I just don't know what to do other parents go through the same thing I guess --Your right though If they get away with it they will just keep on doing it.

Yeah ...

... that's the problem.

We don't have enough people locked up in this country.

Of course, it does.

And, always has.

It's a dark side of human nature.

But, there's zero evidence that it's on the rise or that it causes suicides.

It can certainly be a contributing factor in an unstable individual..

On the page Sal found---If you look at the opinions they give plenty of links saying opposite ---doesn't matter something needs to be done I think.

Are you aware of the term "anecdotal evidence"?

Oh well people are going to think what they want no matter what is posted --  That's why its on the news every night trying to let people know about it !

They aren't killing themselves for no reason at all!


Yea there ill after being bullied so much.

Y'all know what actually does kill a lot of kids? ...

http://www.aap.org/en-us/about-the-aap/aap-press-room/Pages/Prevalence-of-Household-Gun-Ownership-Linked-to-Child-Gun-Shot-Wounds.aspx

It's on the rise and causes childhood suicides too.

I think that people who kill themselves have a mental illness.  The vast majority of people who are bullied don't kill themselves.   But how can we be sure that bullying is not one factor that sometimes helps push some mentally troubled kids over the edge?

Oh well we can spin it anyway we want I guess some are weak and some are strong.

That might be a good way of putting it.  I don't know how anyone can say for sure that bullying doesn't sometimes contribute to suicide.  For whatever reason, a person hits a point where they decide it's not worth going on. Bullying sure can't help matters for someone who already has issues they're dealing with.

Your right Neko --children are not like adults , we can fight back - they are still going through puberty --many life changes at that age.

That's very sad. I have had to go through that a few times with my children. Its never easy. And there is NO right answer.

I can tell you this. you will never stop people from bullying. People are mean and children are especially cruel.

As a parent it is our job to prepare our children to deal with stuff like this. Death of friends, relatives, pets etc. suicides are always the most difficult.

This too shall pass.

Bottom line, Cool. Your daughter did he right thing. She stood up and made herself heard and that is what is important.

I found out his friends had a prayer by the flag pole this morning and the criminal justice class will have a small gathering on Wednesday --within time it will get easier for them all .

I googled this and found nothing about a teen suicide in Florida in the past week. What school did this happen at?

You won't the majority of suicides ( clear-cut) are kept private and not reported by the local media.

they do lots of them. Guess the family would have to agree to it.

however, people could look at obituaries or death certificates if the felt the need for a investigation
