The boy claimed he never told anyone he was bullied.
“I wrote my ex-girlfriend a song, to tell her that I am going to miss her because I might be moving to Florida. The bully warned me a few times to stay away from my ex-girlfriend.”
According to the boy, the girl has bullied him on three occasions. He said that he was scared to do anything about the situation because she is a girl and he was taught never to lift his hands to a woman, no matter what.
“Nobody thought it was that serious, but I felt like not being in the school any more and not even in Randfontein; I felt like a failure,” the boy said.
According to the boy, the school was very supportive and it is a fantastic school.
