Teen Commits Suicide Due to Bullying

[AgnesIO]

You'd think that... doesn't make them stop. (speaking from experience). They just don't care if they hurt someone else.

It makes you wonder... do the bullies that bullied this boy actually feel remorse now they've seen what they drove him to? Would any person feel it if it were them???

Depends if they do it more to impress, or if they are just scum I guess

I don't even understand this so...



The Marketing guy pretty much explains it, but it's how they "run" so quick, yet so many people go through much bigger **** and they don't feel the need to top themselves.

Apparently his last Facebook status was "Don't forget me when I come crying to heaven's door" which is a line from a Lady Gaga song... This is so sad

Because some are emotionally weaker than others? Especially if you are being bullied for something that you are already insecure and sensitive about. I thought this was common knowledge but obviously this ignorance still exists :rolleyes: Can I ask if you have ever bullied someone before?

SO QUICK? Like I've said... it's not like one comment *OH KILLS SELF*. For example, maybe someone loses a family member and feels the need to commit suicide, but if another individual has gone through YEARS of bullying and cyber bullying, it might actually make up to the same "trauma level" if you get what I mean. When you get to the stage that you literally cannot put up with any more **** in your life... when every day you wake up wondering if it's worth opening your eyes? It doesn't matter why you're in that place - just that you are, and I don't think that calling a suicidal person a coward is really the best word to use.

People who bully due to peer pressure... that's horrible.

No, I'm a very neutral person. I have been bullied about my spine problems yet I haven't topped myself.

There's alternatives to just killing yourself to sort bullying. Maybe you're right at how coward isn't the best word, but it's the closest I can think of.

It's not to sort it at all! If you've been bullied enough to want to kill yourself, then it's because you can't put up with it any longer, how else can you sort it out? Even if you suggest calling things like Samaritans or etc, then sometimes they don't even work 'cos a person is so set on their decision.

There is a difference between being bullied and being bullied to the point of no return though. I think most people on the planet have been bullied at one point in their lives tbh.

teen suicide isn't cowardly as such, but it is silly. regardless of what someone is going through. yr so young, and so much can happen and how do you know it's not going to get better? if the person is mentally unsound then obviously that theory is defunct. but i would imagine a large quantity of teen suicides are cries for help gone wrong.

self-harm is a completely different thing. without being offensive to anyone, it's been glamorized and trivialized to the point where it's a joke.

"bullied to the point of no return" you get up, you move on, you get on with it.

It saddens me how little people actually understand about mental problems. Not everyone kills themself when they get bullied but that doesn't make survivors any better/braver/stronger people - it's not simply a case of "get over it" and that ignorant attitude is why so many people go on with their problems ignored and building up.

They can move schools and if it gets to a horrid point they can get home schooled. If there are home issues then social services involved. There is always a solution.

Then how can't you understand there are different cases and levels of bullying, some far more severe than others? And good one on ignoring my previous point that some are emotionally weaker than other people

I'd think that anyone who self harms or tries to kill themselves are mentally unstable... And I wouldn't say that this case was a "cry for help gone wrong" as he hung himself and clearly intended to die.

But I do agree that cutting yourself etc has become glamorized etc and it is absolutely ridiculous and disgusting and needs to stop.
