Bullied Student Attempts Suicide

According to Dibete Police acting station commander, assistant superintendent Edward Williams other students freed their colleague who was found hanging by the neck in the hostels.

“We received the report on Thursday from the school authorities that a 15-year-old student was found by other students hanging and he was taken to the clinic before he was taken to Mahalapye Primary Hospital where he was observed and later released,” he said. Williams said the student who used his school tie to try and take his own life told school authorities that he wanted to kill himself because he had had enough of being bullied by a fellow 15-year-old Form Three student, who would always bully him and take his food during mealtime.
