Are you comfortable with your kids below 18 carrying Mobile phones to school? In Sri Lanka, a 14-year old girl is dead because of a Mobile phone!

In a country like Sri Lanka where over 20 years of civil war has caused many thousands of death, more death over a mobile phone use is the last thing anybody would want to hear about
A 14-year-old girl yesterday took her life when she was reprimanded by her school teacher for receiving her mobile phone call in class. She did not apparently want to be stopped from talking on her mobile phone in class and hence, took
the reprimand very personally. She was later found to have killed herself in a clear case of suicide.
Not long before, in a similar case, another teenager in Colombo attempted to kill herself over the same issue of mobile phones when her teacher and schoolmates disapproved of her using her mobile phone in class. These developments have jolted the Sri Lankan government to slam a ban on the use of mobile phones in all schools especially by kids under the age of 18.

This ban has also moderately affected teachers who have been asked to reduce on the use of Mobile phone in schools. If this policy remains as it is, then teachers here will probably be forced to put their phones on silent to avoid being seen to be openly using their phone.
In my opinion, I feel the use of phones ought to be regulated right at the family level to kids under 18. I am aware we live in a world where technology is proliferating in various forms. The family, especially parents of this girl would have helped to avert this disaster had they not been too liberal about phone ownership by kids in the family. May this tragedy teach all parents in the world to re-think this issue of kids holding mobile phones at a tender age.

School kids as young as five take their mobiles to school though I don’t think that they take calls during lessons!
we were never allowed to take mobiles to school, i know things change but i think this should be stopped as they dont pay attention as they are texting away instead of learning, as in the streets, schools are no different with kids stealing or killing to steal your stuff.
Please get your facts right before you write an article like this.
THE GIRL WAS NOT TALKING ON THE PHONE WHILE IN CLASS IT WAS FOUND IN HER POSSESSION WHEN THE PREFECTS CARRIED OUT A SUPPRISE CHECK ON GIRLS OF HER GRADE. ( IN THIS SCHOOL IT IS NORMAL FOR SUCH RADES TO HAPPEN)
check out some of the Sri Lankan news sites if you need clarification.
In Sri Lanka they are not allowed to take mobile phones to school. This girl has taken it to school without the permission of her parent or the teachers. The phone was caught to the prefects of the school while they were checking the school bags of the grade 10 students. It is not a rare incident to be caught with a mobile phone, but after that the students reputation will be bad. I think it is not a big incident to commit suicide. I’m a past student at this school.
To all who are concerned about this News:
The following is what really happened:
This incident happened on Wednesday the 22nd July 2009 at Museus (Ladies) College, Colombo, Sri Lanka.
The Prefects of the School had caught some students with Cell Phones in class room of Grade 9.
The prefects rebuked them all, this Particular girl (Aged 14 the only child in the family from Malabe, Sri Lanka) was among them and she was severely reprimanded for having saved Complete Nude Pictures & Videos of herself in her Cell Phone.
They all were taken to the Principals room & she, in fear and shame for herself and her family reputation, with the excuse of going to the toilet, left the principal’s room, since she didn’t return after 20 minutes has passed, the teachers went in search of her and then they noticed that the toilet was locked from inside & their wasn\’t any sound of the girl. Then the teachers with the help of other students and the janetors, broke the door. What they saw was that the girl hanging with her school Tie tightened to her neck and the other end of it tied to a Wooden Plank of the Ventilator.
They rushed her to the nearest private hospital and she died their after few Hours.
In regard to this incident, a 14 year old boy of Royal Institute Colombo (said to be the Lover of the Girl), was taken for questioning on suspicion by the Cinnamond Garden Police on Tuesday the 28th July 2009 evening. From this, the police came to know that this boy has gifted this Camera Cell Phone to this particular girl and he is the one who captured Nude Pictures and Videos of the the girl using that cell phone.
The Police came to conclusion that this girl has suicided in shame of others seeing her Nudity and fear of Family reputation.
This could have been prevented if the Parents had a Close Eye (rather than \”Closed Eye\”) on the Girl. These things happens due to exceeded freedom given by parents.
EDUCATION MINISTRY DECREES:
In move to create a well disciplined student population in the country, the Education Ministry is to issue a special circular that prevents students from bringing mobile phones to the schools.
Educational Directors islandwide have already been directed to maintain a high standard of discipline in schools under their command. This directive comes in the wake of a horrifying incident which brought death to one student in a leading school in Colombo.
Two students of a leading school in Colombo who carried mobile phones attempted to commit suicide after they were spotted by the prefects. They had tried to commit suicide.
One student died and other student is still receiving treatment at the hospital.
According to an Education Ministry official, this directive is applicable to the private and semi Government schools too.
He said bringing mobile phones to the school would be deemed an offence by the Ministry and the students who transgress these instructions will be severely dealt with.
Certain schools in the country where incidents of indiscipline are rampant have already directed the students not to bring mobile phones to the school.
`The parents are spoiling children by providing mobile phones to them. They should accept responsibility in moulding the characters of their children outside the schools, he said.
He said the teachers have been informed not to use mobile phones unnecessarily during school time.
*I prefer not to mention the girl’s name*
Even though she’s dead, we should not expose her! Atleast for the sake of her Family.
This is a think that never happen before??? or never caught before. She bad girl is it or she innocent girl how lived in a wrong place, wrong country or school???
Sri Lankan media always try to hide this because it is a insult to her shool actually it is well known one. Anyway this shows how much sri lankan teachers care about their childern, its not a big issue if it happen to their own childern but it has done by innocent student.
According to the father of victim, he says, the school authority did not allow him to see that phone, talk with the teachers who had investigete that issue and also the place where his daughter sucide. That also unfair accualy he has right know about this.
This shows the attitude of sri lankan society the always try to pretend as alian if they heard word “sex” they say we don’t know, that sort of people always has bad behaviour of their own life and hide it they wear a mask of angles.
This is a world of human, not any other creatures. This is not a problem of mobile this is a problem of how teachers should behave when problem occurs. Nomarlly sri lankan govenment aband the mobile phone as usually when problem occure they alway doing that sort of things anyway, I think parents should care about not only the mobile phone and also the teachers. Because there no “Guru deviyo” now it is vanish in sri lanka long long ago now there are”Guru marayo” only.???????
This is what really happened. Please don’t create stories and tarnish and image of an innocent 14 year old whose life was lost due to the incompetence of an educational institute.
When I heard of a girl jumping off a balcony of Museaus College and committing suicide sometime back I accepted the explanation in the media (obviously provided by the school) that this girl was suffering from depression and the parents were at fault for not informing the school.
When Kavindi Jayawrdena was found supposedly hanging in the teacher’s toilet the rest of the country accepted the school’s explanation through the media just as I did the last time.
Let me tell you my concerns and inability to accept the school’s explanation this time; I am sure the rest of you too would start thinking of why two young girls of the same institution decided to commit suicide due to their parents fault as this school is eager to make us believe.
I am a parent of a 14 year old girl (only child) and am fully aware of the growing pains of a teenager of this age. A fourteen year old is half child, an adolescent full of curiosity and unaware of the changes taking place in her life.
If this fourteen year old was in the procession of a mobile phone which is banned from school, what right has this institution exercised to chastise her in a manner that would lead her to harm her self? I doubt very much that Kavindi really took her own life.
I know now that the phones contained no harmful material or images as the school has led the public believe; the banning of cell phones in schools has further reinforced this myth. Why does this school try so hard to blame an innocent 14 year old girl and parents who have lost every thing having two deaths of students in one school within 2 years?
No action has been taken to investigate the real reasons for their deaths. Are parents of the other 6000 students in this institution convinced that their children will have an education which will make them good and responsible human beings having witnessed such horrendous situations and made to believe that this is ok and the victims are to be blamed for their deaths?
This institution that is called a school is hiding a dark secret with teachers acting as gods supreme commanders breeding prefects wielding ultimate powers over innocent children coming there in search of an education. Teachers hold the power of life and death of students in this school.
A school as I know it and would like it to be, is place of education for children with gentle guidance to life reinforcing the good values parents and society instills in growing children. If a child commits a wrong doing it is the duty of the school to handle it with wisdom and thought of the impact of the corrective action on the growing child’s mind and future. Are the teachers at this institution qualified psychologists or even educated in psychology which should be mandatory for all teachers.
How is it that the prefects wielded absolute power to reprimand a fellow student to such an extent that she would take her own life? Eye witnesses who are silent due to unknown pressure today have seen Kavindi being dragged by her tie (with which she is supposed to have hanged her self) by a prefect of this school.
She was locked up in the teacher’s room and found hanging in the teacher’s toilet (note and not in the students toilet); can this be accepted as plausible explanation for the death of a 14 year old student?
What happened to the other girls who inflicted harm to themselves as a result of this incident? How did the school buy their silence? After such a harrowing experience, their parents are willing to risk the lives of their own children by keeping silent and letting the school get away with murder.
Kavindi a beautiful 14 year old child, a flower nipped in the bud is silent today. We will never know the truth unless some one comes forward as a decent human being is expected to do and tell the world the truth about the cruelty exercised by an education institution on children who dared break their rules.
Mostly I would like to tell the world that the only crime Kavindi committed was to be found with a friend’s mobile phone in the schools premises; she did not own a mobile phone given by her parents or a so called boy friend. She is the only child of a professional accountant, a kidney transplant patient and not a cruel father who beat his only child.
The mother is a house wife who’s entire life was formed around little Kavinidi. She was a good student averaging 80% in all her subjects; she played the organ to sooth her mind at trouble times. She was surrounded by almost 30 cousins from the 14 siblings of her father’s side.
The school where she studied for 9 years did not offer a prayer for Kavindi while she was fighting for her life for two days in the ICU of a private hospital nor did they have a white flag at the school on the day of the funeral.
When she was found on this fateful day, supposedly after hanging her self, the teachers did not loosen the tie that was around her neck which would have saved her life nor rush her to the accident ward of the general hospital across the road from the school.
They hurried to the police station to make an entry prior to making any efforts to save her life and did not mention the reason for her condition when entering her to the private hospital which further delayed any action that would eventually have saved her life.
Before finally moving Kavindi out of your mind pleases dwell on what I have said for a moment and convince you’re self that parents of today should endure such atrocities solely in the name of an Education.
Kavindi may you rest in peace knowing at least that one individual in this world believes in the innocence of your fourteen year old mind.
This is about Anuththara Kavindi Jayawardene, the 14-year old girl from Musaus College who hung herself with her school tie on 22nd July 2009. Kavindi’s mother and I are best friends and Kavindi was a dear friend of my daughter. I have known Kavindi quite closely since she was in Montessori with my daughter.
Her father is a professional/graduate Accountant and her mother too was in the accountancy field before she gave up her job upon marriage. Her mum is from Kegalle, an innocent, down-to-earth, virtuous woman who was a devout Buddhist. Kavindi was an only child, extraordinarily beautiful and was very shy. She was a studious girl whose report cards received from school always described her as a “Siyalu Dena Samaga Sahayogayen Kriya Karana, Vineetha, Keekaru, Sisuwiyeki”. Anyone can take a look at her school books and report cards and see if she seems a disturbed and disobedient girl.
Kavindi’s mother was the kind of woman who even went to the extent of having a Bodhi Poojawa for my daughter who was a non-Buddhist, when she was sitting for her 5th Grade Scholarship exam, thinking of someone else’s child as her own.
So, it is so saddening to hear that her name has been tarnished by the school making her look like a girl who was into porn, boyfriends and similar stuff whereas in actual sense she was a girl who did not even collect pictures of movie stars, cricketers or any such thing that a teenager of today would do but was always getting good grades at school and excelling in studies. In fact, Kavindi was the pillar of strength to her mother during their family ordeal of Kavindi’s father going through a kidney transplant about two years ago.
She was very close to her mother and till her death Kavindi’s world and after school activities involved playing with her little cousins next door and helping her mother with housework. She was never into facebook, computer games, hip electronic gadgets or any such thing. I was always in and out of their house as Sandhya was the only woman on earth (except my own Mother) that I would trust to leave my daughter with whenever I had to leave my daughter with someone. Kavindi played hide and seek, dolls, house, Lego and similar games with her mother, my daughter and her little cousins from next door and was innocent and unspoiled and a far cry from what is being told about her now.
It is sad to learn from her classmates that a Prefect from her school actually dragged her by her tie upon confronting her for playing around with a mobile (which did not even belong to her) and taken her to the Principal’s office. This fact would now be denied by school authorities for obvious reasons but for a child who has never been reprimanded in her entire life for indiscipline just cannot bear such humiliation and public embarrassment. Even when her body was discovered hanging in the toilet, the teachers or authorities of the school had not even loosened her tie around the neck or given appropriate first aid to revive her. The only thing Museaus can do now is to tarnish her good name and make her look like a “bad girl” who committed suicide, thereby deviating the attention of the public to the fact that the girl was suspected, embarrassed in public, emotionally abused and mishandled by Prefects and Teachers who were not capable of understanding emotions of a 14-year old and never thought of repercussions of misjudgment, harshness, cruelty and public humiliation. She had in fact begged that it is okay to tell about the incident to her mother but never to tell her father because he was a kidney patient whom Kavindi always feared would die if he faces sadness.
The school authorities should also appoint Counselors in schools who are qualified enough to handle these kind of situations instead of having Teachers and mere school girls (Prefects) handling situations involving human emotions.
My only appeal to you is appropriate investigation and justice to a name unduly tarnished!!!!
Also note its not totally the students or parents fault. In Sri Lanka there are drunken teachers and rednecks with high blood pressure who are teaching the students. Have you seen teacher beating up students ??? Oh yea I have seen brutal beatings in my school which is situated in Colombo. I wont mention any details of the school cause they might kill me. anyway what I wanted to say is that first enforce the laws and give proper training for the teachers. They have no patience at all. They just beat the students as if we are terrorists. I am very happy I am leaving school this year. Damn right I am very happy about it. I don’t want to be tortured anymore. So the fact is that if the teachers treat the student like rats its obvious they wont pay attention to you and they will go out smoke, drink and have sex with prostitutes. YES they do that if those ignorant people don’t know about it yet. I have seen it and stayed among those students for many years but didn’t go along with them. First enforce a reasonable school law. specially for the teachers cause now a days they are more dumber (not all, but most of them who are teaching in higher grades like in grade 12 & 13) and principals too (I can tell you stories about those corrupted people all day long). I have seen the harm that they do to you for a simple mistake physically and mentally. And its obvious this 14 year old feared to her teachers or “prefects” yea so called prefects who ensures the students discipline. So this girl would have been beaten up much more that she knows that its better dying than being tortured to death. WAKE UP PEOPLE !! “Cure the root of the cause and you can solve this” In my opinion its the fault of the people who are in power. you cant stop them anyway so you should know better to take care of your self and teach others about the distorted government and society. PEACE!
GOD!!! The kid commited suicide coz she got caught having porn on her cell.
The girl didn\’t commit suicide just bcoz she got caught using her cell at school.
ban on mobile phones showed how the authoroties has treated to this problem.Because mibile phone is the symtomp & not the root cause for this situation.We don’t have to bother with what school authorities said.(If you can remenber what they said about the Dengue epidemic ,before 2-3 years)
The main problem here is not the mobile phones but the lack of humanistic teachers & prefects.
Can teachers or prefects manhandle students like this? It\’s the question that we must ask from ourselves. And the real solution for the government to come up with would be removing such authority which allows teachers and prefects to manhandle students, instead of banning cellphones inside school. True, it is a real plague when students bring mobile phones to schools, but is this the solution that government is going to come up with, instead of taking severe disciplinary actions on the prefects and teachers(cold-blooded-murderers) who reprimanded a child so harshly causing her to commit suicide?
What a shame, just having a mobile and punish like that, How come prefect can humiliate another student? What type of authority these prefects have? Modern world, every one has a mobile phone.
If it was my child, I will never forgive the stupid prefect, and stupid teachers. Kavindi is dead now, why they tarnish her image.
Shame. Prefects, Teachers and the principal of the school, remember Karma will come back to you, you will suffer same faith.
There is a god above to punish the wicked and bad karma will follow us through sansara; we will pay for all sins committed.
Yes it is a real shame, the prefect ( a daughter of a popular cricketer of the past?) that may be the reason all are ready to sweep this incident under the carpet….
I would like to leave you with this quote;
It is not the brutality of the bad, but the silence of the good, that destroys us. The good should never remain silent.

Please take time to find out the truth and then pass it on to others.
I’m lost for words hearing such absurd accusations on a 14 year old innocent girl. I’m quoting below a passage from the Holy Bible where a lady was caught sinning and how Jesus forgave her. Comon do the people who judge others never have commited a crime????? pls read thru and judge for your selves……
Quote
John 8 : 1 – 11
But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” 6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
11 “No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”
Romans 3: 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Do I need to say more????????
I don’t have time to read all these,but this has happen due to the over powered bunch of stupid teachers,having sex is normal,this is what all those bitches did in the past,may be some of them even might have worst sex affaires than this normally in sri lanka you can play with young girls easily if the parents are teachers,believe my word, cause i have done this,most of these type of F…ing teachers are very strict on their students,and they even don’t allow 18+ children to see movies if it has mild sex.
I think those should be curse to death,I am really worried because she is just a little kid,she could have gone wrong due to some reason,what she want was advise and keep this only for a teachers who could have become her second mother,if any of these F.teachers behave like a mother with heart full of love she could have live longer.When I was in sri lanka I saved one of the girl who wanted to commited suicide in Mount Lavinia beach due to the continous harresments of teachers and her own mother,she was from ”Alethia” or what ever private school.I mean this everywhere in sri lanka,some jobs has more stupid power than it should be,and they miss use it without thinking how the other people get effected,Jobs like Police,School teachers,Doctors..etc.
I couldn’t even given my full commitment to work yesterday after reading this story,I feel very sorry for that little girl who really miss good advise to save her beautiful life.
I am a teacher myself.When I was a student there were loving teachers and teachers who practised bureaucracy. I know the pain of expecting children to be so righteous when adults themselves are so weak.Sri Lankan adult society should be trained to respect individuality.The best way to correct kids is to set an example and be loving.The righteous tone and tyranny is something destroy the trust the adolescents have on adults.
Adults have no right to point a finger at kids in instances like these.These are growing kids who are healthy with their hormonal changes,curiosity and the new world with commercial concept of love on media which can have a great impact on them.Although religion is a thing that is stressed too much in Sri Lankan schools it is not done with compassion at times.There are teachers and adults who preach too much but have not practised that model in their youth.This hypocrisy is continuously taking place.
We also can’t expect every student to be calm and obey our commands.We, all adults have no right to play the role of dictators.Mostly, it is intelligent children , who become active and experimental.If we respect all children and their differences, our children will learn that all of us are unique.What is the good model of human being in the world? Enforcing values cannot be done.Yet , love and understanding is what Lord Buddha ,Jesus Christ and all religious leaders preached.
Jesus told the people who were ready to throw stones at the sinful woman who committed adultery “The person who has not sinned should throw the first stone”. People like you,those who accuse such an innocent girl are hypocrites.With such people like you we cannot expect world peace, but more divisions and destroying the rights of others’ respect and individuality.But surely till your death your conscience will punish you.
After all ,humans are animals who are institutionalised in the course of thousand years of civilization. How many times the adults have broken the responsibilities and rules and regulations of these bodies secretly? So much to learn and think about when we live in this planet with our fellow human beings! But the problem is we only think about our existence and expect kids to be precise and robots. Ask your heart!!
mobile phone is a necessary evil in Sri lanka. It is quite true to say that we must have a mobile regarding to the present condition in our country. But the fact is, the parent should take whole the responsibility if they give a mobile to their children.Otherwise the same situation will happen forever.so mobile is an important thing, but not use to the wrong.i have not a clear objection of it, but parent must think ti twice before give a mobile phone to your children.
Dear Editor,
I have been following the incident at Musaeus College where Anuthara Kavindi Jayawardene from Malabe committed suicide due to an issue at the school.
First and foremost, I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to Anuthara’s parents. Only those who have lost something so precious can understand the pain her parents may feel. I do hope that you will find peace amidst all this.
A child committing suicide, either by hanging, poisoning and any other method, is indeed a tragedy. I would like to thank Professor Ravindra Fernando for his illuminating statistics and for clarifying that “99% of them were NOT mentally ill. Almost all of them ingested poisons on sudden impulse and were regretting, ashamed and guilty about the event, and certainly wanted to live when hospitalized”.
I have a thought. In this “Budun Wediya Rate`” if children are committing suicide on sudden impulses, there is something wrong. The problem could very well be in the education system, or with the school. The blame could also fall on the parents. My thought is that while Anuthara’s sudden impulse and ill-advised decision cost her own life and her parents the only child they had, the reason for the sudden impulse could have been more than one.
If a child commits suicides every time a teacher mistreats or punishes them, I don’t thin we will have children left to attend schools. In one case if a teacher yells at a student, the student will commit suicide and in another case the student will realize what he/she had done and correct the mistake and go on to become a good citizen. I remember, in year 9 I was the class monitor and I cut one class and walked around the school because I was bored. My grade supervisor caught me, dragged me to the class, slapped me right across the face and yelled at me in front of the whole class and then made me kneel in the sandy road in front of the building for a whole period in the burning sun. I didn’t cut classes ever again. I’m not saying what he did was either right or wrong. He could have acted differently. However, on the last day of school, I went to see him and worshipped him with love and respect. Even to this day, I remember him fondly.
I was surprised and disappointed by the behavior of “award winning” journalist Ms. Renee Mohamed of the Sunday Leader. It is apparent from her articles that she is more interested in attacking Musaeus College and tarnish it’s name as well as attacking anyone who opposes her than to actually report the facts and find out the truth about the incident. Ms. Mohamed seems to want to have the last word. I’m sure it is helpful that your articles are being published in YOUR newspaper. Unfortunately, your readers don’t have the same advantage as you do. Ms. Mohamed and the Editor in chief, Sunday Leader is “UNBOWED AND UNAFRAID”, are you sure that you are at all “UNBIASED”?
Ms. Mohamed calls Musaeus College the school that failed. I understand that when it comes to human life, even loss of 1 out of a billion is not acceptable. But, Ms. Mohamed, how do you define failure? Does the impulsive behavior of 2 children who were misguided or disturbed overshadow the accomplishments of 30000+ students during 114 years? If so we live in a world full of failures. Unfortunately, that includes you too as undoubtedly you would have been a student in one of Sri Lanka’s failed schools. I can tell you one thing. Musaeus was here before Ms. Mohamed and her editor was even born. Musaeus was here even before Sunday Leader was started. And I’m very sure that Sunday Leader will be there after all of us have died and Sunday Leader goes bankrupt. Just remember the old saying “ballo biruwata kandu pahath wenne nehe”.
It is a known fact that all the parents try to enroll their children in so called “elite” schools. As the Editor in chief had explicitly stated, “elite” schools get more negative attention than “not-so-elite” schools during an incident. If 119 children had committed suicide in 2007, for the sake of justice, each and every incident should have been covered by the Sunday Leader. As we all know “Pala ethi rukata wawulo wahanawa”. This marked me want to ask, is this really about Anuthara Jayawardene or is this just an attack on an “elite” school? Are the lives of other 118 children who died are not important? Is the pain of their parents trivial? Wasn’t it important to find out how and why they died so that we can do something to stop teenagers from committing suicide again? Or does the fact remains that you found the tree with most delicious fruit to land on? If that’s the case, you are nothing more than mere vultures who are feeding on someone else’s misfortune?
Every person, regardless of age gender or race, will be loyal to what they hold precious. People who don’t have that feeling are called “traitors” and are sometimes shot to death. All humans have pride. When attacked, everyone has a right to defend themselves. The Museaites are also defending their school from these unwarranted attacks. As far as I could understand, they are not saying that they are happy that Anuthara died. They are not saying that the prefects or the teachers involved acted accordingly. They are just saying that stop attacking my school because of something that happened. Let authorities and professionals find out what happened and then try to figure out what to do. It is tragic that two students of the same school committed suicide. I’m sure there are other schools with similar situations. But attacking Musaeus isn’t going to bring either Anuthara or other children who committed suicide back to life. What we need to do is found out what happened and find solutions so that nothing like this will happen ever again.
I have one more thought. Did you realize the pain you’re causing the parents on Anuthara by dragging this on rather than letting them find peace and let Anuthara rest in peace?
yeaaa leave kavindi alone…. & even stop blaming the scholl and the prefects athe students …..IF you all dont know the truth there us no point if blaming them….
Teachers and Prefects: Anuththara Kavindi,
please don’t bring a phone to school. thats against the rules. do you understand?
Anuththara Kavindi: NO. I’m going to do it!
Teachers and prefects: we will have to punish you now.
Anuththara Kavindi: OK THEN I WILL KILL MYSELF!!!
The rest of the world: oh no.. poor girl.. what a tragedy!!!
Agreed!
As a family member of Anuthara Kavindi Jayawardene I’d personally like to know where you got your facts and figures from to write such an article. Were you there when it happened? or are you just trying to put a bad name to a innocent girls face?. Just because the school wants to keep their reputation as a good school doesn’t mean the facts they are giving is the right ones. This is isn’t one of your black and white cases that say’s “oh she disobeyed the rules, there for she got yelled at by a teacher there for she committed suicide”, get real she was not just yelled at, she was not just slapped around, she was dragged by the Tie to the principal’s office by a prefect. Humiliating her in front of friends, class mates and in front of all the students of that school and also the teachers, and then she was kneeled down in front of All the teachers at the school. You expect her to smile and keep going on with life and praise the prefect or the teachers that stood there smirking at her? Come on who are you kidding? This was an innocent girl who never hurt a fly, this was a grade A student who was brilliant at everything, who was kind and lovely to anyone she meets. What are you actually trying to imply? That she was a troubled child who had a bad background? I can tell you that is entirely not true she came from a happy family she never hurt her parents feelings she was always obedient cared for the family more than her own life. She was treated badly not only by the teachers but prefects too, what right do they have to handle a young girls feelings not to mention her whole body the way this prefect did? I know very well that punishments are big in school such as the one she went to but don’t you for a second think that the punishments are too hard on children? Doesn’t this just show she couldn’t take the humiliation of her parents getting called up not to mention the dragging her by the tie in front of everyone? If you were at all sympathetic to the loss of this child, you would not have put such an article on the web. Wether its payback to schools the war or what ever that is on your chest Why are you writing such things when clearly you Do Not know the Facts yourself? Did you even know this beautiful girl? Have you ever even met her, for you to put her down so low? Why don’t you just leave her alone? What she ever done to you? She was so innocent why do you have to hurt her family this much? My little cousin who has just become a teenager cries every single day for her to come back, all he wanted for his birthday, was to hear Kavindi’s voice on the other end of the phone to wish him happy birthday like every other year. Then he reads articles like this that just make not only him but all her family so much more depressed. Isn’t it bad enough we have lost a beautiful sister to us and a great friend to many, a child to all her uncle’s aunts and her parents? for you to write such articles that put her down? Please do us a massive favour and take this one down! or go get the right facts and correct your article. Don’t bring my little cousin into any of your next articles .
And to all the other people who commented badly towards my cousin please don’t you never knew her. And porn? Seriously grow up we’re hurting bad enough without your pathetic comments on porn.
From her family side please I am begging just stop commenting so rudely about this young girl she was one in a million to us although she was nothing to you, she meant the world to us those who commented so rudely you’ll realise once you have lost something sooo close to you what we feel for loosing Kavindi
I am once again asking everyone to just let her rest in peace and let her family move on with life please don’t comment if you haven’t got anything nice to say about her
Kind regards,
Kavindi’s family
