My story: Struggling, bullying, suicide, self harm

[Circadia]

In the case of teachers, some will literally do nothing. I had an friend (ex-friend now tbh) at school who was constantly bullied on the bus (where teachers sometimes went on to regulate it and whatnot) and even had her hair set on fire - she told the school about the hair incident and all they did was exclude the person who did it for 2 days. Teachers saw that I was often teased and got verbally abused by people because of a rumour I was gay and did nothing about it, I told some teachers directly about it and that it was an issue; still did nothing about it. May be different for different people, but from my experience and what i've head from others, the majority of teachers don't help greatly.

Sometimes parents think teens are over-exaggerating in regards to depression/suicidal thoughts (even after they attempt it multiple times tbh). Can't say much about police.

If teachers do that they are breaking the law and should be fired :L But my school was like that before the new head.
However we can't assume that was the case for her, all she tells us that the teachers watched. They wouldn't blatantly watch out in the open were people can see (I think it was in the open I can't quite remember).

Anyway this is a matter of opinion not a matter of fact

Quite right! (This is an on topic post before some mod. says it isn't ).

I'm not saying it would absolutely stop if she told someone! I was saying if her parents, the police and teachers saw what was going on, doesn't that make you think that something she saying is bending the truth? Cause it certainly does too me. A guy made have made a group about her, how do you solve that? You report it. A statement is a sign of absolution of what I was saying, but I didn't end with a statement I ended with a question didn't I? Meaning that I'm not saying that everyone can cope just wondering why people can't as well as another.

your question made it seem that you were suggesting that everyone should be like you, actually.

she may have been bending the truth but the fact is that the girl needed help
the police got involved once, and yes that makes me wonder why they didn't do anything about the guy who was posting the pictures.
It's not exactly easy though is it. Imagine it, you move school and then someone makes a group with your boobs as the profile picture and gets in touch with all the people in your new school that youve got on Facebook. even if you report it, they've still seen it, that's going to be the first memorable thing that you do in that new school. I can't imagine that she got off that lightly with it.

Yeah I agree with you @Intersocial; I think because we can't see both sides of the story either it doesn't help. When I was in year 9 I got hit in the mouth with an Aniseed Ball yet I got the blame due to me buying the sweets (and apparently I was throwing them), my friends luckily told the teacher I wasn't and apologised to me - sometimes all it takes is a sorry and it's over, yet the teacher first didn't do anything about it and blamed me. Another issue was in History, people were being verbally rude to me, a note was passed round about me and the teacher eventually got it, at the end of the lesson he asked me who it was and if I minded it - I told him not to persue it due to it not being a common thing, anyway what I'm saying is that sometimes teachers will do something and sometimes they won't but again they don't know the full story thus have to make a judgement. In this case, I'm not saying they made the wrong one but it would appear wrong to those who were viewing it from our point of view, if we were one of those bullying her or spectating it then we would probably look at it differently. Of course my examples aren't as bad as what she went through.

I think that in some way she just wanted that attention to know she had someone but the attention she received instead was negative - it could have easily became too much as said before but I don't think it should have stemmed so much from what she originally did.

You know what, this thread makes me so angry and I reckon half of you should be ashamed of yourselves. The fact of the matter is somebody has taken their own life and you're all sitting here debating whether or not her reasons are valid? I'm sorry but have some ******* compassion and some respect. Can't get over how disrespectful this thread is and imo it should just be closed.

It'll probably die in a few days so it doesn't need to be closed

Surely its good to talk it through? It gives a fuller picture of the situation and how to build upon it - ideally so fewer people commit suicide.

might be my naivety - but am I right in thinking she'd tried to do it twice before? If her parents or even close friends even had a shred of doubt as to whether she might actually succeed, why hadn't her situation changed? e.g. counselling, moving or dealing with it someway?

But I must say I agree with @laura, on this occasion someone has succeeded in suicide, but the amount of people that almost fake 'attempt' suicide to cry out for attention, without ever having the intention of going through with suicide. It's almost like a claim for condolence. If there is an ulterior motive under the attention seeking and generally have a legitimate grievances, then I can understand suicide, but the amount of attempted teen suicide seems a little beyond me >I feel unsympathetic saying that is teen lives really built up with so many problems that suicide is even a conceivable answer?

Absolutely. I have a friend who posted a 'fake' video to get efame (her genuine reason was MAYBE JUSTIN BIEBER WILL NOTICE ME AND I'LL GET A TRENDING TOPIC)... it's messed up man. I totally agree with you, I'm so sympathetic to those with REAL issues, as a lot of people will be able to tell you.

For those of you -repping me, I'm allowed an opinion, and I'm not an idiot for having that opinion. You have no idea. I've already admitted I was wrong in my first post by saying it was bad-attention seeking (I thought it was going to be the same situation as above), but you HAVE to see ti from my point of view. Or maybe you're just too naive to see the pathetic 'depressed' (usually) girls who post videos with them half naked apologising for being 'suicidal'.... I just find it difficult to believe. Sorry for being sceptical....
