A GIRL in east China committed suicide because her hair was too long and didnn't follow the school dress code even after three haircuts.
The 13-year-old drank a whole bottle of pesticide at her home last Saturday after she was not allowed to enter the school even though she had already had three haircuts to meet the rigid rules, Shandong Business Daily reported Tuesday.
She was a grade seven student in Linyi City's Sixth Middle School in east China's Shandong Province.
The devastated parents set up a memorial for the girl in front of the school gates in the hope of confronting the school headmaster and teachers about their daughter's death. But the school hasn't made any response, the report said.
The girl once asked a teacher what kind of hair style was acceptable, but the answer was vague, saying hers didnn't follow the rules. Her father said the girl's hair was shorter than that of many others in the school.
