Last week, on November 28, Marjorie Raymond killed herself due to bullying. Even if her death is really sad and she should’ve look for another way to deal with her problems than suicide, I think it’s wrong of people to get back at Jade, the one who bullied Marjorie, because defending bullying by bullying is not the right way to deal with the problem. People are just doing exactly what they are criticizing. There is something that most people don’t understand. They shouldn’t bully Jade for what she have done, because we don’t really know if she is the only cause of Marjorie’s suicide. Before killing herself Marjorie wrote a letter to her family, she was saying that it was not her mother’s fault and that “it’s the fault of life, of jealous people who want to ruin their happiness”. It’s the kind of letter that no one wants to receive from their daughter.
"I've been actually really very pleased to see how much awareness was raised around bullying, and how deeply it affects everyone. You know, you don't have to be the loser kid in high school to be bullied. Bullying and being picked on comes in so many different forms." - Lady Gaga
I find it unfair that people are talking so much about Marjorie when she is just one of many others! 5000 teens are killing themselves every year and we don’t hear about them. Why? Because a little boy who is overweight or a teen who’s gay have reasons to be bullied, but Marjorie a girl who doesn’t seem different from any other teens doesn’t have a reason to be bullied. That’s how most people think and I hate it.
"The things that make me very angry are injustice and bullying. If I see someone bullying a woman or child in the street, or kicking a dog, I go completely mad." - Susannah York
Right now, a lot of people are posting videos on Youtube where they talk about intimidation and some of them are also sharing their secrets, the way they were bullied, how they got through it, etc. Every video I watched was really sad and made me angry and I really want to do something so that bullying will stop, but what can I do?
Here is my favorite video I watched last week. Please listen to it and tell me what you think. ( Sorry it's in french)
