School Bullying Enticing children To Commit Suicide

Written By: Miranda Caverley

As many know The recent Suicide of Phoebe Prince From Massachusetts has been one of the main stories being covered by newspapers, and News TV all over the country. It is an on going story because of the arrest that have been made by some of the students accused of bullying Phoebe, and even raping her.

Today girls from Phoebe’s School have been  charged with civil rights violations resulting in bodily injury, criminal harassment and disturbing a school assembly. Two also are charged with stalking, and the other is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon.  They pleaded NOT Guilty.

But still there are more students who will be facing a judge and many more charges even Statutory Rape.

This young beautiful girl Phoebe Prince not too long ago had moved to the U.S from Ireland and this is the kind of welcome she received from her fellow class mates!

People in the school even some teachers knew that Phoebe was being bullied and harassed but no one helped her. And she became so desperate to escape this abuse that she took her own life by hanging herself in her parents home.

Phoebe’s story is just one of many that we have heard about through the years of children as young as 6 or 7 hanging themselves and committing suicide due to bullying.

When are parents, schools and communities going to stand up and say this has got to stop? When are we going to put discipline and morale values back in to the homes and teach children how to respect one another?  How Many more Children have to commit suicide because they can’t stand the bullying and the abuse any longer and feel this is their only way to escape it before YOU Say NO MORE?!!

When children are sent to school Monday-Friday They are not being sent always to a safe happy place where they will get an education. Most of the time children are being sent into a WAR ZONE where violence, bullying, harassment, even death threats are happening. And then we wonder why the U.S is so far behind other countries with our education. How can we expect Children who are living in a war zone when they go to school and sometimes even when they go home to get straight A’s all the time and be able to concentrate in class when they are worrying what might happen to them when that bell rings?

We have to start listening to the children and notice their behaviors. Notice the changes in them and see the warning signs that something is wrong. There are always warning signs it’s just that you have to pay attention.

Schools have got to stop looking at their students as just another number in their books and start realizing these are human beings and they have a responsibility while in their care to protect them from harm.

Please pray for the Children who are suffering from bullying and abuse and reach out to those you may see are being bullied or abused. Help Stop this Cancer of Abuse that is spreading like wild fire. With every child that is murdered or commits suicide we are losing part of a generation help Stop it NOW.
