Unbelievable
Another tragic story of teen suicide. For those who are writing about deppression I would like to lead you to the story of 15 year old Phoebe Prince of Massachusettes. She was being bullied over and over and over again by classmates or schoolmates in an unstoppable manner. The case is still being investigated but just hearing of such a thing outrages me. As a parent of two children I try to be fully involved in the lives of my children. Not to say that her parents were not but I try to look at lessons that can be learned through others adversities so that I don't suffer something like this. Its remarkable that no one, after such a long period of time this young child was being tormented, stood up and spoke on her behalf or allowed it to get to this point. I appeal to you who are parents to communicate with your children and be involved with all whom they come in contact with. This should never had happened and I can only feel sorry for her and her family. What type of torment and emotional abuse drive such a beautiful and aspiring young child to commit such and act. May she have found the peace she so sought after here on earth. God bless her soul and may He comfort her family during this sorrowful time.

Bruno,
ReplyDeleteI echo your sentiments completely! The story of what happened to this girl made me cry. The town where it occurred is only about an hour from where I live, so it's the kind of situation that can happen anywhere. It should never be allowed to continue like this at all. We as a society have to endeavor to protect the innocent while they're alive, not after it's too late. God, in his mercy, will make all things right in time, but we also bear a responsibility to prevent what we can! Thank you for acknowledging this tragic case....
