Suicide is an act of intentionally causing someone his or her own death. Suicide is mostly committed out of desolation the cause of which is frequently caused by mental disorder such as depression, alcoholism, bipolar disorder, hopelessness or drug abuse. Stress factor such as economic difficulty and interpersonal relationship also plays a role in suicide. Sexual assault may bring up personal stress which leads to depressions resulting to someone committing suicide. Sexual assault is any kind of involuntary sexual act in which someone is threatened or forced to engage in sex against their will or any sexual touching of someone without their consent. Sexual assault is a statutory offence which is charged in law in various jurisdictions and defined as unwanted sexual contact that is interpreted as rape or an attempted rape.
Audrie Pott a 15 years old girl had attended a party at friend`s house where she passed out drunk. She woke up later and concluded that she had been sexually assaulted. Learning about the incidence through the marks she found a cross her private parts including the names of her friends responsible. The following days she was surprised to see unconcealed photos of herself circulate among her classmates along with emails and text messages about the occurrence.

The school rejected the charge against them on negligence. The school said that they had carried an internal audit on its staff and counseling records to find out if the girl had reported or sought for counseling. The investigation showed she never sought or reported. In my opinion the school was supposed to expel the accused teens from the school on learning their action to the girl. And they were responsible to find and give the girl counseling.
In my opinion the accused teens are supposed to be charged for the act by the court and sentenced for imprisonment and punishment. This will serve as an example to any other teens with similar thought all over the state. The school is supposed to be charged for negligence. This will help in schools administrations in taking responsible actions to students where they perform unwanted action in school or outside school. To parents they are supposed to be responsible to their child...
