Hey Guys.. I got this as a mail.. so i do not take any responsibility for this.. but i feel all the details which following text contain is true..

This is what really happened. Please dont create stories and tarnish and image of an innocent 14 year old whose life was lost due to the incompetence of an educational institute.
When I heard of a girl jumping off a balcony of Museaus College and committing suicide sometime back I accepted the explanation in the media (obviously provided by the school) that this girl was suffering from depression and the parents were at fault for not informing the school.
When Kavindi Jayawrdena was found supposedly hanging in the teachers toilet the rest of the country accepted the schools explanation through the media just as I did the last time.
Let me tell you my concerns and inability to accept the schools explanation this time; I am sure the rest of you too would start thinking of why two young girls of the same institution decided to commit suicide due to their parents fault as this school is eager to make us believe.
I am a parent of a 14 year old girl (only child) and am fully aware of the growing pains of a teenager of this age. A fourteen year old is half child, an adolescent full of curiosity and unaware of the changes taking place in her life.
If this fourteen year old was in the possession of a mobile phone which is banned from school, what right has this institution exercised to chastise her in a manner that would lead her to harm her self? I doubt very much that Kavindi really took her own life.
I know now that the phones contained no harmful material or images as the school has led the public believe; the banning of cell phones in schools has further reinforced this myth. Why does this school try so hard to blame an innocent 14 year old girl and parents who have lost every thing having two deaths of students in one school within 2 years?
No action has been taken to investigate the real reasons for their deaths. Are parents of the other 6000 students in this institution convinced that their children will have an education which will make them good and responsible human beings having witnessed such horrendous situations and made to believe that this is ok and the victims are to be blamed for their deaths?
This institution that is called a school is hiding a dark secret with teachers acting as gods supreme commanders breeding prefects wielding ultimate powers over innocent children coming there in search of an education. Teachers hold the power of life and death of students in this school.
A school as I know it and would like it to be, is place of education for children with gentle guidance to life reinforcing the good values parents and society instills in growing children. If a child commits a wrong doing it is the duty of the school to handle it with wisdom and thought of the impact of the corrective action on the growing childs mind and future. Are the teachers at this institution qualified psychologists or even educated in psychology which should be mandatory for all teachers.
How is it that the prefects wielded absolute power to reprimand a fellow student to such an extent that she would take her own life? Eye witnesses who are silent due to unknown pressure today have seen Kavindi being dragged by her tie (with which she is supposed to have hanged her self) by a prefect of this school.
She was locked up in the teachers room and found hanging in the teachers toilet (note and not in the students toilet); can this be accepted as plausible explanation for the death of a 14 year old student?
What happened to the other girls who inflicted harm to themselves as a result of this incident? How did the school buy their silence? After such a harrowing experience, their parents are willing to risk the lives of their own children by keeping silent and letting the school get away with murder.
Kavindi a beautiful 14 year old child, a flower nipped in the bud is silent today. We will never know the truth unless some one comes forward as a decent human being is expected to do and tell the world the truth about the cruelty exercised by an education institution on children who dared break their rules.
Mostly I would like to tell the world that the only crime Kavindi committed was to be found with a friends mobile phone in the schools premises; she did not own a mobile phone given by her parents or a so called boy friend. She is the only child of a professional accountant, a kidney transplant patient and not a cruel father who beat his only child.
The mother is a house wife whos entire life was formed around little Kavinidi. She was a good student averaging 80% in all her subjects; she played the organ to sooth her mind at trouble times. She was surrounded by almost 30 cousins from the 14 siblings of her fathers side.
The school where she studied for 9 years did not offer a prayer for Kavindi while she was fighting for her life for two days in the ICU of a private hospital nor did they have a white flag at the school on the day of the funeral.
When she was found on this fateful day, supposedly after hanging her self, the teachers did not loosen the tie that was around her neck which would have saved her life nor rush her to the accident ward of the general hospital across the road from the school.
They hurried to the police station to make an entry prior to making any efforts to save her life and did not mention the reason for her condition when entering her to the private hospital which further delayed any action that would eventually have saved her life.
Before finally moving Kavindi out of your mind pleases dwell on what I have said for a moment and convince youre self that parents of today should endure such atrocities solely in the name of an Education.
Kavindi may you rest in peace knowing at least that one individual in this world believes in the innocence of your fourteen year old mind.
MUSEAUS, hang your head in shame!
