@jeffallen783, "merely bullying"...really? If you can so readily dismiss the impact of being bullied on a child, then you represent the reasons why these children feel like they have no one to turn. It does not have to be sexual to be unbearably painful. Your conspiracy theory that it has to be more because merely bullying is not enough reason for a kid to take his life is NOT a message that should be given to kids who endure or practice bullying. Sorry, repost because I hit submit too soon.

Everyone keeps saying it was bullying. I wonder if it wasn't sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is a federal crime and if it was harassment then the student perpetrators, the school, and the school district are going to have a lot more questions to answer than if it was merely "bullying."

I can't believe abc4 News deleted my comment just because what I said was true and that I'm a minority! -.- Anyway, I wanted to say I'm sorry for this family to lose their loved one. I'm sorry that this had happened to this kid. My deleted comment was that the school administrators will not care nor will they take action unless you are Caucasian. If you are minority, they ignore all reports or complaints that you made. I have never been bullied before but when I was in Elementary - High School, I have been discriminated and I'm still facing that to this day. When this incident happened, all of a sudden they denied that they never heard him complaining about being bullied in school just so they can get away with it. No wonder there's a Virgina Tech incident that happened thanks to people like school administrators and bullies. Stuff like this can be prevented if they listen and take action immediately before thing get worst but they (the administrators) do not care. Bullies are nothing but a bunch of cowards and low-life to the society.
