Hi dear reader! This news impacted me a lot when I read it and that’s why I share it with you.
Julia died aged 16 in October 2015, five days after attempting to take her own life. She did that because of the bulling that she received for her high school classmates and returned to the websites where she was abused to convince the people that she was a great person, and she only wanted to be loved and accepted.
When she was only 13, Julia talks with a friend about her sexuality, and this friend told to everyone in the school what Julia had explained to her. From that moment the bullying started. Julia was abused physically, psychologically and online. When the bullying stated Julia was living in the USA, but she returned to the UK, to live the last years with her father.
After her death, ulia’s father, Adrian Derbyshire, started a campaign to offer «support against self harm and suicide. «I wouldn’t want any other parent to go through what I am going through at the moment,» He said. Adrian had talked to more than 200.000 children in the last two years about his experience and he thinks that should be more education in schools about abuses online to protect our children. He also shared pictures of her dead daughter in the hospital to raise awareness, «It was a very difficult decision to take the picture» he said.
When I saw this sad news I thought that it is very sad that to talk about sexuality a girl so young has to die. It does not stop surprising me how little our society evolves.
if travelling was free, bye!
