    Sad, really sad.

    He was turning 12 this Friday. His mom cut the chord that he wrapped around his neck herself. A classmate sent a card and apologized for the bullying.

    I saw the article this morning, came on here to see if anyone had posted it already, then saw this. I cried when I saw this... My heart goes out to all who knew him, all in a similar situation, but most of all, those who bullied him. If I had one wish, I would wish it for the world, that nothing like this might happen again.

    i dont know how schools can take such a relax attitude to homophobia in the uk aswell its bad they were right on the report one of the first things your called as kid is your gay and when your young you only know the negatives you dont understand so what thats fine, i think its terrible she had to cut her son down:frowning2: but jsut as bad to me was the statment a recoving homeless person and whatever she hes her faith in god... yea a gods world where people are so cruel and intolerant they drove your son to suicide welldone:S but ido think theyre needs to ba a national policy against discrimination in all its forms. because it isnt right allowing homophobic treatment and other bullying on say size or hair colour as some do when race is treated strictly ( rightly so :slight_smile: )
