But this kid was stupid to give up and if he did this out of something from formspring (don't really know wtf is that) then he is also a dumbass, what a waste.
i think the worst thing is that .. he put on a mask to say "it gets better" and then he goes and commit ..... really just shows how society makes you alter the way you live (formspring is like a social website where you ask people questions (or go on as annon and sent hate))
oh my god Nas actually has a heart. lol jk sad, though :( I wouldn't say he's putting on a "mask." I think he really thought his life was getting better but in the end he cracked anyway. He shouldn't have ended his life. There are many people who would support him and his sexuality. Poor kid. Suicide is not a solution. It's just a problem you pass on to your family and friends -_-
Ah thats bad, we had a homosexual in my school but nobody ever teased or troubled him about it. Blood is on the bullies hands now even though I'm sure the bullies will deny it but it will come back to haunt them, if not in this life then the next.
Tribute video by hundreds of people for jamey !!! so emotional ! [video=youtube;O8atm4rpwIM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8atm4rpwIM[/video]
i agree with N with the bullies, but i disagree about him being a dumbass. IT was stupid in most people's point of view. But remember, he's only 14. He doesnt even kno what "never give up" means. A 14 year old holding this burden is VERY hard.
well he wasn't really a dumbass but he was weak to give in. All this will do is probably will cause pain to his family. Maybe some of the bullies will have remorse maybe some of them will laugh. Its just a cold world that some people are raised like that or just maybe thats their human nature to pick on the weaker but i guess thats life.
^ I think it's more of a discrimination issue than a weak vs strong debate. It's sad that it ended like this. It takes courage to resort to suicide but it takes more courage to live on and face your problems but this is reality of the real world; it takes a bit of everything to make a society, nothing is perfect or always fair.
Gagas tribute to jamey at the i heartradio concert/fest....... plus you see his last message to gaga before he committed suicide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aER4KfBvpwA&feature=player_embedded#!
yeah discrimination too but the guy was weak probably because not alot of people got his back but he in the end he gave up, he couldn't stand up for himself.
He's pretty much hypocrital about this. Doing the vid then go and commit?! Just to tell other young gay teens that there is no light at the end of the tunnel. TBH America isn't the best place to come out that you are gay because it seems like there is less acceptance and lots of bullying compared to UK. Maybe I am wrong but that is my perception. Poor kid though for not getting the help he needed but I do sometimes wonder why kids don't just hold back their sexuality until they leave school or something? Do people need to express that much in their sexuality that early?
well with celebrities like lady gaga encouraging it and such they definitely have motivation to come out earlier and they are still young they don't think about it. But it is better than being a closet gay cause thats just lying to yourself. Like how teens go date earlier and earlier and how casual it is talked about they don't really think about it. But society is still currently not taking it as a norm and against the behavior and belief. Also one more comment about the bullying, this is getting alot of attention because of the lbgt community and such but i'm pretty sure there exists many other incidents out about a bunch of other stuff but the spotlight just isn't on them.
^ I know the whole celebrity culture and influence makes teens feel more obliged to open up sooner. My query is why not leave it a couple of years later like when they are 16 or 18 when maybe they do know whether they have made the correct decision in telling people or not. 13/14 seems pretty young but its not my place to say so. Bullying will never stop but the whole weak discussion is right though. I was bullied pretty badly in school and I never gave up (maybe not for the same reason as this kid) but strength needs to come in from friends and family too. By the looks of things, he didn't have any genuine friends or if he did, they were too scared to hand around with him because the bullies won't just bully him himself; or the fact that his family doesn't even support the whole gay issue. Without family's beliefs, bullying can not be coped throughout.
well i think it should be kept secret unless they are forced to have a gf or bf (which they are usually not at what 14!) lol but just dont go falling for your best friend etc and keep that a secret cause it would just be taxing. I dunno people seem to develop a need to express their sexual orientation soo early nowadays its not like they are even encouraged by their parents to date etc at that age. Usually they are also too weak to keep a secret and feel the need. Its like too heavy of a baggage for them to handle themselves so they have to express it, they are too weak to carry it. If you think expressing yourself this early is brave then I say if you have the balls to express yourself then don't give up and kill yourself in the end that's all i have to say.
Stuff like this makes me wanna power bomb ever bully out there. Kind of like this kid did - [video=youtube;isfn4OxCPQs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isfn4OxCPQs[/video]
I think it's the fact that bullies bully and gay kids have no other choice but to come out and feel the need to just say ... *yeah so what ! I am gay* ... Dunno about u but I didn't go round telling people I'm bi till people asked me in college but people still called me gay etc
