14 years old Dominik
Szymanski (from Poland) hung himself after experiencing severe bullying at
school. In his farewell letter to his mother, he apologised for the action he
was about to take and also named the bullies. According
to the letter, classmates were calling him ‘Faggot’ and throwing stones at him.
Constant hatred from peers became unbearable and consequently, mother found his body hung on
the shoelaces..
Unfortunately Dominik is
not an exception.. Inability of educational system to tackle homophobia at
schools often results in these terrible cases. Similarly, Polish Minister of
Education, who in fact showed up at the protest today, did not even express her
sorrow and started outlining irrelevant statistics how efficient the Ministry
of Education is in Poland.
