Bully
9.30pm BBC2
"The parents are always the last to know." That is the chilling message mothers and fathers will take away from this heartbreaking documentary about three teenagers who took their own lives in order to escape the torment of being bullied.
Sticks and Stones is the first programme in BBC Education's Bully season. It tells the tragic story of 16-year-old Katharine Bamber: bullied by the girls she thought were her friends. Also 16-year-old Mark Maclagan, who, due back for another term's persecution at naval college, hanged himself from a tree.
Finally, there is 13-year-old Vijay Singh, who hated the journey to and from school because he was always attacked and taunted. He was found by his mother, hanging from the bannisters.
