Very powerful post about a beautiful young boy who committed suicide because he was bullied. Thank you to my friend, Colleen, for this heartfelt compassionate poignant post to help raise awareness on human rights.
This is just a little blog that just a few people read on a regular basis. I know I won’t reach hundreds with my thoughts. And they are just thoughts, and opinions. I will be lucky if I have tens of people read this and relate in some way. Though I’m just one, I’m one like many. I get up every day and do the best job I can at living and being a good person. I don’t know how to fix the world, but I know how to not be a problem to it. It’s really pretty simple.
I don’t hate.
I try not to inflict problems in to this world and in to other people’s lives. It just doesn’t seem like the right thing to do.
Today was another shake me up kind of day. I am sometimes so naive it…

At school, when I was younger people were more inclined or accepting about other people’s orientation. It didn’t matter what one’s sexual orientation is. Now I’m a tad older people are so intolerant that has a negative effect on younger generation. Or maybe I was naïve then and today there’s more awareness.
We live in a different world now. In many ways very advanced and fantastic, in others psychologically archaic.
So tragic.
Very.
Well count me in as being reached with your thoughts. I as you will fight these bullies in what ever way I can. Though who for the most part are insecure, and at some point mistreated youths who are twisted out of intelligent shape, and sadly for society as for themselves grow to adulthood incomplete beings. Thank you for keeping the memory of this young boy alive.
Thank you for commenting and caring. It is appreciated.
Thank you for this. I am indeed very touched of having been included among the tens you refer to responding, which I have done so feeling very inadequate and lost for words, which as you know is not my habitual problem. Thank you again, and my heart goes out to his family. Jean-Jacques Fournier
I along with you am lost for words with such a sorrowful situation. Thank you so much for speaking out here.
Thanks for this reblog, Paulette. So sad and true what you said. As society we have come so far and sometimes yet we are still in the stone age emotionally. What a tragic loss
Very tragic. To look at this beautiful child, a mere child… lost so young. Thanks for your comment.
There have been too much of this anymore. Even one life taken is too many. What a angry, unjust world.
Yet I still try to find some goodness.

Very good reblog Paulette. Excellent article
Yes, it was an excellent article. So important. Thank you for stopping by here and commenting.
Bullying is not to understanding..We must re-educate people back.Pesting is not to accept.
Sorry for my bad English
Absolutely, bullying is not understanding. And, I agree with you wholeheartedly not to accept it. Your English is good and I and I thank you for stopping by and commenting.
So sad that the close mindedness and bullying of people cause such unhappiness in a child
Yes, it is. Thank you for your comment.
I am often puzzled by the hatred in the world.
School can be a very spiteful place, that’s always been true, but it does seem to be getting worse. People are more aware of the problem, but don’t seem to be able to solve it.
It puzzles me also and does seem to be getting worse.
Left a comment at Colleen’s blog. At the heart of the matter I think it is that we focus on our differences and we fear those differences. If we could just focus on what makes us all alike, we’d be so much kinder to each other.
Excellent point. Glad you stopped by Colleen. She’s a class act with an ocean of compassion.
Need more people like her. I could tell. She writes with her heart wide open.
A heartbreaking story. What an unfair world.
Hi LCTC,
Yes, it is heartbreaking and there is unfairness in the world, for sure. But, there is also so much good; kind people who connect to create a better energy out there, helping, heroes, all the unsung kindness in the world that the press doesn’t want to print about. I feel it’s important to publicize stories like this not to point out the negative or tip the scales but to raise awareness so more voices step into the fray. Like here. One never knows the ripple effect.
Thanks for stopping by and your comment.
