Rochelle Pryor, from Perth, took her own life after a cry for help on social media
A 14-year-old Aboriginal girl posted a cry for help on social media before she took her own life just hours later.
Rochelle Pryor, from Perth, wrote: 'Once I'm gone, the bullying and the racism will stop.'
Only one friend replied and later that night her father Geoffrey found her unconscious in her bedroom.
The schoolgirl died in hospital nine days later on January 10, making her the fifth Aboriginal girl to commit suicide in the past two weeks.
Her sister Kyanne described her as 'sweet, happy and funny' but said she was worried that her friends had 'turned against her' and said she was being bullied.
'She was really upset by it,' Kyanne, 17, told The Australian. 'There was racism involved - a lot of the time it was just random people who don't realise what they're saying.'
In August, Rochelle was involved in an altercation outside the school gates and came home with cuts on her legs.
Her mother said after that she didn't want to go in to school anymore and her mental health went downhill.
Friends paid tribute to the youngster, who loved animals and one day dreamed of going to university.

One fellow student wrote on Instagram: 'My vision is so blurry from my tears … come back please.
'The last day we were talking about what colour you should dye your hair and you were thinking about… blue or purple.
'If I knew that was your last day, I would do anything to stop you. I remember telling you whenever you weren't in the right mindset I would repeat telling you 'I'm always here for you'.'
The recent wave of suicides affecting the Aboriginal community include three cases in Western Australia, one in Queensland and one in South Australia.
In addition, a 12-year-old boy was treated in hospital in Brisbane hospital after a suicide attempt.
The five most recent cases began on January 3 when a 15-year-old from Western Australia who was visiting relatives in Queensland was admitted to hospital after self harming. She died two days later as a result of her injuries.
On January 4, in South Hedland in Western Australia, a 12-year-old girl took her own life, while two days later on January 6, a 14-year-old girl in the Kimberley region of the Northern Territory also died from suicide.
Head of the Federal Government's indigenous critical response team Gerry Georgatos said that poverty was major factor in the deaths but that sexual assaults were behind one-third of cases.
Indigenous lawyer Hannah McGlade has advised the UN High Commission for Human Rights in Geneva and said there is a clear link between child sexual assault, family violence, and the high levels of indigenous girls and women who were taking their own lives.
'Last year the UN highlighted the level of violence against indigenous women and girls in Australia and called for a specific national action plan,' Dr McGlade told The Australian.
'The people funded to provide suicide prevention plans are not properly addressing the level of sexual violence suffered by our women and girls.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
