Well, this sucks.

It figures that the only time that I can remember my town making semi-national news, it'd be something like this.

Brandon Bitner: Anti-gay bullying leads to another tragic teen suicide

This kid was 14 years old, wore his hair in the "emo" way and experimented with eye makeup, and was called "girly" and "gay" by his classmates as a result.
And last

I just wish I could have known him before all this, since he lived so close to us. I feel like I could've helped somehow...well, there's no guarantee that I would have, but there's no way of knowing that now. U.U

I'm sorry to hear that you've been through the same thing, the bullying. =(

He really did. It's such a shame. U.U

That is so messed up DX And I think it might actually worse that the kid may not even have been gay, since, holy shit, can you say ignorance? :X

My heart goes out to him and his family. :(

PS: I love emo hair! And people should be able to wear whatever they want. Damnit.

That was exactly my point, and that's what got me angry; that those other kids would be so ignorant that they would judge and call a kid names over him liking a fashion style. A fashion style that's kind of awesome, in my opinion.

So does mine. =( And to his friends, too, because that's just a terrible way to lose a friend. U.U

So do I! :D I'd keep my bangs flipped to the side if my mom didn't say "haha, alright, now stop that" every time, and if they stayed like that without getting in my eyes too much. xD;

Yes, yes they should. Stupid ignorant people. >|
