A 14-year-old girl who wrote a poem entitled I Give Up before she hanged herself was bullied at school over her clothes and her ambition to study at Oxford, an inquest has heard.
Izzy Dix used her school tie from Brixham community college in Devon to kill herself after suffering taunts and insults from fellow students, the hearing was told.
The teenager's mother, Gabbi Dix, said bullies "made her life hell" because she was academically ambitious and refused to wear short skirts like many other girls her age. Dix, 46, walked into her daughter's bedroom in September and found her dead. In a statement Dix said her daughter had been bullied badly since the two of them returned to the UK from Australia in 2010.
