But you're blaming the boy for being "selfish". The school was informed of the bullying, as were the police nothing was done and the bullying is still a major problem. The parents weren't the most supportive as they disagreed with each other a lot. My friend was bullied because he refused to join the "popular" hangout at school and instead befriended my friends and I. And if you know what it's like to become severely depressed, it's difficult to think anyone would miss you if you died.
