I'm not one to post sad shit on my blog simply because I like to think of this as my escape. I like my visitors to chuckle, laugh and just forget about the "real world" while they are visiting my blog. But, this is something that made me sick to my stomach. Jaheem Herrera is the second 11-year-old to commit suicide due to bullying at school. That's just absolutely mind-blowing to me. It's bad enough that it happened once, first kid was Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover, but to have two kids take their lives because some idiots think it's funny to bully someone to the point where taking their own lives is the only way they can prevent it. What makes me more sick about this situation is that both set of parents complained to the schools about the bullying their kids were enduring. Yet, apparently nothing was done to stop it, or help these kids out. I'm not happy about this at all, and it's unbelievable that bullying still happens. At some point school districts and parents need to figure out a way to truly explain to kids the dangers of bullying other kids. Both of these stories are way to similar and that should be a freakin' rude awakening. Let's hope that society can do something to help this horrible epidemic of bullying.
