Teen who took her own life at school said she'd been subject to racist bullying

A sixteen year old girl who was found dead at her school in Cornwallsaid she had been bullied and experienced incidents of racism.

Dagmara Przybysz was found in the toilets of Pool Academy in May 2016.

An inquest into her death heard the teenager, who died as a result of hanging, had been having trouble with some girls at her school.

Dagmara's mother Evaleena told the hearing Dagmara had spoken of incidents of bullying and racism.

Mrs Przbysz recalled one occasion when her daughter said a group of girls passed her and she'd overheard a comment like "stupid Pole".

She also told the coroner at the hearing in Truro that Dagmara had said a girl had barged into her at the school.

In a statement Dagmara's father said a girl had been nasty to her on a website. He'd spoken to her not long before she died and she was upset and crying.

The inquest is due to last for three days.
