An 11 year old girl committed suicide by hanging herself with a belt on Thursday night, and the cause was bullying. The young girl kept a diary, which is where she stated that she had been bullied. This story really got to me, because I myself had been bullied throughout my school grade years.
Police are investigating whether an 11-year-old girl’s suicide is the result of bullying at the school she attended, a police spokesman said Friday.
The girl, who attended St. Anastasia Catholic School in Fort Pierce, was found by her parents Thursday night in her bedroom closet, said Officer Tom Nichols, police spokesman.
“She had a diary,” Nichols said. “There are entries in her diary where it indicated she was being bullied at school.”
Nichols said the girl’s parents found her about 11:30 p.m., hanging in her closet with a belt wrapped around her neck. The girl’s father lifted her up and her mother tore down the shelf.
Nichols declined to identify the girl or go into details about the diary entries. The girl did not leave a suicide note.
