Relentless taunting and bullying that leads to suicide.

One of many similar stories, but what is wrong with young people who see nothing wrong with bullying someone so badly that they commit suicide, and who even continue to taunt their victim after they have survived a suicide attempt?

I genuinely can't even begin to understand the mindset of young people like this.

Gurantee you have an active updated facebook account.

Really? Then you would be totally wrong. I had one long ago and binned it fast. A friend is someone I can talk to , share with in complete trust, sit down to coffee with. Not some faceless attacker .
At least here we can use the ignore button.

These kids use facebook like a deadly weapon; too cowardly to face those they are attacking . Dump facebook and give kids a chance,

Maybe you remember a short while ago a teenager who vanished on St Patrick;s night and was found dead? Another social media casualty.

The more attractive and gifted the person, the more they get attacked.

Stop giving them a chance.

These things happen people go ahhhh isnt that terrible/ what a tradegy/ I hope those responsible get whats coming to them/ so sad etc etc etc

All thats nice but utterly meaningless rhetoric.

We all know people struggling ask them do they want to talk, talk to the folk in shops them name tags help build rapport who bothers addressing the person by their name even?. Sit with a homeless person on the street and chat.
Its not the talking its giving the other person TIME. People pick up on you spending time on them gives them self worth.

The only way we can connect with folk is in real life person to person.

This online malarkey is just people sprouting off virtue signalling pladitudes.

It's terrible to think that even though the Gardaí knew what was going on, there is absolutely no law whatsoever to prevent this type of behaviour and the awful consequences that follow.

I really hope this poor mother achieves her aim of getting some kind of law introduced to counter this increasing phenomenon of some young people behaving like absolute animals, emotionally savaging someone to death just for kicks.

I never witnessed this level of bullying when I was a teenager. A bit of slagging, or some sneering about people behind their back, yes. But not ongoing and relentless taunting, and pleasure in seeing the victim become more and more distressed to the point of suicide.

This seems to be relatively recent and it's worrying that some young people seem to be so detached from reality that they can't understand that the source of their 'pleasure' is another human being with real feelings and emotions. I would be sick to my stomach if any of my nephews or nieces took part in that kind of behaviour.

Hardly relatively recent. I'm in my early 40s and I was relentlessly bullied in both primary and secondary school. Physical and emotional abuse. I had the misfortune of having my parents as teachers in both schools. I also have a shaking disorder (the more obvious reason to be bullied about).

There have always been kids/teens who either punish for their own pleasure or to gain social standing with others. Before I was 18, I was put in hospital 4 times by others. Not a simple beating, but broken bones. I won't go into the emotional abuse except to say that young people can be very inventive in how they want to abuse someone else.

This isn't new behavior. They've just got some new delivery systems for their abuse.

Children are basically wild animals. Empathy for one's fellow-creatures and manners come with maturity and an understanding that if you act like an asshole you will be treated as such. In the old days, if a youngster was acting like that towards another person their father would say something like "What am I after rearing?!?! If I catch you behaving like that again I'll kick the head clean off you, you little shit!!". Nowadays, due to technology they have free-reign and this sort of thing is virtually impossible to detect and put a stop to in good time.

Some people are just ****s. They were bullying and taunting when I was a teen, and there's going to be people doing it long after I'm dead.

I wish there was some way to teach teens how to protect themselves from these muppets. For most of us, we learn how to do so in our twenties after the worst of it is finished.

Wow, that seems to be a bit of different story though, from the usual "teenage" bullying", given the issues appeared to start when she was 18.
Sad story too. As an aside though I find that grieving a bit OTT, but each to their own.

I remember the first young person suicide I encountered was a lad from my rugby team. Lovely guy, bit timid, like many of us, carried a bit too much weight so was podgy. No issues in the club but he didn't come back one season after being there for the previous 3. Saw his death notice in the newspaper about 2 months later. Poor fella had hung himself in the garage, he lived close by too so I'd often think about him when I was walking my dig past his house. Still do.
Turned out he was bullied quite badly in school.

Some people just like to see others suffer.:(

They should be publicly flogged. Cowards is all they are.
