Bullies Are Murderers!

I want to write more and expand on this tragic series of events, but right now I'm in shocking pain and I want other people to see this! What can I do? What can we do?

Suicides due to bullying....

I can't explain how my heart hurts right now...

3 suicides in my daughter's school in the past year...all due to bullying...

The last just this week.

And they're still bullying him. Not only have they not learned, they are still bullying him now that he's gone.

Please take a minute to read the youtube comments on the video that was made to honor his short life. These people are still taunting him and calling him gay and an unimportant nobody! These bullies may as well be murderers. I am so enraged and saddened!! What can be done?? These young kids already feeling like life isn't worth living...

oh my... that IS sad, but I really wonder - how did previous generations survive this??? I guess we didn't have webpages back then to embarrass people and stuff... this is truly sad...

yes Kristi, I think it's much worse for them with the electronics. We used to be able to at least go home at the end of the day and escape it. Now they're texting, social networking, e-mailing etc. So the harassment continues and also gets spread much faster to many more people. This was brought to the attention of the school today and I have heard for now; they are looking into these comments as well as some others that were make on another social network not names. I also think that bullying is usually just the icing on the cake to children who don't necessarily have a loving, supportive, protective family to come home to.

I can't watch videos but think that I know the jist of it. There was one very recently here, too. Very sad.I think that all we can do is raise children who are confident and believe in themselves and do our best to also raise those children to accept differences in their peers.
