Hey May,
I agree with you 💯... it's so sad that the girl could not find it in herself to trust her parents or any senior person. Often the victim doesn't realise that their fear is what gives power to the bully. I speak from personal experience where my sister was a victim of a very bad relationship in college and she could not get out of the vicious circle on her own. She ended up trying suicide but luckily I found her in the nick of time and could finally convince her that as a family we could fight that horrible man out of her life.
We had to literally beat him up in front of her to break through her terror. I don't know why such horrible parasites exist in this world, and they always find victims...but if only these victims could be convinced that help is always always always available so many lives could be saved.
And what this girl failed to see that her suicide is a much much bigger burden for her parents to bear than momentary shame.
I pray for the parents and hope they find the strength to go on. As for that bully, I really hope karma comes calling soon.
