Q: can I sue my private highschool for not protecting me against racial aggression, bullying, and hate?
I was bullied and terrorized horribly my senior year of high school for being African American, received threats, and more. My private high school did absolutely nothing on my behalf, or anything to protect me. Do I have the right to sue them? I have since then developed chronic depression and anxiety that I will live with for the rest of my life, and never had prior to. I feel like there is something more I can do.
A:
If we wrote no, would you abandon this?
If you wrote yes, then you would need to contact a local lawyer.
So since you will not abandon it, then contact a local lawyer for a consultation
