Friends and family of Drew say that the student was taunted. 

“He definitely was bullied and he didn’t want to go to school. I know how it feels because I was bullied and I didn’t want to go to school,” said Ferraro’s friend Meghan Dorosy, who witnessed him jump off the school building, in a CBS interview.

Drew was allegedly involved in a fight with several boys last year, which upset him deeply, according to his close friend Olin Tellefsen in a CBS interview. Olin described Drew as a smart, witty friend who played football, loved heavy metal, concerts and his friends.
