Re: 13-year-old commits suicide after repeated bullying for being Welsh
It probably had a lot to do with her accent . I had a similar experience when my family moved back to Wales from Plymouth ( my dad was in the Royal Navy) when I was 10 yrs old . Having an English accent made me the subject of relentless bullying for a awhile , I soon picked up a Welsh accent and it stopped .
Children of that age home in on any perceived 'difference' , be it shyness or a 'funny' accent and can be quite vicious .
