Teasing, insults, beatings ... until you want to die.

Harassed at school between the ages of 10 and 16, Jonathan Destin tried to end his life by setting himself on fire.

Rescued, he then spent two years in rehabilitation.

At 23, he still heals the after-effects of his burns, and praises the merits of his words: "We absolutely have to talk about it, because that's what saves a child, a person who is the victim of harassment."

While this Thursday is the international day against school bullying and cyberbullying, he told what prompted him to commit this gesture to our partner Brut.
