Regardless, what a ridiculously sad story, poor kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 11 October, 2013 Share Posted 11 October, 2013 Bullied for being white, but not one use of the word racism in that article. Flip it the other way... Terrible tragedy nonetheless.

JackanorySFC Posted 11 October, 2013 Share Posted 11 October, 2013 Unfortunately anti white bullying is extremely common (as are many types of bullying) in inner city schools. My Mum was a teacher at Regents Park School where the white girls were called "milk bottles" amongst other insults by groups of Asian girls. It seems to me that those that deny it takes place have never been to a genuinely ethnically mixed inner city school. Turkish, your example seems extreme and particularly tragic.

holepuncture Posted 11 October, 2013 Share Posted 11 October, 2013 Must. Not. Bite. What a terrible comment Jonnyboy. RIP little lad, my condolences to the family. Society really needs to stand up and take action. Mr Straw added: "These young men are in a western society, in any event, they act like any other young men, they're fizzing and popping with testosterone, they want some outlet for that, but Pakistani heritage girls are off-limits and they are expected to marry a Pakistani girl from Pakistan, typically," he said. "So they then seek other avenues and they see these young women, white girls who are vulnerable, some of them in care... who they think are easy meat. "Because they're vulnerable they ply them with gifts, they give them drugs, and then of course they're trapped." The fathers are cruising round run down towns up north tyring to groom vulnerable white teenage girls, or luring them into their kebab shops for rape and abuse... it comes as no surprise to me that they are passing their "values" down to their children. They will always see the white person, or westerner in general, as an inferior race as they do not bow to islam. It is a tragic situation which will continue to escalate.

The9 Posted 11 October, 2013 Share Posted 11 October, 2013 If someone kills themselves and blames it on someone else bullying them the what crime have they committed? Serious question. Suicide. Though in this case the question of being a minor probably means there's no offence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 11 October, 2013 Share Posted 11 October, 2013 Whatever the reason, be it for being white or being new - it really is heartbreaking. Education on bullying, of all types, needs to be stepped up. From a young age, children need to understand the impact in can have. This should be used as an example, and hopefully a catalyst for change. It's sad enough this poor kid felt no other option than to do this, let it not be in vein at the very least.

Whitey Grandad Posted 11 October, 2013 Share Posted 11 October, 2013 The school cannot abdicate responsibility. 'The Children Act 1989 provides that teachers have a duty of care towards the children under their supervision, as well as promoting the safety and welfare of the children in their care and the Health and Safety at Work act 1974 puts a further obligation on the school as a whole to safeguard the wellbeing and safety of pupils in its care' I'm sure the professionals amongst us could expand further on this but I'm sure that if some actions have been pointed out to the head teacher then some reasonable measures should have been taken to address the issues.

ecuk268 Posted 11 October, 2013 Share Posted 11 October, 2013 Bullying has always been with us but, when I was at school in the 60s, it was usually the fat kid with the NHS specs that was picked on. Is it more widespread now or were we tougher back then and gave as good as we got? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of a ridiculous generalisation. There has definitely been a problem with Muslim gangs grooming young non-muslim girls over the past few years, loads of court cases recently. My point being, that the contempt may be passing down through the generations. His comment is based on the agenda of the newspaper and that of the OP. Unfortunately there are bastards of every race and we should be aware of that. Correct, and inner cities have to bear the brunt, with hugely highly disproportional figures for certain groups, also highly disproportional figures for their victims against population figures. "In the five-month Scotland Yard study, suspects of African/Caribbean appearance were identified in 49 per cent of attacks. A further 13 per cent were committed by men of Indian/Pakistani appearance. Women and girls of white/European appearance accounted for 59 per cent of victims but the sexual violence also heavily affected the black community, with 28 per cent of victims described as African/Caribbean. About 70 per cent of victims were attacked in “outdoor locations”, often near main roads. Half the victims were under 21, with 75 per cent under 30. More than half the assaults involved three or more attackers." http://centurean2.wordpress.com/2010/06/28/rape-and-blacks-in-london/ One of the few police forces to have begun recording the figures of reported gang rape is the Metropolitan Police. In 2008 alone, they received reports of 85 gang rapes. Using the Met's definition of gang rape – those involving three or more perpetrators – we began to look at the number of convictions. We tracked down 29 cases, from January 2006 to March 2009, in which a total of 92 young people were convicted of involvement in gang rape. One fact stood out. Of those convicted, 66 were black or mixed race, 13 were white and the remainder were from other countries including Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/gang-rape-is-it-a-race-issue-1711381.html I apologise for taking the thread off topic.

Our school was merged with The Deanery in 1989. We had about a year of fighting while the new pecking order was established, but it was Deanery vs Cantell more than anything else (believe it or not, plenty of white kids from The Deanery). Bullying is bullying, and a kid choosing to take his or her own young life is always tragic under any circumstances. One of my best mates took his own life at 13. Truly gutting for everyone around him, something that'll probably haunt his family for the rest of their lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
