865) BULLY VICTIM BEGAN DRAWING STRANGE MONSTERS, CUT HERSELF, SAYS MOTHER - THE VIBES - 23/09/2025
A 14-YEAR-old female student allegedly suffered serious emotional distress including suicidal tendencies after repeatedly being bullied at a secondary school in Hulu Langat, Selangor.
According to her mother, Nurul Afeeza Mohd Tarmedi, 31, her daughter told her about the bullying several times since she moved to the school last July, but the problem had never been resolved despite complaints to the school.
The housewife said her daughter was bullied by several students as early as the second day she entered the school after she transferred from a school in Kedah.
“She told me that he had been teased and ostracized by several students. I have informed the disciplinary teacher, but this case has continued to recur.
“On Friday, September 12 before the school holidays, she was once again teased and harassed.
I started to notice that his condition was getting worse when she sat in his room and drew strange pictures,” she said during a press conference at the Malaysian Islamic Consumers Association (PPIM) headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, today.
According to reports in Kosmo! Nurul Afeeza added that her daughter's drawings included dark images and symbols of stress that showed depression, and some even depicted the idea of ending her life.
"I was surprised when she wrote 'I'm stressed, tired and irritable'. She admitted to feeling irritable because she was being teased and ostracized every day. I didn't think this bullying would reach the point where my girl wanted to hurt herself.
"However, this matter didn't stop there when another of my children informed me that my girl had cut her hand and when I checked, there were indeed several cuts on her left wrist," she said.
She said that the PPIM had helped the teenager to get psychiatric help and the tests found that the student involved showed a very high emotional score and symptoms of depression that were at risk of a level one suicide attempt.
PPIM Advisory Panel, Prof. Dr. Mohd Sahandri Gani Hamzah informed that experts also confirmed that the victim faced continuous bullying, including verbal taunts, slander, and social isolation which had a profound impact on her mental health.
Form Two student in Mantin afraid to attend school
Also experiencing the same fate was a form two student at a school in Mantin, Negeri Sembilan who was also a victim of bullying to the point that she was afraid to attend school.
The victim's sister, Siti Wan Norasyirah, 24, said that her sister suffered severe trauma after being a victim of bullying to the point that she was hit in the face with a glass bottle and her headscarf was pulled.
"The incident occurred on August 20 during the co-curricular break after a minor disagreement.
"The bully accused my sister of trying to 'kidnap' her friend and boyfriend. Because of that trivial matter, my sister was kicked in the back, her headscarf was pulled until her hair and neck were visible, before her face was hit with a glass water bottle," she said.
Even more surprising, she said, was that the school only resolved the case in the counseling room by asking the bully to apologize, without informing the parents or the school principal. - September 23, 2024
