The mother of 12-year-old Sydney schoolgirl Charlotte, who tragically died by suicide after allegedly being bullied, said she will “never be OK” following her daughter's death in a heart wrenching eulogy.

Charlotte, a year 7 student at Santa Sabina College in Sydney’s inner-west, died by suicide on September 9.

Her family have claimed Charlotte was subject to bullying at the school.

The 12-year-old had reportedly left a note for her family asking her mother to please “tell the school”, and detailing who she wanted at her funeral, as well as others who had made “life too hard”.

Charlotte's funeral service

Charlotte’s mother Kelly said she knew her daughter was her “soulmate” within a “moment of being her mother”, while speaking at Charlotte’s funeral.

“She was the cutest, kindest and smartest baby I had ever known,” she said, according to 7NEWS.

“My pride and joy and my best friend.”

She said she will miss her daughter “every day that ends in ‘Y’”, and will “never be OK without (her)”.

She said she would miss her daughter’s hugs, kisses, laugh and her “big beautiful smiles”.

“I will miss our chats and making plans,” Kelly said.

“I will miss you making videos of us and your eye rolls when I ask you to bring down your clothes to wash.”

Kelly said she will “always” love her daughter.

“You are my world, my life, my Queen B diva, my beauty queen, the star on top of the Christmas tree,” she said.

The grieving mother also pledged to get her daughter to Disneyland and Paris, saying “we will have our hot dog in New York” before thanking her for everything.

“Thank you for your baby stage, thank you for your mermaid stage, thank you for your hugs and kisses,” she said.

“This isn’t goodbye; it just means we get to love you as you are forever.”

"Thank you for being so brave"

Charlotte’s stepfather Matthew thanked the 12-year-old for giving him the “greatest honour” while speaking at the funeral, according to 7NEWS.

“Thank you for being you, thank you for being so thoughtful, thank you for being so kind, thank you for being so brave,” Matthew said.

“Thank you for giving me the greatest honour to be your dad.

“I miss you today and I’ll miss you every tomorrow.”

Charlotte’s primary school has reportedly given staff and students the day off for the funeral.

In place of flowers, Charlotte’s family have asked people to donate to Kids Helpline.

Kelly earlier shared the final message she sent to the school after her daughter’s death.

“My beautiful girl took her own life last night because of the relentless friendship issues she faced,” Kelly wrote.

“She didn’t deserve to go to and from school crying almost every day. She didn’t deserve girls to bark in her face or scream out her name and run away, to purposely hit her with their bag and say whoops.”

"Every child that was allowed to continue their behaviour was failed"

Charlotte’s mother Kelly said “punishing people now has no value” moments before the funeral began at Charlotte’s primary school, Mary Immaculate Catholic Church in Bossley Park, on Friday, according to The Daily Telegraph.

“Every child that was allowed to continue their behaviour was failed,” Kelly said.

“Every child apart of the toxic environment that was allowed to breed was failed. Their stories aren’t over.”

She said “this tragedy could have been any one of those children, unfortunately it happened to mine”.

“Punishing people now has no value. Their lives moving forward will be hard enough,” she said.

“She didn’t deserve the pain she was in. She deserved love and kindness. She deserved to be treated with dignity and respect.

“My darling baby angel is gone because I didn’t make a big enough noise for her. I’m sorry baby, I’m sorry.”
