Title: Enough is Enough: Together Let’s Stop Bullying

Picture
Tanya was a shy 12 year old girl who did not have many friends. She was the youngest of five children and her parents struggled and worked hard to take care of her and her siblings. They lived in a small apartment and often times had to get help from the neighbors. Tanya did not wear the latest designer clothes but her mother made sure she was neat and clean everyday she went to school. As much as she tried to fit in she could not. Her peers thought she wasn’t good enough and she definitely didn’t look the part. Because of this, Tanya was the object of name calling, taunting and even sometimes hitting. This abuse from her peers caused her to withdraw even more at home and in school. Her mother noticed the drastic change and tried to help her but was unsuccessful. Being picked on constantly at home and in her neighborhood, Tanya decided it was too much to bear. One night while at home alone she took her own life. She left a note saying, “I’m sorry mom and dad but it was too much. I’m better off this way and now at least no one will hurt me.” (read more)
