A 17-year-old female student has attempted suicide after she was repeatedly bullied and assaulted at a high school in Ethekweni – Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa.
The victim who is in Grade 11 slit her wrists and overdosed on medication on Thursday, February 27, 2025.
Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) was called to the home and found the teenage girl in a critical condition. She was rapidly transported to a local hospital.
When interviewed, her mother informed Reaction Officers that her daughter was being bullied and nothing had been done to the perpetrators.
