We the adults must address this problem; we are losing too many children.
14-year-old Bennion Jr. High student commits suicide
TAYLORSVILLE, Utah A 14-year-old boy died Thursday afternoon after he shot himself on a skywalk leading to Bennion Jr. High School in Taylorsville.
The family allowed police to release the name of the victim. He was identified as David Q. Phan.
The shooting occurred at about 3 p.m., shortly after school ended for the day...
...Maheta Wily says she wasnt completely surprised to learn of the suicide; the boy had been bullied for years.
Kind of half and half I kind of did feel it coming but I didnt know it would go that far, Maheta said. They name-called, they played jokes on him. They had charity week and they sent him telegram teasing him and in PE class they stole his clothes.
A spokesman for Granite School District said David reported being bullied while in the seventh grade and had been meeting with a counselor on a regular basis, but had not made any recent reports of being bullied.
