    The only word I can muster up to describe these people is: Pathetic.

    What's even more terrible is that people will try to shrug this off with the asinine logic of 'bullying is part of growing up' or 'it makes you strong/ a man'.
    Horrible and tragic.

    US high schools are cesspools, run by the most incompetent of administration and populated by the most spoiled, entitled, intolerant bastards west of the Atlantic.

    I mean c'mon, the kid wasn't even gay to begin with and now his life is ruined. On top of this, legislators will push their damn Bible as a reason not to pass anti-bullying laws in schools. Eh, but a problem doesn't exist, right? This stuff only happens to the queers, right? This country's a mess. Boy, does reading shit like this get me hot.

    Excuse the language, but I fucking hate bully apologists.

    The victims are not to blame for being weak, and bullying will always be a serious problem no matter how long it's been around.
