11-Year-Old Girl Dies Hours After Fight With Classmate Over Boy

February 27, 2012 at 8:39 am by Morbid

LONG BEACH, CA – An 11-year-old girl died on Friday, hours after she got into an after school fight with another girl over a boy.

Joanna Ramos and another girl had gotten into an altercation the day before, but had decided to settle their grievances in a prearranged fight to take place after school Friday, in an alley near Willard Elementary.

Witnesses say the about seven people attended the meet and watched as the two girls took off their backpacks, put their hair up and then started hitting each other. A friend of Ramos said that some attempted to break up the fight, but others there would not let them.

The altercation wasn’t especially serious and lasted only a minute. Police say no weapons were used and neither girl were knocked to the ground. Ramos walk away with no bruises or scratches, but did suffer a bloody nose.

After returning to her after school program, Ramos complained that she was not feeling well. Her family picked her up and took her home where she complained about a headache and began vomiting. When she fell unconscious, her family rushed her to the hospital where she would die after undergoing emergency surgery.

Police have identified the other girl involved in the fight with Ramos and have interviewed her, but no charges have been filed at this time. Grief counselors will be at the school today.

That is horrible. And scary.

I wish parents would teach their children that if a guy/girl doesn’t like you then they aren’t worth the trouble of getting into a fight over him/her. Just teach them to walk away and be proud that no one deserves you if they are even remotely interested in another. It’s sad. I wonder how they all feel now?
UniqueMommy1984

Wow, I feel for her parents.
newstarshipsmell

I guess the other girl wins the boy. Lucky her.

How aweful. Must’ve crushed her nasal cavity. : ( Sounds unlikely for a little girl fight.
XenMojo

Oh how horrible for the parents and for the other girl involved in the fight as well. She will have to live with that the rest of her life. Lets hope it taught her a lesson on what is important and what to just walk the hell away from.

11 years old and getting into a PHYSICAL fight over a boy? Geez.
JohnQknowitall

Convincing them, if possible, would be more affective.

No charges should be filed. Just the tragic result of two silly teenagers doing something stupid.

Wow, again another sad example that no guy or girl is worth fighting over. Having said that, why in the hell would we expect a couple of 11 year olds to realize that no person is worth any of this bullshit if adults can’t get the same concept through their thick skulls?
TheAlphaSoup

I was scared for a second, because the photo of this poor girl looked exactly like a 12-year-old friend of mine….
And the scary thing is, fighting for things like this, for some kids is just part of reality.

So did the other girl get the boy?

Maybe a burst blood vessel …
Terence Ng

I have a feeling that there’s a bigger, unknown health issue at hand here, and that, if anything, the fight exacerbated it.

Good luck with that.

Oh dear God! I hope the other girl doesn’t get charged as it seems it was a fair fight. However:

How in the hell do I teach my daughter that fighting is NOT the answer and it’s even less the answer for a BOY!????

If the little c*nt of a boy can’t seem to stop playing the field, fuck his ass (not in the way he would have wanted to) go play the damned field. I deserve better than an asshole who can’t seem to want one ice cream flavor.

Fuck the assholes that go to Baskin Robins and have to sample the whole damned 31 flavors and NEVER buy shit. They’re also cheap bastards!

Fuck I’d kill for a Baskin Robin’s mint chocolate chip/rocky road sunday with marshmallow topping, hard chocolate topping and whipped cream and sprinkles sunday.

They aren’t teenagers, that’s what makes it even sadder.

They are pre-teens.
JGo555

BY default after death. How much do you wanna bet the little fuck’s gonna try to hit up another girl and the “winner’s” gonna be forgotten because of the other girl’s new wardrobe?
kimbev69

How the hell did u get there? Lol someone get her some ice cream
newstarshipsmell

Other girl must’ve rolled a natural twenty. I hope she learns to only use her powers for good.
MisfitMandi

I read kimbev69′s comment with the same urgency as the McDonald’s situation in Big Daddy. Haha. “Will someone get this kid a happy meal!!!!?”
MisfitMandi

Kids don’t know what the hell they’re doing. Let’s just put our hair up and start hitting each other in THE HEAD!! Fuck the fact we could possibly injur our BRAINS. That boy will clearly be more attracted to the stronger 6th grade girl. (not the one who has developed more) if he doesnt, we’ll kick his ass too!! Harharhar….
I must say I’m a little impressed with the organized fighting that’s going on in schools these days. When I was in school, you just threw down wherever and accepted your suspension. Now they have kids that will hide and time you. Pretty crazy.

I won’t even fight over my husband. For him, yes. Over him…not gonna do it.

RIP Young Lady

You have a 12 year old friend? How old are you??
reapre

It sounds like she had a Subdural Hematoma.

My gramps collapsed back in 2007 after he moved a fridge, he had a head ache, said he was going down, and my grandma called 911. He ended up being fine after a couple days, but the short term memory was shot for a couple weeks…”Gotta call the doctors office and verify my appointment..” 3x in a row.
msfantastic

I am so glad I’m not the only one who uses these references all the time. For everything. And my friends look at me like I’m on crack…

I really doubt a 10 or 11 year old boy was playing these girls. The way I read it, they both liked the same boy and decided to “fight” to see who would get to be his girlfriend.
reapre

I don’t remember my thoughts back when I was 11, but I’m pretty sure charming women or getting one to like me wasn’t exactly a priority.
CrimsonSorrow

Man this is horrible. We fought all the time where I grew up, and it was way worse than just a fight that lasted a minute. I feel so bad for both families involved. I am sure that other girl is going to need some serious help.
newstarshipsmell

She failed her saving throw vs. bitchslaps, hairpulls and namecalling.
DangerousKindOfSnark

What about me?
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_XKMAEMPVJ5T2Y35HKYTNG7I6SY Cedric

Well no one really wants a 200.00 fighting at school ticket … better to catch em around the corner …
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_XKMAEMPVJ5T2Y35HKYTNG7I6SY Cedric

You lost me at “mint” … I’m not a “mint” fan,unless we are talking mouth wash.
Josh

I don’t want to know. j/k =)
JGo555

Double Rocky Road scoops then?
Josh

Girl likes candy rain… =)
Josh

You two can fight over me, I’m gonna lay down now to watch. Please use pillows and jump on a bed.
Josh

I read it the exact same way. Lol =)

Now you I’d beat someone down over!
Delaney3030

I have twelve year old friends. and they are girls. I’m 30
Delaney3030

I do remember my thoughts at 11. Charming girls and getting them to like me was all I cared about and all I cared about.
Athena

They’re eleven. That’s how relationships are supposed to be at that age. I would be concerned if a pre-teen niece of mine could boast of a deep and long-term relationship.

If we’re talking Baskin & Robbins, the Chocolate Mousse Royale is totally where it’s at.

Yeah some help…a personal trainer to help her work on that jab…

In another thread she said that she just graduated H.S.

Sounds like a concussion. They may have escaped the fight without scrapes or bruises but I’ve a feeling someone left with a lump on the head. God rest her soul.

I prefer Twinkies

A marshmallow layer somewhere in there would be a bonus.
TheAlphaSoup

Lol, you are correct, and great memory! (Or really good creeping)
And Andy, I don’t typically hang out with her, but I do like her and we do things together when she comes over (she’s more the daughter of my mom’s friend), so I think she qualifies as “friend.” Or maybe I should’ve typed this explanation out in my original comment to avoid doing so now.
Whatevn

Stories like this hurt to read.

Back when I was 11, even the kids I hated I liked. I got into a few fights with some of my gradeschool friends. Scary to think I could have accidently killed one of them.
VXIII

Its because of music videos and movies this shit happens, when I was 11 I would never have thought of fighting over some dumb ugly boy.
Jessica Stewart

I was threatened by another girl in fifth grade over a boy who didn’t even pay attention to either of us, I wasn’t gonna fight her over it though, but it does happen. Update on the news site says she died from blunt force trauma to the head (by knee)

Mine isn’t a day over twelve!
