Dagmara Przybysz, 16, who moved to the UK with her family nine years ago, died at her school, Pool academy in Redruth, Cornwall. She had previously been told she “did not belong here”.

Dagmara was described as a beautiful, happy and popular pupil who had an extremely bright future and planned to study photography at college. But the inquest heard she had confided to friends and family that she had been singled out because of her nationality by bullies who called her a 'stupid Pole' and told her she “did not belong here”.

Her mother, Ewelina Przybysz, said she understood her daughter had been having a problem with one girl who had 'called Dagmara names' I don’t know exactly what was said,” she said. “This incident occurred only a few days before Dagmara passed away.”

She said Dagmara had been subjected to racist insults in the past but added that she believed her daughter’s problems went wider. Dagmara’s boyfriend, Lewis Simpson, told the inquest that he thought she had been affected by racist comments, saying: “I think it got to her a little bit.”

The alarm was raised when Dagmara failed to turn up for a lesson. A postmortem found she died as a result of hanging.

Ewelina Przybysz told the inquest Dagmara had spoken to her about problems she was having at school. 'She told me she would have comments such as ‘stupid Pole’. Comments were made towards another Polish child and Dagmara would always try to stand up to them. She commented she did not like it when someone was nasty behind her back. She often talked about problems and she was often hurt when people said unpleasant things.'

The inquest also heard about an incident in a PE lesson that left Dagmara very upset the day before she died.

She fell out with pupils during a rounders game and needed medical treatment after striking a wall in frustration. Her mother said: 'She punched a wall so she could get away from these girls and the school.'

Przybysz also mentioned a post her daughter made on the social network site Ask.fm: “She wrote on Ask.fm in answer to a question about what problems she had at school. Dagmara wrote ‘racism’.”

Lewis Simpson told the inquest: 'When I saw her on Monday, she was agitated at what happened in PE. She said: ‘What would you do if I killed myself? I did not take it seriously, as I thought was just worked up by hurting her hand.'

A school friend, who cannot be named for reasons, also told the inquest Dagmara had been targeted by racist bullies. She said: 'I used to sit next to her in class. She told me when year 10 [aged 14-15] girls said she ‘did not belong here’. I told her to report this.'

Dagmara’s father, Jedrzej Przybysz, said that on the morning of her death he received a phone call from his daughter. 'She was upset and crying and did not want to tell me the reason, Later on, she said she had problems at school that she said I would not understand. I told her to go to school and on return we would have a serious conversation about this problem.'

Przybysz said his daughter had made many friends at primary school since coming to the UK in February 2009 but had not settled at secondary school and asked to move.

Dagmara’s uncle, Tomasz Dobek, took her to hospital after she hurt her hand in the PE lesson.

He told the inquest: “We saw two girls on the pavement and Dagmara said: ‘Uncle, can you run them over.’ She told me she had hurt her hand while punching the wall as some girls had laughed at her because she could not play the game properly.'

that is pretty much an empty threat designed to keep the kids who follow the education routines in line and avoid them creating conflicts that are harder for the schools to deal with

there are two reasonable solutions:

have parents show up and threaten to sue the family of the school and subpoena every teacher as a witness, essentially tying up tons of school resources

or

have the kid fight back with excessive force, receive an extended suspension/expulsion, and put them in another school thereafter

the important thing is parents know what's going on.

Happened to me a few times

I was like 11 years old, even younger. I'd get beaten up by a bunch of other kids, and then they'd tell the teacher I started it and I was the only one who got detention

Basically, I'd be in detention for getting beaten up

It's rarely worth getting 2 weeks suspension and having your GPA suffer for it

Fighting back is always admirable but people need to stop acting like it lacks consequences

It's also dumb anyway.

She's a 16 year old girl with potentially 1 other also female polish friend.

6 boys come up and call her a Dumb Pole **** Slut who doesn't belong.

And your advice is make a fist and deck one in the chin?

Good luck with that.

Even if it's one other girl and she punches her, then what happens? As stated suspensions or expelled hurting her education. And now you have a less or unedcated person who is violent. Doesn't end well.

Hell responding to bullies period with "Why didn't the victim just punch them!?" reflects a horrible attitude in the first place IMO.

I mean shit... Even not fighting back can have consequences if the bullies are really out to get you.

I was hospitalized multiple times, but the people doing it always got off scott free because they had 8-10 witnesses say that I threw the first punch, despite never even hitting them. I was attacked with a variety of weapons from being stabbed with freshly sharpened pencils to baseball bats.

And I always told the teachers and principal who did it when I could, but it was my word against 8-10 other students, so the school suspended me longer because "I started it".

The only time I didn't get in trouble for "starting it" was when the kid didn't realize a teacher was watching and grabbed me by the throat, slammed me against the wall, and started punching me in the side. I still got suspended because of the "zero tolerance for fighting" policy. <_<

This was in elementary school, so 5th grade at most. <_<

You know damn well that schools don't do shit and parents can't do shit.

A person can only take so much before they break. You are acting like they should become doormats to these bullies.

As a person who was bullied in school, you want to know what worked? Standing up for yourself. Bullies like to pick the lowest hanging fruit afterall.

IT doesn't matter if they were on the same side. Polish people got shit on by everybody back then in Europe. Thats what I mean't with back to WW2. Even in America when Polish immigrants came over they were viewed badly.
