I am wondering what you would do in this situation.
2 years ago, a 12 year old girl at your DD's school commits suicide. This girl happened to be a friend of your DD.
Bullying is found to be suspected cause for suicide.
DD doesn't speak much on the subject, other than to say how much she misses her and to have the odd cry.
2 years later, you come across an msn conversation between your DD and another girl and one particular message catches your eye ...
"Just cos u feel guilty about (suicide girl) u take it out on every1 else. get councelling or summink cos we r sick of it"
you ask DD what the message meant, she breaks down and says it was all her fault, she was to blame for the girl taking her own life.
Turns out that a few days before the death, your DD and the girl had argued and your DD had said to her "no wonder you get bullied, you bring it all on yourself"
So what would you do? Not my DD btw.
