Fifteen year old Marjorie Raymond committed suicide on Monday in Eastern Quebec. The cause : bullying. The cause of her sudden death was hinted at in a note she left behind for her family.
Marjorie's mother, Chantal LaRose, had planned on transferring her daughter into another school once she turned sixteen.
The school will implement short term suspension for suspected student bullies and therapy sessions for the rest of the school.
Premier Jean Charest took the opportunity to condemn bullying.
A public Facebook page created by two girls, Angel Mythe Reck & Gentil Dauphin Triste, continues Marjorie's humiliation even after her death.
Anti-bullying initiatives are now being re-examined to avoid cases like Marjorie's in the future.
