Pupil, 16, took own life after 'hyper-fixation' on first school detention as father calls

A talented 16-year-old girl took her own life on the grounds of a prestigious boarding school after becoming "hyper-fixated" on her first ever detention.<br /><br />She had been given a two-hour "headmistress's detention" after vodka and a tattoo kit were found in her music locker at the girl's school just before the Easter break.<br /><br />The pupil, who was diagnosed with autism last year, was upset at the prospect and it preyed on her mind for weeks before the tragedy.<br /><br />In her final diary entry, on April 20, she wrote: "I hope this is my last diary entry. I want to kill myself tomorrow."<br /><br />She was so upset about the detention she ran away from a choral event she was due to sing at in March, and wrote in the diary: "Running away was the best cry out for help I could give and you [Wycombe] responded with 'we'd normally punish you but you’re already getting punished'."<br /><br /><br />Her devastated father, a HSBC bank executive Jonathan Scott-Lee, told The Sunday Times: "She was mortified to receive a detention.
