I can relate to the misery this lad felt, when i was at school (in the 1970s) i was the fat little kid with national health specs and i had a horrendous time at school, there was no physical bullying it was all mental (constant name calling and threats etc) but at least when i came home it stopped until school the next day whereas now with social media it's constant, my parents never knew about this as back then getting your parents and teachers involved made the situation a lot worse, the only pleasure i got was that now and then they got caught bullying someone and got the cane for their troubles, i hated every minute of school because of this and blame it (and them) for my lack of self belief and confidence through my life. i never thought about taking my own life all i wanted was revenge and to get my own back somehow which i did to a few of them in later life as i saw a couple of them out and told their wives what they did and how it has affected me and felt no guilt in doing so after, i still feel bitter even now towards these people and will probably always will do.
