Fourteen year old suicide may be the victim of bullying

Greek public opinion is in shock by the suicide of a 14-year-old student in Argyroupolis, who on Sunday morning was found hung from the balcony of his house shortly after returning from a party.

There are many unanswered questions, both concerning the reasons that led the youth tosuicide, as well as concerning the notes he had written in which he recounted that he was a victim of bullying, naming by six of his classmates.

However, the hell that the 14-year-old student was living through seems to have gone unnoticed by his parents.

The father's first words to media showed ignorance, as, as he allegedly said, there was no clue in the house to show what the 14-year-old described in his notes. It should be noted, however, that, according to information in the press, the 14-year-old's family is unable to give an official testimony, yet, because of the shock suffered.

In the student's home there was not only one note, but many, in which the 14-year-old described the bullying that he received at school from classmates.

In the letter, he identified six of his classmates as bullies, saying, "These six have destroyed me, destroy them."
