A fifth-grade student in New Hampshire who wants to stop bullying has shared with her school board that she's been verbally threatened with a gun and told she would be buried in her backyard.

Delanie Marcotte of Pollard Elementary School in Plaistow detailed the disturbing things that have been said to her by at least one classmate at the Timberlane Regional School Board meeting on Thursday.

'I have been threatened to get shot in the head by an AK-47 and buried in my backyard, and many other things,' Delanie said through tears, reading a letter she had previously written.

'I ask you: What are you going to do to protect me and my classmates against bullying?'

New Hampshire fifth grader Delanie Marcotte has told her school board that she's been verbally threatened with having a gun used on her and told she would be buried in her backyard, in a letter she hopes will help stop bullying

Delanie's letter said that her parents contacted the school about the bullying she's been experiencing, but it continues.

'I'm here to stand up for every kid who gets bullied,' she read, as the school board applauded.

'I'm very proud of you for coming,' a member of the board told Delanie.

Delanie was thanked by the school board for coming forward with her emotional story

Timberlane Regional School District Superintendent Earl Metzler told NBC10 Boston that Delanie's concerns have the district's 'undivided attention.'

'We will continue to encourage all students to speak up when they see, hear or experience something that makes them uncomfortable,' Metzler said.

'The same holds true for parents and community members. There are many vehicles at Timberlane to share your concerns including, but not limited to, the public comment portion of our School Board agenda.'

Delanie added more to the contect of her bullying when talking with NBC10, as well.

'I wanted to let them know I was getting bullied and that I didn't want it to happen anymore,' she told NBC10 Boston. 'They kick me and they say mean things, call me names - it is not nice.'

Todd Marcotte shared a video of Delanie reading her letter on Facebook, and it quickly went viral, which was unexpected by the fifth grader.

As of Monday, it had 68,000 views, was liked 667 times, and shared 1,253 times.

'I'm surprised, but it is kind of nice to have all this support,' Delanie told NBC News Washington.

Delanie's father shared his thoughts, as well.

'It is very hard to watch your child get bullied, hear about it day in and day out, and you do get very aggravated,' Marcotte said.

'It's an issue, and it's an issue that has to be addressed.'

Delanie's personal plea to the student she said is bullying her is simply for the meanness to end.

'I hope it all stops, and they'll stop being rude,' she said.
