The bully, the bullied, and the bystander: Breaking the cycle of violence
Written by: Barbara Coloroso
Release date: Oct. 2002
Published by: HarperCollins Canada Ltd.
“The common thread among all of these children is that they were bullied relentlessly. In all of these tragedies the bullying went on without substantial objections, indignation, adequate intervention, or outrage. We are devastated by the final act of violence but rarely outraged by the events that led to that final act. Bullying is a learned behavior; if it can be learned it can be examined and it can be changed.”

Dawn Marie Wesley,14, hanged herself with her dog's leash in her bedroom. She left a note naming three girls at her school she said were "killing her" because of their bullying.

"If I try to get help it will get worse. They are always looking for a new person to beat up and they are the toughest girls. If I ratted they would get suspended and there would be no stopping them. I love you all so much."

The girls named in the note were suspended from school.

March 2000, Surrey, B.C., Canada
Hamed Nastih, 14, leapt to his death from the Patullo Bridge. He left a five-page note for his family describing in detail the bullying and taunting that drove him to suicide.

"Mom, I was teased at school by my mates, my classmates, even my own friends laughed at me. They always called me four eyes, big nose, and geek."

His mother said one of Hamed's last wishes was for people to stop harassing each other and to realize that taunting is hurtful. His friends felt powerless to stop the taunting he endured. "Everyone gets bullied. But this went too far. We stood up for him, but people couldn't get the hint that this went too far, and this pushed him."

April 1999, Tabor, Alta, Canada
A 14 year-old boy, who was an "at home" student. (He did schoolwork at home because he feared school), walked into the main hallway of the high school, shot and killed a 17-year-old student and badly wounded another before surrendering his gun and meekly submitting to arrest.

Classmates said the 14-year-old was "everybody's best punching bag." One student said "He'd sometimes get body-checked into the lockers. They'd try to pick fights with him and he'd just take it. They knew he wouldn't fight back."

The summer before the shooting, while on a scout outing, this "new kid in town" was stuck on a rock outcropping, unable to climb up or down. His fellow scouts laughed about his predicament and taunted him instead of helping him out.

April 1999, Littleton, Colorado
Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold used assault weapons and homemade bombs to lay siege to their high school. The two boys killed 12 classmates and a teacher, injured 18 other teenagers, and then killed themselves.

Their friends said the two boys were constantly ridiculed and taunted at school. There was an unfounded accusation made by an anonymous classmate that Eric and Dylan had brought marijuana to school, prompting a search of their property.

There was another incident, even more humiliating than the search. "People surrounded them in the commons and squirted ketchup packets all over them, laughing at them, calling them faggots. That happened while teachers watched. They couldn't fight back. They wore the ketchup all day and went home covered with it."

According to the school's student body president: Eric and Dylan felt bullied and alienated, and in their minds it was "payback time."

Nov. 1997, Victoria, B.C., Canada
Reena Virk, 14, died after being attacked and beaten unconscious by seven girls and one boy - all schoolmates. Reena's arm, neck, and back were deliberately broken before she was dumped in the Gorge Inlet.

Shy but earnest, she had tried to fit in and desperately wanted to belong to their group but was regularly and routinely mocked and taunted by her killers about her brown skin and her weight. Particularly startling was the fact that hundreds of students knew about the cruel and relentless taunting and even of her death before someone tipped off the police.

On May 8, 1998, two of the girls who lured Reena to the waterway where she was mobbed and killed were sentenced to a year in custody and another year of probation. The fourteen-year-old assailant said she was angry with Reena because she believed she had been spreading rumours about her. The sixteen-year-old assailant was mad at Reena because she believed she had been involved with her boyfriend.
