October is National Bullying Prevention Month in the US. This becomes much more relevant off the heels of the recent tragedies involving 8 young men who were "bullied to death" in just the last 3 weeks. It is mind-boggling and heart-wrenching at the same time.
Is it just coincidence that all these kids are gay? If I remember correctly, some of them were already being bullied even before they admitted being gay. But still, gay or not, what makes this issue more urgent is that these are CHILDREN who are KILLING themselves. How could they have been driven to a state of total desperation that made them believe they are worthless and that there was no other way out but death?
