how sad is this??

Suicide isn't the way out. They may just be blaming the bullies. It could be family problems, it could be anything. And truthfully, I don't feel sad for him, he took his own life.

Suicide is especially not the way out for 11-year olds.

Something else must have surely been wrong...

 
I saw this on the news last night.

This 11yr old kid was bullied partly because he didn't like sports, or the latest music, instead preferred the company of adults, and liked 60's music.

His last conversation with his mother was him saying how he would just like to be able to get on the bus without those kids there bullying him.

This had been going on for a long time also.


Very sad and tragic that he was forced towards suicide 🙁


Confused
 
How did the boy get access to powerful painkiller meds? Maybe Mom should be more careful where she keeps her medications, so as little kids don't get their grubby hands on them.
 
I'm all for separating bullies from other classmates and putting them in their own class. Make them ride a short PINK bus to school. Fvckers.
 
I am clinically bipolar, but I haven't had to deal with it for a long time. I can actually probably say that I overcame it.

But I have dealt with this kind of thing before.

- Kids can be so incredible cruel to each other it's not even funny.
- This is sad mainly because how much pain he must have been going through and nobody noticed.
 
"He was a good kid, a good laugh, but a bit different from other lads of his age.

"This was a cry for help. I have no words to describe the people who persecuted and taunted him other than I hate them.

"They can hang their heads in shame."

She said Thomas wanted to be a science teacher, was interested in politics and often attended anti-war rallies.

Sounds like the mother was the biggest bully he had. He was definitely different than other 11 year olds, esp now.

Yes.

Kids are complete douchbags.

They also do NOT have a clear understanding of cruelty..IE bulies

If they commit suicide that means their parents failed them miserably.


most people have to deal with potential-unrecoverable situations daily...


Whether your suicidal depends on either physical factors or what you've been taught/learned on your own.



If anything...suicide will save you some time, but think of this:


Don't you want to want to eat that hot dog that's on the grill? If you kill yourself I WILL EAT IT...
 
You know, it could have been avoided had his parents or teachers paid more close attention to this and did something abiout it. One of his teachers denies bullying, does she even know what to look for? Most teachers in Elementary and Middle School don't even realise bullying when it happens 2 feet away from them. Had one of his teachers kept an eye out for him, she could have reported it, talked to him about it, or contacted someone who could help. Kids don't commit suicide after one instance of being bullied, instead its over a long period of time in which he must have had many teachers. The kid must have been in 5th or 6th grade. If he was on 5th, the teacher certainly should have noticed because he has the same teacher all day. In middle school, he'll have plenty of teachers he will see everyday and so some of them should have realised...

I really think schools need to do something about this. And also, if he was having many absent days, why not observe where he goes and what he does when hes not at school? My gosh.... this is really sad

Also, the mother and/or father should have taught him to 1: Ignore them or 2: Deal with it or 3: Speak very freely to them about it and see what can be done. Chances are the kid didn't tell his parents right away about it and kept it inside himself, otherwise if he told everything that happened and how he felt, his parents could send him to another school or home school him. I think this also results from the fact that some kids don't meet other kids their age when they are young and so developing social skills can become hard.
 
Suicide is so pointless. Hes killed himself, the bullies go free. If he woulda went out columbine-style, maybe that woulda taught the bullies a lesson.

Never let it be said that humanity and compassion are dead... moron :disgust:

An 11 year old took his life, his family must be devestated, and its perfectly possible for bullies to be the cause of it. I think its absolutely fu**ing tragic, and I hate people who bully, low-life losers who arent happy their own lives so take it out on other people. I used to always stick up for the little people who got bullied back at school. :frown:
