Bullying: The cause of the month
Re: “Was bullying to blame?” Leader, March 5.
I doubt it – but it gives people who allegedly knew the victim a chance to posit their cause of the month – in this case, and in this month – bullying.
Then we have some anonymous parent who claims that he/she has special knowledge of the 14-year-old who died ...“He was picked on all the time...”
If this was the case then this anonymous individual failed as both a parent and a human being by doing nothing, though I suspect this just another example of someone who knows absolutely nothing parroting what they have been told versus what they actually know.
I don’t know which is more sad here – the untimely death of this child or the overwhelming urge of unthinking and unknowing people to jump aboard the grief bandwagon.
Next time you have nothing to say – say nothing.
