Kids are a waste of money, especially if theyre just gonna end up killing themselves. What a bad investment.

I don’t think this is intentional.

> deebo, but the fact remains its a free country. if a kid wants to play guns, play house, talk gangsta, talk gay, he should be able to. if you put yourself out there, he should expect there to be some kind of push back, but if its enough to cause someone to be so distraut that they feel there is no way out but to take their own life, then things have gone waaaaaaaaaaay to far. Imagine being the parents of the kid that took his own life. Being a parent, I dont know what I would do, seriously. Hunt down the kids that did this, blame myself, blame society, blame the parents? There would be so much inside rage and saddness, it would honestly eat me from the inside out.

pretty off-topic, but were you at the foo fighters concert, 100 level right across from the stage? I think I sat one row behind you but couldn’t tell, we came in kinda late.

I was around the er the day he was brought in and the stories from staff were absolutely heartbreaking. I don’t think the parents had any idea how bad it really was.

Negative sir. I feel bad that the kid took his life. That said, it was his decision to do so. Far too much media coverage IMHO. Soldiers die everyday and are lucky to make the news.

I too am so tired of hearing about this. Anyway I was with my sister-in-law last night and she works with a woman who is a very good friend of the parents. The parents told their kids they were getting divorced 2 days before he committed suicide. Could be a factor in this whole mess.

comparing soldiers that signed up, got paid, and were killed in action is totally different then a 14 year old kid that committs suicide because of being bullied.

More attention needs to be brought to what kids are going thru, not just another, “get over it”

I’d like to see a poll…

Who was bullied and cares about this crap

Who was bullied and doesn’t care about this crap

Who was NOT bullied and cares about this crap

Who was NOT bullied and DOES NOT care about this crap.

Myself, never bullied. I never bullied anyone either though, I’m an awesome person. But I still do not care about this. Grow a set of balls and quit whining about how tough life is. It gets tougher. Can’t handle the heat? Get out of the kitchen.

If this is true, was it a case of selective journalism? I would say this could have a huge bearing on the situation, and with no note, who’s to say it was the bullying?

It’s obvious gay kids are the problem. I am surprised some congressmen has not come up with a genocide for gays act. There’s more bullys in the world than gays. it would be a way easier task to accomplish.

This is why the Soldier should get more attention. He Signed up to give his life, Or have to live with injuries the rest of his life. Some fggt kills himself and its splatterd all over the news. Its bullshit! Get over it!

People kill themselves everyday.
