12-year-old schoolgirl kills herself after period blood stained her uniform

A 12-year-old Indian schoolgirl has killed herself after her teacher shouted at her for staining her school uniform and bench with period blood.

The young girl was on her period when her menstrual blood leaked onto her clothes and bench.
She was allegedly scolded by her teacher for making a mess.

DailyMail reports she was in seventh grade at Senthil Nagar school in the residential area of Senthil Nagar, Palayamkottai Town, in Tirunelveli District, Tamil Nadu State, Southern India.

Unable to bear the shame from the shouting, she killed herself near a neighbour’s house.

Her shocked parents said they did not know she was suicidal and only found out about her reasons in a letter she left.
