infonubia: this advise is worthless, life is not fair to anyone and anything, pray you don't have a weakling that cant face his peers but can stand the pains of death. such individual is a coward and i dare not pride in calling that person my child, if you cant stand abuse, how can u stand life's hostilities? how can you stand series of heart breaks along the way? how can they stand the disappointments of life? what if war breaks out like syria, afghan, iraq, egypt e.t.c. then a grown 12yr old stands in the middle of the street confused like a chicken. they mostly end up being alcoholics and drug addicts because they think they need an external influence to be real people. at 12yrs her mates in Biafra/liberia are facing the Nigerian and Liberian forces head on in defense of the home front. those sissies don't deserve to live in our society, they make life look like a walk in the park, they are a distraction to courageous and serious people. there is a reason why "the survival of the fittest is a general rule." 1 Like |

i'll just say its life.... You see, nothing in this twisted world is purfect. Take me to america and i enjoy to the fullest all the human rights a functioning govt has to offer, but what does it produce alongside?? lilly livered, psycho-weak, socio-disconnected homo sapiens. Bring me back to the equator; the sun bakes me for good, life is a daily war and survival instincts far supercede improved quality of life and living. dont we too have the dead to testify to our sub-human nature too? brings ALUU 4 to mind right? but at d end you become a toughened soldier of fate. its just life doing its own russian roulette on everyone....btw RIP to the dead. |

Students in African(Nigerian) schools hardly get bullied by their peers (except maybe in the universities). They are mostly bullied by their school seniors. If you do your research well you would find out that most of these foreign children that commit suicides were bullied by their peers and not by their seniors. Peer pressure will push a child to suicide much quicker than being bullied by older students. Also i think white people are generally more sensitive and emotional than blacks. 3 Likes |

Such a saaaaad story. But two factors are usually at play when a situation like this occurs. The major factor is a culture in which suicide is regarded as a cry for help as opposed to the African concept of suicide as an abomination. In other words, the American culture sympatizes with suicide victims but the African culture is generallyangry with them. The second factor is poor self~esteem which could stem from all sorts of psychological issues. Many victims tend to cover this up but sooner or later they are unmasked when they cannot stand up to bullies. Bullying is part of life and it can never go away. |

gboss4sure: This american kids self. American parents should register their children in a Nigerian school for one term so that they will pass through the mind training stage and bullying stage which will make them immune to bully. You took the word right outta my mouth. i remember a woman who lived close to my former school(uniben) back then. i went visiting and i was shocked to see these average looking, typical edo looking kids speak with an accent. i was forced to ask questions and i was told that they were born and raised in yankee for some years, up till about age 6 or so after which their parents practically deported them (lmao) back to naija to come and get some toughening experiences...and i must tell they were fast learners. i just smiled at such move...to me that was a wise one from the parents. |

Pace$etter: NO YOU DEATH [quote author=Tonylyte][/quote] How did they get your Naked picture? even in some Nigerian boarding schools, they do w@nk!ng competition where the whole gangs gather to test who has the longest expulsion, who cares if you are taking pictures? it used to be a thing of pride. there were no phones during our own time and camera was still a luxury so i cant say how one may feel at the time, however, for Nigerian kids, it will be difficult to torment them with such, save for the ajebota. sadly, na the kpako guys they marry the Ajebo girls. |

Ishilove: My dear, No worry... I didnt attend those porshe schools o!! Una for beat me which is fine, but shey you go change school after your brothers go, abi them go follow you dey come class? Thinking of it now, Eze Mmuo's mother actually had tears in her eyes that day she came to school to plead with us to stop.. I'm truly ashamed of myself now that I think of it. She was an elderly woman and didnt even do the normal challenge or threats that most mothers would have done. She actually begged us to stop. Jesus!! I was one mean arsehole as a young lad sha.. I guess I picked on others because I didnt want others to pick on me. However, I got it bad in the University. I remember how my roomate once yabbed me so badly that I cried. People were laffing that day so hard that they were falling over each other. One boy actually choked on his own laughter.. #Warri Boys are not to be messed with.. |

victorv12: I'm laughing my 9ja laugh over this cyber-bullying news, It's funny. But African kids are worst off. We're being bullied at home and in school, which eventually on the long run causes psychological problems . The effect of our own bullying is even more dangerous than the ones in the west. They have psychiatric institutions to attend to their own case but in our own, that doesn't happen. Our own effect of bullying reflects when we are get older. We may not commit suicide, but we know how to oppress ourselves with bitterness. 'our bullying generates into greed'. Where did you get that from? How can you defend such a statement? Does it mean in a society where there is no bullying, then there is no corruption? Greed is greed, stealing is stealing. if we should accept your premise, then it means a thief can also say he became a thief because he was bullied while growing up. That is total hogwash. |

Have you forgotten Anita Horgan incident some years back? when her unclad picture was in every newspaper and the internet,did she kill herself?noooo.she moved on with her life as if nothing happened. Take it or leave it, Nigerians can withstand any form of bullying. I was bullied left right and center as a child and a teenager.I was bullied at home,in church,at school just everywhere. I was called all sorts of names to pimples garden,figure 1 etc.I had to be strong and now am so better than all of them that called me names because they cant just believe how I transformed to be a beautiful lady. They were busy bullying me but I developed strength by working on my self internally by doing a lot of reading and researching.Trust me people that bully others have inferiority complex.

davidylan: You have listed the reasons why the kids in America kill themselves and I have listed reasons why we would NOT kill ourselves over mere taunting on cyberspace or in our day to day interactions . It would be quite shady to deny or insist that the Nigerian environment you find yourself has no bearing on how we see life and how it shapes us, same way the American environment has shaped their kids as you listed. Your post is just an addition to mine and not one that would warrant an argument from me. 2 Likes |
Re: Bullying Make African Kids Stronger But Kills The American Kids: Why by Nobody: 2:02pm On Oct 18, 2013 |
Sweetlemon: If you read correctly I alluded to the shame these people feel. The problem now is if these people and the society consider it an INJUSTICE as much as they do with murder cases. A society that come up with arguments like 'what was the girl doing at his house at 8pm, what did she wear, why was she in a hotel' is not a society that understands injustice. Cynthia Isokogu the girl that was raped and killed in a hotel would not have gotten the nation's attention if a murder was NOT attached to the crime. If the girl was alive she would have hidden it that such ever happened to her. As per you last paragraph, this is akin to putting words in my mouth. I never called Nigerians strong people and alluded to the aggression we pose to scenarios like you painted instead of commuting suicide. |

Because we have more important things to worry about. This is one of the reasons I am proud if my upbringing in Nigeria. Both male and female, it makes you tough mentally and ready for the harsh realities of life. You realize that who said this or that isn't going to put food in your stomach or clothes on your back or a roof over your head. Even in the US just a decade or so ago, bullying was a nonissue. It was part of earning your stripes as you were maturing. However just like the UK, the US has become a nanny state where kids are mollycuddled. Look, bullying is wrong but that's not the issue here. The issue is that many kids growing up in the affluence of US have become mentally weak and many are even on drugs for one thing or the other. They cannot cope with life. Somewhere in Africa is an 11 year old girl whose parents have died and now shoulders the responsibility if caring for her two or three younger siblings. One must ask why she doesn't commit suicide. |
