Student Suicide

See also: Suicide of Hamed Nastoh

Hamed Nastoh leapt to his death, from the Pattullo Bridge, in March 2000. He left a suicide note complaining about bullying.[31][32] Now the school Action/Anti-Bullying Team (or A Team) under the title "Stand-UP-People" works school-wide to enhance peer relations in the general population. The results are thought to be positive changes to bullying, reduced use of inappropriate language and peer pressure, plus increased social responsibility and altruism, though it isn't a credible claim to say so without a credible source. Students also wear pink anti-bullying shirts annually in February.
