Bullied teen suspended for not reporting bullying [View all]
A Lithonia High School student says she was suspended for two days for not reporting that she was being bullied.
Essance McDougald says she told her grandmother to report it instead, since she told teachers about the threats three weeks ago, but they never stopped.
Essance says two older girls locked her in the women’s bathroom at school and tried to fight her three weeks ago.

I'm happy they're trying to address bullying, but really? Why is the victim being punished?
