Local teen transfers schools after being bullied

The group Mental Health America came out with some startling findings from 2022. One of those findings: 15% of youth experienced a major depressive episode in the past year.
Fenton mother Shaquila Appling said her daughter Ashira was one of those youth.
Ashira Appling, 14, recalled the torment she said she endured at Ridgewood Middle School in the Fox C-6 School District for more than two years.
"It felt like a never-ending loop of the exact same day. Every day I would get called the N-Word, I would hear it in the halls, I would get in trouble for something I didn't do, and it was just repeating like a never-ending void of darkness. I would never want anybody to go through that,” Ashira said.

I was bullied horribly in middle school in the early 90s, and the school did nothing about it. Nice to see that at some schools, little has changed despite all the anti-bullying propaganda put up in the halls of the schools. It needs to be taken seriously, kids can have lifelong emotional problems from unchecked trauma from bullying.
