Suicide Is Not The Answer
I've been doing research of all the kids and people who past away from suicide and the number keeps and keeps on going so many lives lost over words and actions. And I feel that kids shouldn't be picking on anyone just cause they look different or don't have any friends. I think we should all try and put a stop to this before its too late. And think about it someone could be bullying you're brother or sister and trust me you wouldn't like it so don't do nothing you wouldn't want to be done to you.SO be mindful and not selfish and think twice before you do or say.
John and Kelly Halligan lost their thirteen year old son, Ryan, to suicide on October 7, 2003. At the time of his death, Ryan was a student at a middle school in Essex Junction, Vermont. After Ryan’s death, it was revealed that he was ridiculed and humiliated by peers at school and on-line. Ryan father writes: “A few days after his funeral I logged on to his AOL IM account because that was the one place he spent most of his time during the last few months. I logged on to see if there were any clues to his final action. It was in that safe world of being somewhat anonymous that several of his classmates told me of the bullying and cyber bullying that took place during the months that led up to his suicide. The boy that had bullied him since 5th grade and briefly befriended Ryan after the brawl was the main culprit. My son the comedian told his new friend something embarrassing and funny that happened once and the friend (bully) ran with the new information that Ryan had something done to him and therefore Ryan must be gay. The rumor and taunting continued beyond that school day … well into the night and during the summer of 2003.”
I find it very sad when kids his age commit such a horrible thing because I imagine of my little brother. And one way that this could of been prevented is if his friend would of kept that secret. And if the kid would of talked too someone but then to the dad and mom could of found out about this if they were more interactive with there kid but its to late now. So my message to the parents is try to interact with you're kids cause you don't know whats going threw there mind or what there going threw so always ask them how there day went or if they ate or hows school going you know something to show them you care cause when most kids commit suicide its because they feel worthless or like they don't fit in or matter but that's not true cause you matter and don't let things get to you .
