Why does this happen?
At vigil for Jaheem, mother weeps over his suicide: Family says 11-year-old was bullied at elementary school
This is the second 11-year-old child who killed himself in the past month because of bullying. The second. In the past month. One in a lifetime is already one too many. How can this be happening in our schools? Why are the teachers so powerless? I can't imagine any world where an 11-year-old seriously contemplates suicide, much less go through with it - and, yet, this is our world.
