The tiny Queens girl who hanged herself Wednesday had been mercilessly taunted by classmates who called her names and mocked her appearance, friends and family said yesterday.

Gabrielle Molina’s body was discovered by her sister Georgia, 15, in their shared bedroom at their Queens Village house at 2:30 p.m.

The 12-year-old girl — who barely stood 5 feet tall — left an anguished suicide note that referenced her tormentors.

“She was bullied,” said IS 109 classmate Samantha Martin, 12. “She said that she wanted to move schools because she felt uncomfortable. People wanted to jump her.”

Gabrielle’s sobbing father, George Molina, said his daughter had been slowly wearing down from abuse that had continued online after the dismissal bell.

He said Gabrielle’s classmates called her a slut and a whore. Others, he said, told her she looked like she suffered from Down syndrome. Her final Facebook posting on Monday shows her fretting about her hair. A recent breakup sent her into a spiral.

“I was trying to comfort her because she was getting weak,” the father said. “I wanted to make her happy.”

The seventh-grader, an aspiring lawyer, also was heckled after classmates saw a YouTube video that showed her getting beaten up by a former friend, said family pal Ronnie Ocampo.

“It was kind of brutal,” he said. “Based on the video, you can see that Gabby was fighting for herself in spite of the other girl being taller.”

George Molina fumed that Gabrielle’s school, IS 109, did not respond quickly enough when the family complained to administrators about the online footage.

But Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott said yesterday that a preliminary investigation did not reveal any serious bullying problems at the Queens middle school.

However, the school was given only a “C” for its safety environment in the city’s 2012 progress reports.

“I don’t think I knew the word suicide when I was 12 years old or 11 years old,” Walcott said.

A staggering 70 percent of IS 109 students said they didn’t feel safe there.

Cops questioned students at the school yesterday about the bullying claims, a school source told The Post.

“Detectives have taken two computers from the home, and they will shortly be analyzed,” NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly said. “It’s a terrible tragedy.”

Gabrielle’s depression sank to the point that she began cutting herself, and strife at home only intensified her pain, a friend said.

“They kept pushing her emotionally until she reached her limit,” said sixth-grader Solomon Edwards, 12.
