My idea is to interview Yarraka Bayles the mum of Quaden Bayles in hopes to spread awareness for bullying her.
I really want to interview Yarrka because I have done a lot of research on her and Quaden’s case.
have messaged her on instagram in hopes that she agrees to do the interview.
I have saw other videos about people who have committed suicide like a girl called Rosalie Avilla. This has made me want to do an interview to Yarraka Bayles because the case of her son crying saying that he wants to kill himself makes me believe that the educational system could do more in helping kids like Quaden.
