Kansas Teen Awarded $250K In Bullying Lawsuit

[Bookworm]

KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- A Kansas jury Thursday ruled in favor of a Tonganoxie teenager who said the school district failed to stop the bullying that led him to drop out of school.

The family of Dylan Theno, 18, filed the lawsuit in May 2004 against the Tonganoxie School District. The suit claimed Theno had suffered years of brutal bullying, and that school officials didn't attempt to stop the harassment.

"That's five years of my life that I had to live -- just depressed, angry, scared. I can never get that back," Theno told KMBC-TV. "I was just miserable, you know. You wake up every morning, begging my parents not to make me go to school. It was just, I didn't want to be there; I didn't want to walk down those halls anymore."
