A Form three student at Langalanga Secondary School in Nakuru reportedly took her own life after a teacher asked her to shave her hair.
Reports indicate that the teenager took her own life on Wednesday, September 28, 2022, at their home in Kaloleni.
She had been ordered to shave their hair, a decision her aunt who was taking care of her following her mother’s death supported.
This was to work as a punishment for allegedly unbraiding her hair on the closing day of the second term in mid-September.
According to reports, after schools reopened, the teacher raised the same issue and asked her to be accompanied by her guardian the following day.
“She came home on Tuesday and informed me that their class teacher had asked her to be accompanied by her parents”.
“On Wednesday, we went to school and the teacher said she has to shave her hair. She got very furious about it.”a relative told local media
According to the family, the teenager left an apology letter to the said teacher before hanging herself.
