Bullied Irish Teen Commits Suicide

Lara Burns, a 12 year-old teen from Kilcock, Ireland was found dead Saturday evening. As it appears she committed suicide after being a victim of cyber bullying. 

Lara was a first year student at Maynooth Post Primary School; in a statement the victim’s school described her death as a terrible tragedy.

“We are deeply saddened by these events. Our sympathy and thoughts are with Lara's family and friends.”

Facebook tribute pages have been set up already and people are showing their support via comments. One of them states, “It’s sick to see what bullying makes people do. Yesterday we lost a innocent girl because of it. We have to take action. R.I.P.”

Lara is the third suicide in Ireland in three months as a result of cyber bullying, the other's being 15 year-old Ciara Pugsley in September and 13 year-old Erin Gallagher in October.
