Wow, that one poor woman lost all three of her kids to suicide. I couldn't even begin to imagine what she feels.

People never take bullying seriously. The cops think it's an issue ONLY to be handled by the school and the schools refuse to acknowledge that it happens. My mom went to a PTA meeting one time in high school and the school brought up the topic of bullying. A bunch of the parents said, "What? There's no bullying here!" And they all laughed about it. When my mom said that yes, there is bullying going on and I was one of the kids receiving it, the parents wouldn't believe her.

Fucking assholes.

I like how the school "lost the records" of the bullying complaints on the one girl, after telling the parents they'd stop it.

and this:

The family watched, she said, as the girls who had tormented Sladjana for months walked up to the casket - and laughed

What the hell? Who raises kids like that?

and this:

A boy pushed her down the stairs. A girl smacked her in the face with a water bottle.

Phone callers in the dead of night would tell her to go back to Croatia, that she'd be dead in the morning, that they'd find her after school

um those are criminal acts, and the school did nothing-good job.

Unfortunately, the school was in the right on that. Legally, outside of school hours and property, they are not allowed to take any action. Not that I like it mind you, as it should have been stopped long before it got to that point. The police should have been notified however and the little shits making the calls should have been placed in juvie.

um the being pushed down the stairs and hit with a water bottle did happen at the school-so no they are not in the right, as they did nothing about two known separate incidents of assault and battery that occurred on their watch.
