13-year-old Michigan boy who was relentlessly bullied for his weight, glasses and braces kills himself
Michael Martin ended his life after neither the school nor the transportation authorities intervened to stop the bullying despite his mother's efforts to warn them
A teenage Michigan boy killed himself after he was relentlessly bullied at his high school and on the bus ride to and from school. 13-year-old Michael Martin attempted to take his life on January 23 this past month and was taken off life support two days later at 3:20 pm and his mother has squarely placed the blame on the school district and the bus transportation authorities for failing to take action despite numerous requests.
According to the Daily Mail, Martin, who was an eighth-grader at the Everett High School in Lansing, was bullied for his weight, glasses, and braces, with the bullying getting so bad that the 13-year-old began skipping out on classes.
