It’s so depressing. From the Times Online, Bullied girl ’stepped in front of train’.

A 14-year-old girl stepped in front of a train after her stepbrother confronted a classmate accused of bullying her, an inquest heard yesterday.

Kay Miller, who suffered from anorexia and a borderline personality disorder, panicked after her brother, a Welsh Guardsman, pushed the alleged bully over a wall and warned him to leave her alone…

…In a written statement her sister, Chloe, said: “I was with Kay, my stepdad and Geraint when we saw Scott Walker.

“He was in Kay’s class at school and he was saying things to her. Geraint went over and said, ‘Leave Kay alone.’ More of Scott’s friend’s came along. Scott’s sister slapped Geraint across the face. But he didn’t react. Tim told us to go home but Kay just ran away crying. She was a bit hysterical.”

God, I hate bullying. I’m so glad I’m not in junior high anymore. I’m so glad I got through it without killing myself, even though one of the bullies suggested that I should commit suicide. Yeah, like I was going to do anything that they said to do.

The inquest heard that the teenager had suffered from “borderline personality disorder” for six years. But she was tackling her problems and had lectured to more than 300 people on her eating disorder.

Also, how much do you think it helped this girl to diagnose her with borderline personality disorder at the age of eight? Would you say not at all? I would. Would you say it probably hurt her more than it helped her? I certainly would.
