Bullying and Suicide. Both victims and perpetrators of bullying are at a higher risk for suicide than their peers. Children. who are both victims and perpetrators of bullying are at the highest risk (Kim & Leventhal, 2008; Hay & Meldrum, 2010; Kaminski & Fang, 2009). All three groups (victims, perpetrators, and perpe-. trator/victims) are more likely to be depressed than children who are not involved in bullying (Wang, Nansel et al., in press). Depression is a major risk factor for suicide.
Not murder, but depending on the severity and how directly the bullying is linked with the suicide they could be guilty of other crimes such as manslaughter.There was a case last year (IIRC) of a woman who tormented a girl who her daughter went to school with via facebook.f a boy is called stupid, gay or geek over and over again its boys being boys. I think its sickening and all bullies should be punished and the schools and school boards sued. They know its going on and ignore it. I reported my sons bullying and nothing was done.
