Suicide
I feel like teen suicide is a very harsh topic and it is sad to see happen across the world. I hope that the number of death by this shortens till we get to 0 deaths. I also think that society should learn how to stop spreading negativity so we can stop this issue because it is a real problem that can be avoided by just being more positive.
Kelly Yeomans
The teenager I chose to talk about is 13 year old kelly yeomans. She was born in allenton the subarb of derby. She was a british child who was subjected to bullying. She attended merril academy middle school and that is the school in which kids would bully her. The child was very nice and just wanted to fit in and make friends but was bullied to much.
The cause
The kids in the school would make fun of her about her weight and call her a pig. It was said her mother went to the school to complain about 30 times but never recieved assistance. Things got worse on september 1997 when the children who would bully her went to her home and threw eggs and defaced her home.
The horrific death
After this incident she told her parents thats she was going to overdose. Her parents saught help for their child's depression. Although they never thought she would carry out the threat she was found dead near her mother and father. She died fron an overdose on painkillers her mother used for her knee problem.
How it could have been prevented
This could have been prevented by the school actually adressing the issue but the school never did. Because of this the kids would proceed to bully her and lead her to this horrible tragedy. The kids have also prevented by being nice and not having to make fun of people's insecuritys. In conclusion,these are some reasons of how i think this could have been avoided.
