I saw this on the news and was absolutely blown away by both the sadness of the story but also what kids are doing to help others in the future.
Here is a snippet from the story on Jamey Rodemeyer from the Washington Post:
Jamey Rodemeyer, a 14-year-old high school freshman in Buffalo, N.Y., was bullied. A lot. After years of being called gay slurs at school and being told by anonymous people online that he should die, he killed himself Monday.
We must always remember as adults that bullying is a learned behaviour.
150 kids got together to make the following video as a tribute to Jamey and to help stop bullying. It is horrible that one person has taken their life as a result of bullying so I hope the video that the kids made helps others.
It is the least I can do to share it. I hope you will too.
