Action = Life

Another bullied teenager takes her own life... It's time to speak up, speak out.

We had a young boy Hang himself last month and then two days later a young girl tried both from the same area. Mostly due to Bullying.. Our school district knew about the bullying and did pretty much nothing to stop it.. I don't understand it.
Why -- is just not good enough any more,, It's time to say NO MORE...
This is a wonderful shot . I hope it reaches someone who needs it!!!

Very heart breaking.

@nikkers Yeah, go figure. Apparently bullying is exercising one's right to free speech.

[Nikkers]

@aikiuser Thats one thing I dont understand about this country.. free speech is not free speech when the price of what you are saying is death!!! either your own or someone else.

[Penny Milner]

The same thing happened here recently-just so tragic. This is very poignant

First, I am so glad you made the top 20, congratulations!!!! Very well deserved, the photo is just amazing!
Very nice photo here, and it is a shame to hear things like that, very sad.

@alecio Thank you! DIdn't mean for this one to be such a bummer for folks, but did think it an important topic. I really appreciate all your kind comments!

[Alecio]

@aikiuser Don't you worry, life it is what it is.

Very sad that this seems to be happening more and more.

[Julie Ryan]

that is so sad; our schools have put a "no bullying" policy in place this year and are really trying to enforce it. I tell my daughter to always treat people with kindness at school no matter what -- so that she is never the cause of someone being depressed or feeling rejected. I hope she will listen.

I immediately thought of the old Pearl Jam song Jeremy, specifically the 90's controversial video. It left an impression on me. Anyways, a more recent video someone shared with me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4a4MR8oI_B8. Hopefully it has made it's rounds and positively touched somebody out there. Thanks for sharing and raising the awareness of this sad trend.

@lintbrush Thanks, Matt, I hadn't seen that particular video. It's awesome and Pixar totally rocks!

[Rena Musallam]

This is so sad.

What a wonderful tribute piece. It is such a shame to see this happening to young people around the world. @lintbrush - Thanks for sharing that beautiful Pixar video, too.
