What Is Bullycide ?
The correct definition to this question is bullycide is suicide caused from bullying. Children and teens who are bullied live in fear and confusion constantly. Many feel the only way to escape the rumors, insults, verbal abuse and terror is to take their own life. Bullycide is clearly a serious issue. There are several different reasons that can lead to bullycide including:
  • Being a victim of  physical and emotional harassment
  • Experiencing continuous  physical and emotional pain
  • Having to continually relive an embarrassing moment over and over that is often brought up as a method of torment and torcher
  • Being the victim of bullying by a figure like a parent, teacher, coach or another adult
  • When the victim of bullying has no other friends to talk to for support or encouragement while being bullied regularly
Stand up. Speak up. Defend. Tell the authority . Do something .
