"A 15-year-old boy who was initially targeted by a false rumor that he was unvaccinated was bullied relentlessly until he took his own life in January

A student started spreading a rumor that the 10th-grader, Nate Bronstein, was unvaccinated

Nate actually had been vaccinated, but he was still harassed on a regular basis due to his perceived status. The boy’s parents, Robert and Rosellene Bronstein, even reached out to the other student’s family about the constant badgering.

But the harassment only worsened, with Nate being told by a teacher in class that he was going “nowhere in life,”

The teen was also cyberbullied on Snapchat, where another student urged him to kill himself in mid-December.
