‘High school abroad can be treacherous’ — Morayo Brown warns parents after killing of Ghanaian teen
TV host Morayo Brown has warned parents against sending emotionally immature teenagers abroad for high school, following reports that a 15-year-old Ghanaian boy was killed in the United States after allegedly being bullied.
Brown gave the warning while reacting to the incident, recalling how she was bullied when she attended high school in the US at the age of 15.
She said fellow students targeted her because she was African, put dirty items in her locker and pushed her during morning sports activities.
Brown said she did not report the incidents because she was new to the school and wanted to fit in, adding that some students repeatedly made her feel she did not belong.
She also recalled that the bullying worsened when she was preparing to attend prom.
The TV host said parents should ensure their children are emotionally mature and properly guided before sending them abroad for secondary education.
“University abroad is fine, but high school can be treacherous,” she said.
