Why do you suppose he might have been mentally instable enough to.commit suicide? Do you suppose being bullied for 8 hours a day might have something to do with it?
I really hate ot when people like you will first assume the child is born crazy, as opposed to he was made crazy by monstrous children and a school that saw it suitable to sacrifice him to maintain order.
Anybody who puts the blame on him are also.in the mindset that he should have been sacrificed.
I can guarantee you that almost all children in school today are veritable monsters.
Let in live with grandma or aunt Sally in Mississippi then. Or catch the bully and beat the He’ll out of him as an object lesson.
There are always options
The most successful approach for dealing with a bully is to make it clear to his parent(s) that they will be slaughtered with a machete in their place of employment if the bullying doesn't stop.
Ask me how I know this. :-O
I was a slight kid and didn’t measure up to a lot of the other more “manly” 1st Graders, but I was never bullied.
I think I got an early reputation when I knocked the front tooth out of a kid who kept stealing the candy bar out of my lunch box.
Parents need to prepare their children for everything they will come across. bullying is big. they need to know how to handle it and they need to know that their parents are in their corner. 20 trips to a school shows the kid that the parents are not up to the fight.
“Been to the school 20 times and did not take the child out of the place.”
Yes, this. Or call the cops.
If this was my kid, the school would have experienced a rush of unexplained ass-kickings instead of a suicide.

Also, parents should go the last mile to let their kids know that they have bright futures, that the bullies are headed for trouble later in life, and that what the bullies think of them doesn’t matter. This kept a lot of bullied kids sane when I was their age.
Yup!
Many times the child is made a victim by a mother that babies the child.
Self esteem is not just how a person views themself. It’s the difference between how a person views themself and how reality treats them.
I’ve observed this first hand, along with the suicide when the child couldn’t deal with reality when the mother was not there to protect them.
That’s definitely what it takes. If you can physically hurt somebody, who is trying to bully you, do it.
Especially in the early grades. There seems to be some correlation to not being bullied and putting the hurt on somebody before puberty sets in.
Wrestling and boxing lessons
When my daughter was in HS many years ago, one of her girlfriends committed suicide by hanging herself in the garage.
Her home life was reportedly hell, basically being treated like a slave by her mother...................
Still, he looks like a sweet litte boy. SO sad
your tagline speaks volumes...about you.
Karate and Judo lessons..................
1/150,000,000 is not a crisis..
Exactly. What “things” did this lazy idiot do?
The worst bullying I got was in HS. It took me years to de program what those people did to me
I sincerely hope your grandchildren are one of those 150,000. Maybe it will help you develop empathy.
“Big glasses and buck teeth apparently“
I had big glasses and buck teeth in school. I was also one of the smaller kids ; late bloomer, etc..
Yes, I got bullied a lot, but we learned to deal with it. Not saying that it isn’t more intense nowadays tho.. But we learned to avoid a lot of stuff and people.
One day, around 9th grade, one of the usual bullies was on me about something.. I had had enough apparently and also realized that I was now several inches taller and in much better shape than he was. I lipped right back at him. His first impulse was to try to intimidate me.. “WHAT did you just say?!?..”
I stood up over him and repeated it, ready for what may have to be done.
He laughed it off and said “Hey!.. easy!.. I’m just kidding with you bro!..”
We were friendly after that. And with all of his cohorts too.
As an adult, in the workplace, there’s always bullying - if you don’t play the game with the right people. It really never ends in our human condition.
