[HPFGU-OTChatter] Brit Speak: "Top Yourself"

[kemper mentor]

The article also states that a different teacher at the same school reduced a 12 year old boy to tears by calling him a 'fatso' apparently as means of disciplining the kid for some sort of disruption.
What a horrible place to learn.  Does anyone know the economy of the area?  Or the teen suicide rate?

"Sharon Jenkins, 35, said that her son had been asked to stand up in
class and describe his hobbies, but when he had proved too bashful to
do so, his French teacher ridiculed him. "She told him, 'I don't like
nobodies. Go and top yourself'," Mrs Jenkins said."

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Could someone explain to me "Go and top yourself"?

Personally, I would be more concerned by the teacher saying 'I don't
like nobodies'.
