Yeah sorry I should have expanded. In my year there was about 60. I never witnessed any in my year group. Doesn't mean there wasn't any.

Thats tragic.
Cumbria is such a nice place too. I could maybe understand if he had stayed in Tower Hamlets and couldnt handle it anymore, but to be in such a beautiful part of the country with all the places he could explore and have fun times in even on his own, and still kill himself is a bit of a shame.

He's ten. I'm sure he's not going to be thinking of his family's feelings being hurt. In fact, it's never selfish to take your own life, because if you're at that point where you're ready to do it, then I doubt you'd be able to think about anything else other than doing it.
A few kids at my school killed themselves by jumping off the bridge onto an A road.
Ultimately it is, his family now have to deal with the impact of his death.
Saying that I doubt very much whether a 10 year old could begin to comprehend the implications of his actions.

Nobody regardless of their age that seriously want to kill themselves (excluding people with terminal illness) are in a 'rational' state of mind, for some people it's years of self-conditioning, convincing themselves that the world would be a better place without them, that ultimately they would be doing their family a favour in the long run if they wasn't alive, do you know what's it's like to be in that frame of mind?
It's easy to call suicide a selfish act from a rational and objective standpoint but rationality and objectively don't bound well with suicidal thoughts unfortunately.

Because kids can be nasty ****s and at that age school is everything to you. More than family, even. It's only when you're older and wiser you wonder how a bunch of losers could make you feel so bad.
Bullying at school is one of those things that either makes you or breaks you.
i dunno, take the internet as the cliché example. Unless they are vetted they can access anything from their bedrooms. ANYTHING the most filthy disgusting perverted stuff in the world. I wouldn't even dream of having access to that stuff...
mass media really has become hideously invasive in the past 20 years, the cult of celebrity included.
it is overpowering for an unguided kid id imagine.

Poor fella, i hope the kids that bullied him feel like **** now and are not all "lol wicked innit"
Did he actually lock it? "Locked himself inside" is an expression that doesn't necessarily mean that.
It's not just kids, i've seen various amounts of bullying happen on this forum and in the real world that could resort to people considering suicide. The forum bullying is classed as cyber bullying whether you're meaning it as tongue to cheek it can be taken completely the wrong way.
This should be yet another wake up call not just to bullying at school, but in various areas such as the internet.
