Dozen elementary school students cut themselves in Los Angeles classroom, worrying parents about potential suicide pact

A dozen fifth graders cut themselves with razors at a Los Angeles elementary school last week, leading parents and school officials to wonder if the children had signed a suicide pact.

But students at Normandie Avenue Elementary suggest the incident may have been some kind of statement against bullying.

"I don't know why they did that but it was something about the bullying," fifth grader Joshua Mendoza told KCAL. "They got all crazy and started cutting themselves... They were actually doing it in class."
