Rape, the most heinous crime in human history. And a word which unfortunately we get to hear every day. Every day, the newspaper or TV media or the internet lets us know about a certain person getting raped. Trust me, I am shivering while writing this article. A woman who was raped committed suicide is probably one news we shouldn’t be hearing because rape shouldn’t be happening in the first place. And this is exactly what happened with this 13 year old. The letter left by her will tear you into pieces and make you believe that the world we live in is full of monsters.
And bullying is also one of those things which can wreck anyone forever. All of you will be able to relate to this. Be it at school or college or at your work or even on the internet, bullying can and is happening everywhere. And these two things literally need to be stopped. We often talk about wanting to live in a better place, but are we ever going to? Meet Cassidy Trevan, the 13 year old who was subjected to bullying and then was raped. You can feel the pain, right? Imagine what this little girl went through before she committed suicide.
Cassidy Trevan’s story is something that has sent me into a shock and I have no idea how to react. Hailing from Melbourne, Cassidy has been the prime subject of the bullies at her school. They would often slap her, call her things and what not. This went to the extent where this 13 year old was forced to drop a semester. The bullying was not just physical but also psychological. After returning from her much-needed break, Cassidy slowly started getting better.

The very same people who bullied her apologized and Cassidy being innocent not just forgive them, but also befriended them. Afterall, we all need friends. These very friends invited the 13 year old to a festival to which Cassidy happily agreed. However, what happened next is worse than your worst nightmares. The girls took Cassidy to a house where two boys, much older than her were waiting. And these, she was raped, one by one by both the boys. Sounds horrendous, I know.
Linda Trevan, Cassidy’s mother openly shared the entire incident on Facebook. As per Linda, this 13 year old was often slapped, abused on the internet and terrorized in every way possible. She even feared to go to the local shops. Even changing schools didn’t help. The traumatized mother even wrote an open letter on Facebook where she talked about the worldwide issue of bullying.
As Cassidy didn’t give out any names out of fear of the aftermath, the culprits are still free. Imagine a little girl pf 13 going through something as such, what world are we living in?
After getting bullied and raped, and before committing suicide, this 13 year old wrote a letter, here it is!
Shocked, aren’t you? A 13 year old going through things as such and committed suicide is not acceptable in any way and these things need to be stopped. Parents, if your child is subject to bullying, do something, dig deeper, talk to them. Even school authorities should be careful.
