Because kids want to be accepted. It is all about popularity in school. Trust me. This girl was bullied by even people she thought were her friends. She fucked around and found out. Never bully someone based off of something that is outside their scope of being able to change. Takes a cruel person to make fun of someone battling a disease that is trying to kill them.

But what about freedom of speech?

Someone clearly hasn't read the whole amendment. Even freedom of speech has limits. Besides, just because you can say it, doesn't mean you should. Hence why police tell you that you have the right to remain silent.. any words you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. Say what you want. Doesn't mean there won't be consequences

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances"
Where does it restrict anything?

Supreme court rulings over the years have added restrictions. Google 1st Amendment Limitations. Or even asking "Are there limits to Freedom of Speech?"
Examples of things you cannot say or do as it pertains to the 1st Amendment.
You cannot get on a plane and say Hijack. Even if you have a friend named Jack on the plane, best to say, Hello, Jack lest it be construed that you plan to take over the plane with force. Nor can you go into an occupied/crowded building like the movie theater or grocery store and yell, "FIRE!!" Same concept.
You cannot tell someone who has certain ideations toward self-harm to unalive themselves. If they do unalive themselves and it was pointed out that you were the one that told them to do it, you can be charged for their death.
You cannot lie under oath. This is purgery and is punishable.
False advertisement isn't allowed either.
Another class of permissible restrictions on speech is based on intellectual property rights. Both copyrights and trade secrets fall under this exception.
You cannot threaten to do harm, in any way, to the President of The USA. This also applies to any "President-elect, Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President, or Vice President-elect.
Defamation, libel/slander is also unprotected by the 1st Amendment.
Would you like me to continue with other examples of things you cannot say?
In other words, you cannot say whatever tf you want to, just because "you can". There are always consequences.
Edit to add a few things

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences. Just because you can/have the right to say something, doesnt always mean you should.

WTF are you smoking. You might want to wake up from your delusions. If you break a law, sure you can be arrested. Incitement to violence and other types of speech have consequences.
They cant stop you saying things, that's your freedom, but they can punish you if the intent of the speech is to cause harm

You are aware that despite numerous lawsuits and investigations, the only fraud discovered was in the hands of Republicans, and there is even evidence surfacing that the 2016 election that got Trump power was influenced by Russia.
Siding with Russia over America is an assault on Democracy.
Get out of whatever echo chamber you are living in and find some neutral information on the subject.
But at the very least, stop sniffing glue.
