[Depressed Cat]

While schools are meant to be safe learning spaces for students, it can be a different story for some children. Bullying has become an issue for many students, whether it is online or in a classroom setting. For some families, they said their children were "bullied to death," with their sons and daughters dying by suicide.

Below are the names of at least 12 other children whose deaths were within the last two decades. The heartbreaking fact is that there are thousands more missing from this list -- and thousands more could be added in the years to come as youth suicides continue.

These are the names of about a dozen children who have died by suicide. There are thousands more.

Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that at least 3,600 children under the age of 13 died by suicide in the last two decades.

Very sad. Some people can be very cruel. It is such a depressing world we live in.

This is tragic. It can be hard for an adult to deal with constant bullying, let alone young kids who haven't had a chance to develop any coping skills and feel trapped.
