Schools teach values all the time. They have honor codes, codes of conduct, dress codes, etc.

Christianity, Islam, etc have nothing to do with that.
I have no evidence whatsoever.

I have an opinion that these kids never learned that their actions have consequences, that they should follow the golden rule, that they should spread kindness instead of cruelty. My opinion is that they grew up with parents who didn't let them feel the consequences of their actions. That's all.

Four young gay men commited suicide in one week and six in the past three weeks.....when will the hatred ever end...it is the prejudice and bigotry of many Americans that indirectly led to these premature deaths.

Think about it.....before expousing hate and remember one of these young men may have found a cure for cancer or made a significant contribution to society...NOW we will never know. But when you contribute hate and prejudice to society, this is what you reap from your actions and words....and their blood is on your hands>>>>>

There are thousands of suicides per month, for a variety of reasons.

It was a horrendous thing to do , to tape this boy and put it on the internet. How sick is this. Many people today get their kicks by hurting others and to not see the evil of this is sick. Who would want to out someone like this with such an outcome?

I am a Christian and I love the gay people even though I don't like the sin. Who are we to expose someones private lives.

We are all sinners here on this earth and to do this to someone is evil. I love gays even more because of their sin because they are snared by a spirit of homosexuality. To deal with that is complex enough . The love of God covers sin but the accuser is satan himself. God loves us all and the persons who did this will now pay for their act of their cruel actions. Satan is the one who kills , steals and destroys. No one wins , everyone suffers. Thinking with a kind heart would keep many from hurting others.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth are up to four times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers, and eight times more likely if their family has rejected them.

For gay teenagers, suicide is the number one cause of death.

Then it must be higher in gay men than gay women, becuase the male suicide rate is a lot higher than the female suicide rate.

Those statistics are very sad. I applaud Ellen for asking other gay people to be role models and inspire gay young adults to be proud of themselves and not care what other people think of them.
