However, if you speak to any school teacher in Britain they will most likely confirm that when a British schoolgirl gets someone in their sights, they can turn into witches of pure evil, and create minions out of everyone close enough around them to be pulled into their web.

It is very sad that this happened, and I cannot imagine what the teachers were doing for it to even get this far as every school I know of has strict punishment for homophobic bullying.

“That guy had options open to him that he did not consider carefully enoguh and apparently a loving parent which is a good basis for change.”

According to you, that know him so well? This is just presumption.

“He was bullied in school? Transfer to another school. This is not even running away it quite simply is the easiest solution to an exisiitng problem. Based on the article his mother tried helping but he refused that help and instead chose to kill himself.”

Easy for you to say. I can’t imagine anyone or any newspaper painting the mother in a bad light after such an incident, even if there is blame to be had. You seem to think newspapers print truth?

“I also believe all these sob story articles are becoming part of the problem where young people tend to ignore their options and instead just commit suicide for at least it will make a nice article.”

Anyone who think it will make a nice article (and it might just be you), is obviously mentally unwell and not capable of making sensible decisions.

“Bullying is idiotic and harmful yes, but killing yourself is not the only way out of it. Remember that girl that killed herself after cyber bullying on the internet? Why not just switch the internet off, or visit other forums on it? Why stay where you are obviously not liked and dont feel well?
And back to our example at hand. If his mother offered support why ignore it and go on thinking he could take on the world alone to then kill himself leaving his kid behind?”

Again, trying to use rationalism with suicidal people (who are clearly beyond being rational) is ridiculous. You are presuming the mother was there, every time a child dies the mother is brought out a caring, doting type (there are very few exceptions). Maybe she was, but the newspaper is hardly going to paint her otherwise if not.

“So enough with those articles already and enough with people like you preventing a serious discussion about this topic in general.”

What have you added to this but condemnation of a dead boy? Suicide is the hardest, most irrational and irreversible thing one can do. I hope there is someone more caring there for you in your times of need.

Bullying by girls imho is worse than boys and the fact that boys cannot ‘hit back’ physically makes them feel worthless.

At only 15 and still legally a ‘child’ he had his whole life in front of him and I really feel for his family and friends.
I know there is support out there from a number of places but at the end of the day it is how the individual deals with it that is most important.

How very, very sad and that the demise of young lives (male or female) will continue while there are nasty, evil people in the world.

RIP Anthony.

I hurt for each and every one of these boys and the fact that they existed on social media and there’s often videos of them, just makes it that much worse. However, the societies they live in have done ever so poorly on getting resources to them and making them understand all the choices they have at hand. A society that just tolerates LGBT folks is not one that nurtures them as equals.

Being afraid to do the right thing doesn’t help the young adults at all.
