The cruelty of hurting anyone, especially those who are already vulnerable, has a negative impact not only those who find no escape, save suicide, but the families and communities that are destroyed as well.
My gay high school classmate who sat next to me commited suicide. It was the most horrible feeling and despair to see an empty desk next to me. He was bullied by schoolmates. It was a lesson to us. We then protected another gay schoolmate by making him part of our group. We practically surrounded him.
My heart breaks not only for you but the classmate who took his life. 💔😭 But I’m proud of youbfor taking it as a lesson and protecting another classmate from bullies. You’re an upstander instead of a bystander. 🌟❤🤗

Absolutely, Janet. 💯 It has a ripple effect that spreads far and wide!

They formed an LGTBQ group at school after his death.
I’m glad they saw the problem and sought to correct it before bullies could target anyone else.
