Let someone help you.....From the darkness into the light.....Because I have faith in you.....That you're gonna make it through another night.....Don't take the easy way out.....There's no need to blow the candle out.....Because you are not alone.....and you are not done.....You're never too old or never too young.....And the best is still yet to come. ~ Unknown Author

Aww that so sad, I hate what people do to each other, I wish I his friend to prevent this from happening. Also I was bullied so I know how he felt.

Bullies never realise how much pain they cause their victims.

Rest in peace.

This tears my heart out :(... Yet another young life gone because of senseless bullying.

so sad. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

my thoughts are with the people that loved him for being a human being, not a tagged person

@billyboy96....When I was 15. There was no internet, just books. They all said the same thing. Homosexuality is a mental condition where...I thought I was only one and crazy at that. I knew that the nightmare of school would end. I was bullied too. I'm sure he had friends and support from everywhere. I'm not putting he/she down. I can only draw from my own experience. It gets better.

A very cute kid. His parents and the school really should have gotten him help to deal with the pressures he faced. I seriously doubt coming out on Facebook or with anyone other than close personal friends is a good idea for anyone.

So fucking sad. Wish someone could have talked with him and got him to understand the BULLSHIT in high school doesn't matter one bit after graduation.

Roughly one in five youth are bullied.

Over half of adolescents have been the target of cyber bullying.

Youth who are bullied are 5 times more likely to suffer from depression than youth who are not bullied.

Boys who are bullied are 4 times more likely to be suicidal
.
Girls who are bullied are 8 times more likely to be suicidal.

Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death for youth.

These are the faces of our sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, nieces, nephews, grandsons and granddaughters.

These are the faces of our youth, our loved ones, who were bullied; who were bullied to the point where their pain felt unbearable and they ended their lives.

Being bullied leaves young people with overwhelming feelings of despair, humiliation, and hopelessness.

If even one child ends their life due to the pain of being bullied, that is one child too many.

"Please Remember"

Please take a minute to remember
What teasing, name calling, and ridiculing can do
The harm that it can cause
The people that it can hurt

The turmoil that it adds to
As I try to figure out where I fit in
I am someone's son
I am someone's daughter
I am someone's pride and joy

I am the center of someone's universe
Please don't classify me
For the clothes that I wear
Or for the music that I listen to

Because I may be short or tall
Because I am fat or thin
Don't classify me
For the color of my skin

Please don't categorize me
Because I excel academically or athletically
Because I may be an honor student
Because I may play sports

Or because I'm none of the above
Don't call me a nerd, geek, preppy, or a jock
I just do some things better than you
And other things not as well

Am I different from you, or
Are you different from me
Aren't we just individuals
Each trying to make our own way in life

Please take a minute to remember
I am someone's son
I am someone's daughter
I am someone's pride and joy
I am the center of someone's universe
