Another Gay Teen Suicide...Jadin Bell of La Grande, OR

Excuse my language but this shit needs to stop. Anyone who bullies someone to the point of suicide should be held accountable just as if they shot someone with a gun or stabbed with a knife.

When are people going to learn???? :tears:

 

Totally agree with you on that one. Why do people place so much importance on all of our differences? It's the 21st century. People are who they are. These bullies, whoever they were should be punished by law. This poor kid and his friends and family are in my prayers.

 

Or another Colombine can happen, I do admit when I was a bully target in that Upstate NY town I did entertain thoughts of mass murder and really wanted to carry it out The only thing that stopped me was the fact I only had a short time until my nightmare would end.

 

Whole heartily agree with you. I don't understand what it will take before people start taking note and understand what their bigotry and homophobia is doing to people. It sickens me that people push others to this. His family, friends and soul are in my prayers.

 

And to think somewhere a preacher, a man who was supposed to represent a just and loving god, a politician, a leader of the people, and countless people who should have a heart are saying that he will be sent to hell (while bullies walk). I have never been more ashamed to be human.

 

Arrghhh god dam bullies just WHY! Whish i could help all bullied people

 

Exactly!!!

 

My thoughts go out to the family. This is really tragic news.

 

It's equally as heartbreaking every time I see these articles. How such innocent teenagers with their whole life ahead of them find the need to end their life because of the taunts of bullies and thugs who for some reason want them to feel less worth.

I wish Jadin had have talked to somebody and asked for help before doing the one thing that can't be undone. Just a shame his suffering had to end this way. RIP Jadin.

 

This is really sad and need to stop!!

 

The bullies should be found and held for man slaughter, trailed as adults and prosecuted appropriately.

Kids think they're invincible to everything, including the law.
If there was a risk of imprisonment for bullying i don't think we'd have these stories.

 

I completely agree. I am also praying for the victims of these tragedies. Many kids have been raised to the point that they don't care about anyone else but themselves. It needs to stop. I don't want this happen anymore. I wish that anyone that was bullied to the point of death could be brought back. We care. Frankly, most people do not.

 

I am sorry to read that.

RIP

 

Did those bullies put the rope in this kids hand? No. Did the bullies wrap the rope around his neck? No. That kid did what he chose on account of his OWN decisions.

That's the kind of responses that many of these deaths get sometimes, and it really is a damn shame that people think that. (To clarify, I do NOT agree with that statement I just made about the bullies not puttin the rope in his hand).

They say sticks and stones break bones, but words don't ever hurt. Well that's a fucking lie. I don't know WHEN that rule ever applied to life, but it's never been true. Words have become WEAPONS, a power that we can use for good or bad. Some people will KILL with their words, and others will try to save with their words.

If only we COULD reach out to these youth... Hey, I propose we make an "It gets better video"! A bunch of EC users can share their personal stories and all and we could compile it into one big video and make sure this video goes VIRAL!
Anybody with me on this? I think we actually CAN make a difference, an albeit small one, but if we can reach out to at least ONE person...

Any takers?

 

That's horrible:icon_sad:

 

Such a shame. Sad.

 

Ahem, so i can chalk that down as at least ONE person in the "let's make an It's Get Better" boat

I do believe we could all make a difference if we make a large enough video and make it viral enough. Put it on youtube, facebook, snapchat or instegram (I don't even know how those work though) or twitter or myspace or whatEVER. Whatever it takes

 

This breaks my heart. I wasn't bullied much due to the fact that everyone knew i could kick their ass. I wish people would find someone to help them, their are people that can take care of the bullies for them. These suicides have got to stop.
