Nigerian television presenter Morayo Brown urged parents not to send emotionally unprepared teenagers abroad to attend secondary school, following the presumed death of a 15-year-old Ghanaian boy in the United States, according to Daily Post. The teenager was allegedly the victim of bullying.
Morayo Brown said she had herself been bullied at the age of 15 at an American high school because she was African. Students allegedly put dirty objects in her locker and pushed her during sporting activities. She advised parents to remain in regular contact with their children, ask them about their experiences and support them as they adapt to life in a foreign country, according to Daily Post.
“University abroad is a good thing, but high school can be perilous,” she said, according to the Nigerian outlet.
