EXCLUSIVE: Staten Island boy, 13, kills self after Holy Angels Catholic Academy staff ‘didn’t do anything’ to stop bullying

As I have always said... WORDS HURT ... it tears at your soul... when verbal abuse is an every day thing... which is done to you as a child... you NEVER forget the hateful words said to you... you see their faces... with the words you remember... and when you hear... those same words from some other person... you stand dead in one spot... bullying has to stop... and where it has to start... is inside the family homes... the children only repeat what they hear and see... their parents do and say...because of the abuse... and the bullying of me as a child... I tried to kill myself when I was 12years old... it takes every thing away from you... and you feel that you have to do something... for it to go away... you got to do it yourself... because no one has helped you...when you told them... you just got thrashed all the more for telling lies...  Ann

===============================

Before he took his own life, Daniel Fitzpatrick, taunted and bullied, wrote a final, heartbreaking letter lamenting that nearly no one tried to help him.
The 13-year-old Staten Island boy, mercilessly badgered over his weight, grades and his innocent heart, pleaded to his school for help.  But teacher after teacher at Holy Angels Catholic Academy — the principal, too — turned a deaf ear, refusing to intervene, he said in the letter that was never sent.
