That is extremely sad Also, I would have thought suicide among children that young was very rare.

Maybe. I'm not sure of the statistics but bullying in schools is very common and many schools do little to help the victim.

This is really sad.

I don't have the numbers here now, but kids with different diets get bullied a lot. A lot of kids with allergies, gets the food they are allergic to put up in their faces too, and other things. Worst part is that the teachers are really good at joining this too.

It's a shame food can be such a trigger for bad behaviour both to kids and grown ups.

Hi Mikkel,
If you have witnessed teachers bullying in this way, I think you might consider reporting their behaviour to their employers, because dead children have no longer got a voice to complain with.
