RACINE (WITI) — The death of a 14-year-old girl is bringing many issues to the forefront in Racine. 14-year-old Lexi Lopez took her own life over the weekend — and now, kids at Racine’s Horlick High School are mobilizing to start “The Lexi Project” — meant to tackle the issues of bullying and sexuality.
[…]
The pain Lopez faced, according to those who knew her, are the challenges of being a non-conformist — a transgender girl who sometimes preferred to be called Landon.

Friends say she was a victim of bullying.
It shouldn’t take a tragic death to stop bullying.
