohat: Mentor High School Bullying

Sladjana Vidovic, Eric Mohat, Meredith Rezak and Jennifer Eyring All Attended Mentor High School in Ohio and Now They Are All Dead

Two families, including Sladjana Vidovic's family are now suing the school district containing Mentor High School, saying that the school did little to prevent the bullying they say drove their children to suicide. This lawsuit comes on the heels of national news stories telling the tale of students like Tyler Clementi, Asher Brown, Seth Walsh and Raymond Chase, who all took their own lives after being bullied.

Sladjana Vidovic was 16-years-old in 2008 when she hung herself by tying one end of a rope to her bed, the other around her neck and then jumped out her bedroom window. This came after she endured hours of bullying at Mentor High School. Students reportedly mocked her Croatian accent, and called her names like 'Slutty Jana' or 'Slut-Jana-Vagina'. One boy reportedly pushed her down the stairs and another girl hit her in the face with a water bottle.

Even at her funeral her family said they saw the girls who had tormented her, walk up to Sladjana's casket and laugh at her dead body.

She had withdrawn from Mentor about one week before she killed herself.

Her parents say the school had promised to take care of their daughter, but they say the school cannot retrieve any of the records because they were apparently destroyed during a computer switch.

Eric Mohat

Eric Mohat also attended Mentor High School and was bullied for his flamboyant nature, style of dress and the fact that many thought he was gay. His family and friends say he was not, but that did not stop fellow students from calling him names such as 'homo' and kicking him in the head.

He shot himself on March 29 2007 and in 2009 the parents sued the school district, but the lawsuit is on hold while the Ohio Supreme Court considers where the state law stands in regards to this case.

Meredith Rezak

Just three weeks later, Meredith Rezak shot herself; she was a good friend of Eric's and just before her death she had told family and friends that she though she might be gay. She had also joined Mentor's Gay-Straight Alliance.

Friends say that Meredith was bullied a little, but no one knew how much it was getting to her.

Her mother does not think Meredith was bullied to death and a friend of hers told the AP that school bullying did not play a role in her death.

One year after her death her brother Justin killed himself and then in March 2010 her only other brother Matthew died from a drug overdose.

Jennifer Eyring

Jennifer Eyring was 16-years-old when she killed herself in 2006, and although her mother had pulled her out of Mentor High School, she thinks that if her daughter had not been bullied, then she would still be alive today.

Jennifer suffered from a learning disability and had a hearing problem and her mother says that students used to bully her constantly because of that. They do not hold the high school responsible, but they want to bring the issue to light so that other families do not have to suffer the pain they have.

Mentor High School has not commented on the lawsuits, or the four students' deaths, but the AP spoke to some of the school's current students.
