A young man took his own life after he was humiliated in front of his entire school for cheating on a test.
18-year-old Charlie Brown who was a student of the Welkom High School, in South Africa took his own life after being humiliated in front of the entire school. He was forced to apologize in front of his entire school after being caught cheating on his test.
Brown’s mother, Linda Sekhosana, 45, said that her son was going to be transferred to a new school for the coming year.
Sekhosana said:
“He asked to be transferred to the new school immediately,”
“I did not realize there was a problem at school because I was not notified of the incident,” she said.
When the teen was found hanging in the garage of his home on Saturday, his mother was shocked.
His friend then told Sekhosana that he became the laughingstock of the school after he was forced to apologize publicly for cheating.
Brown’s parents learned that school has a rule that a student either go through a disciplinary process or automatically fail the test for cheating.
Sadly, this punishment was too humiliating and led to the teen’s suicide.

Cases of humiliation like this happens often in Nigerian schools, school authorities should rather find a better way to deal with examination malpractice than humiliating students. Or What do yo guys think?
