My debate topic is 'Should bullies be held legally responsible if the victim commits suicide?'. I would say this topic is very controversial and a both side type of debate, me and my peers had a lot of back and forth with this question.
Some people said yes for the reason because the bully(s) were the ones who triggered the victim to kill themselves by taunting, blackmailing, and other horrid stuff, and it wasn't fair for them to just get away with it because they could find another victim to bully which causes them to commit suicide or hurt themselves, there for they will never learn their lesson if they don't get legal punishment like going to jail.
The other half said no because it was the victim's choice to die not the bully(s), and the bully could be going through things of their own which causes them to act like how they are.
Overall this topic is very debatable and its like half and half. Personally I'm back and forth with this topic, because yes the victim chose to die but then again the bully(s) were the one who caused them to commit suicide, and they could do it again to other people because they feel like they have that much power.
