OMG listen to yourself...that is an asinine statement. Do you really think I approve of bullying? Of course i don't.

I have been the victim of bully's, i have bullied others myself, i have stood up for the bullied, i have watched my friends bully others and done nothing about it. It goes on everyday in every school and every kid has to deal with it in one way or another.

I don't think brushing it under the rug is what i mean. My point is that bullying and suicides happen everyday. I think randomly deciding which tragedies to cover is stupid. I don't know what made this kid worthy of having a nationally covered story, cuz he way gay? who knows...
