Another senseless death caused by school harassment

Thirty years ago, if a bully harassed a schoolmate, there's a good chance the victim would punch their lights out. You didn't hear much about serial harassment then, because the response to the first incident often kept it from becoming serial.

Something changed along the way that discouraged fighting back. Most likely, it's because schools blame the victims. Look at a harasser cockeyed, and you can find yourself in more trouble than you ever thought possible.

Now an 11-year-old boy in DeKalb County, Georgia, has become the latest victim to commit suicide, after his school refused to act against the harassers.

How many more suicides do there have to be before schools take harassment seriously?
