disgrace.

yesterday I read about a boy who killed himself because he was gay, and he couldn't deal with the grief the kids at school gave him.

I mean what more can I add to that?
what a disgusting world we live in sometimes.

I have so many problems with this that I have a hard time lacing all my thoughts on it together to post here.
odds are it'll come out like an angry mash-up.

but can you really blame me?

first of all I'd like to say that I think it's a crime that kids can make each other feel so poorly about themselves.
kids are cruel.
but where are the teachers?
you can't sit there and say no teacher saw this kid get picked on, because 1) if they did and didn't discipline the bully, they failed at doing their job, and 2) if they weren't around to see it, then they're still not doing their job.

the kid was about 13.
I don't even know what else to say

I'd say that it sucks that people can't be different, but he wasn't being different.

different from what?
everybody's different from everyone else.
so that's an irrelevant statement.
he was just a boy trying to be himself, and god bless him for that, but damn everyone who made him feel like he was less of a person for it.
he was more of a person than ANY of you and you have the rest of your lives to think about that.
