Should punish both friends and school authorities including teachers.

So sad.. RIP

Teacher's harrasements increasing. Should check teacehr's background properly before offering a job and at the same time should give counselling as a part of syllabus (not to study but to solve issues) to free students' worries.

Punish that teacher properly.
