"A toothache, or a violent passion, is not necessarily diminished by our knowledge of its causes, its character, its importance or insignificance".- T.S. Eliot
The truly sad part, at least from my perspective, is that those same things used to happen to me all the time and continued on for years. Kind just makes you think "what if" is all I mean. Poor kid, really. Of course the kid wasn't really all that bright either. Her mom said she would handle it and before her mom even got a chance, the kid just offs herself.
Now, sad as it may be, I do find it all quite curious. But maybe I'm just being paranoid... after all, most 5 year olds I know already know how to effectively kill someone easily, so I wouldn't put it past a child to know how to kill themselves. But... something just seems off.
I mean it was the day after she told her mother everything. Even if the bullying had intensified over two weeks, why didn't she kill herself before then?
And why hanging? I question the circumstances about that. And what I mean is, a ten year old isn't all that heavy, and they tend to not be all that tall either. Hanging is a slow and very painful process unless you snap your neck. And, under sheer survival instinct, I seriously doubt a ten year old girl would allow herself to be strangled without some form of struggle.
I mean, even if she jumped off something her neck probably wouldn't have snapped right away. And this was in a closet. How big is that closet? How tall? Can she stair step up it? Was there a latter in there? Was her neck broken?
I'm not expert or anything but something smells fishy. I just find it very unlikely a ten year old would choose that method of suicide. Like i said, it's slow, it's painful, natural instincts cause you to struggle against it. No matter how inteanse the bullying got I find it hard to believe it got to the point where she lost all will to live.
It just doesn't make any sense. Her death is indeed tragic. But I find few details surrounding her death and focusing more about the bullying. Yes, bullying is wrong, but let's not forget she still died by her own hand... the day after her mother said she would handle it. That in and of itself is odd. Typically that sort of confirmation from a trusted adult wouldn't cause the kid to wanna off themselves.
So it just doesn't add up to me. I'm not saying it's made-up or anything. I'm just saying something here isn't making any sense.

That's really sad. And there's actually a big thing going on where I live, about the bullying. I hope it will change things. A girl close of my town commited suicide on monday ( november 28th ) because she was being bullied at school since she was 12. I guess the're a moment where you just can't take no more. She was 15 years old and man.... she was beautiful.
I think it's really sad and I hope people will understand one day :/
It is unfortunate that people feel the need to bully each other.
However I feel that it's more unfortunate that at just 10 years old she felt that there really was nothing else to live for and that life was never going to get any better for her with so much of it left ahead of her.
I was in grade 6 when I was 10.
As far as I can recall, pretty much everyone in my class got bullied at some point; sometimes pretty badly, but I can't imagine any of us having ended our lives over it, especially at that age. Everyone just knew that there was high school to look forward to when we'd sort of go separate ways and make our own groups of friends away from each other.

That's true. Sounds like she was bullied pretty bad though. Poor girl.
