Since 'bullycide' seems to be a hot topic these days; let me ask you this, who do you think is the most to blame when a kid who was getting bullied at school commits suicide? The school, the bully/bullies, the parents of the bullies, the parents of the bullied kid, or the kid himself?

The responsibility ultimately comes back to the child in question because a lot of people's lives are hell but the don't kill themselves for it.

It's a shared responsibility. Certainly the bully. The people in authority who allow it. A society that is apathetic or dismissive. I'm seeing an increasing lack of empathy in this country that is disturbing.

I'm gonna say noone. Clearly its an unfortunate and sad incident, but you can't blame a single person for another person's SUICIDE.

Everybody directly involved shares some blame.
The bully for doing the bullying, the school for allowing/enabling it, the parents for not doing anything beforehand, and yes, even the kid for choosing to end their pain by ending their life. Everyone shares some blame, whether we like it or not.

I don't like blaming the victim. In cases like this, I levy my vitriol at all those I bolded.
