A teenager who died by suicide following relentless bullying has been laid to rest in western Sydney, as community figures call for more intervention from parents. 

Aziz Passayanavin, 15, died on September 6 and was buried on Wednesday, according to Lakemba Mosque. 

His death was confirmed by prominent Muslim undertaker Ahmad Hraichie, who said Aziz’s life had been ‘taken far too soon after suffering the cruelty of bullying’. 

Mr Hraichie helped the family return Aziz’s body from the coroner’s office to the mosque earlier this week.

‘His father was there and (I couldn’t) help but cry with the father, holding his son and hugging him and kissing him,’ the undertaker said.

‘I told him he had to go now, come back in the morning and spend all the time you can with him. You’ll give him his last wash, and I’ll be there with him. Then we’ll pray for him and bury him.

‘You know, these are the hardest words you can tell a father.

‘When a 15-year-old sees life as not worth living anymore, then we really have a problem in our community and society. What is going on?’

Mr Hraichie said Aziz would be washed, shrouded and buried on Wednesday in accordance with Islamic tradition. 

He is now calling for more to be done to address bullying after helping bury a 12-year-old girl who allegedly died following bullying only days earlier. 

‘Every community leader needs to speak up about bullying. It’s become something very, very serious,’ he said. 

‘Two deaths in one week just in our community? Now, in 30 years of doing funerals, I’ve never seen that.’

Mr Hraichie warned those who are bullying others to stop before another life is lost.

‘Stop humiliating people. Stop preying on the weak and vulnerable. Stop destroying another human being just to make yourself feel powerful,’ he said.

‘If someone is overweight, autistic, quiet, different or vulnerable, that never gives you the right to torment them.

‘They do not need to change to deserve dignity – you need to change your behaviour.’

Mr Hraichie also encouraged parents to reach out and check in on their children. 

‘Bullying has become a big issue and it starts with the parents. The parents who accept it, who let their kids do this, are part of the problem,’ he said.

‘You don’t know what your children are going through… kids, they hide things, they want to be accepted. The peer pressure, all of that, plays a part in their upbringing.’
