As parents, grandparents, teacher, leaders and citizens, we have the honor and responsibility to protect and educate our teens. On a regular basis, people are hearing horror stories about bullying and cyber bullying on programs, such as Oprah and Dr. Phil. It is a growing epidemic. The following is from our book, Character Keys to a Bright Future, copyright, 2004:
Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada:
Sixteen months ago, Dawn-Marie Wesley killed herself. The 14-year-old said she had been bullied and threatened. She said she believed death was her only escape.
Two teenage girls from her school were charged with criminal harassment and uttering threats. A judge found one of the two teenage girls guilty on two counts of uttering threats and one of criminal harassment in her death. During their trial, the court heard one accused say she’d beat up Dawn Marie. In a phone call, the other accused teen admitted calling Dawn Marie and saying: “You’re dead.” The defense had argued these are common schoolyard threats. The guilty teen will be sentenced at a later date. A third girl still faces trial, also on charges of threatening Dawn Marie.
Cindy Wesley, Dawn Marie’s mother, says she hopes people will take bullying much more seriously now. Just six months before Dawn Marie hanged herself, another B.C. teen Hamed Nastoh jumped off a bridge and died in Surrey, leaving a note saying constant bullying made him do it.
