None of those are as significant as someone's sexuality. There are people in this country who believe that homosexuals should be thrown in jail or sentenced to death. No one believes that such inhumane treatment should be given to someone because of having big ears.
Not to mention that accent, dress style, and even ears can all be changed. Someone's sexuality cannot.
I'm glad the anti-bullying movement is picking up pace. Bullies should have no place in public and certainly not in a public school. Such vermin should be stuck at home in the company of their parents who were probably bullies as well. This poor kid shouldn't have been tortured for something he cannot change.
Really?
I thought an ass kicking was an ass kicking the world over.
"There are people in this country who believe that homosexuals should be thrown in jail or sentenced to death."
Such a shame. Any suicide - regardless of the person's orientation - is a shame.
Why wasn't there legal action taking place? Where were the parents of everyone involved? The teachers? Surely this kid brought it someone's attention before doing the deed.
Take the kids responsible and hit them with litigation.
Right. Imagine if it was your kid, you goof.
"Oh, but he turned the computer off!"
You do realize that Facebook is available on mobile phones, yeah?
Open your mind before you open your mouth. Thanks.
You do realize that you can use your mobile phone without accessing the web?? I guess not. Like I said TURN IT OFF. Pretty simple stuff until idiots get involved in the situation.
" A gay Iowa teen has taken his own life after friends and family say that classmates sent him death threats on his cell phone and made him the subject of a Facebook hate group."
This is why we need to teach our children tolerance and acceptance.
Such a senseless tragedy ...
Nature has a way of culling the weak and freak.
