I know a lot of you have heard about the recent suicide of a Rutgers student, who was video taped having sex with is partner. He was gay and apparently not out of the "closet". Which I really have never understood, in the closet out of the closet, it's no ones fucking business who we have sex with. So his roommate Dharun Ravi, what a gay name:), and his girlfriend Molly Wei, who I guess had nothing better to do, video taped him having sex with another guy. They then, from what I understand, broadcasted it over various social networks. You gotta love the internet. I guess the student was so distraught by being "outed" that he jumped off of The George Washington Bridge.
This kid was only 18!! 18!! That is such a waste. The problem is it was his choice to take his life, not anyone else's. Let's be clear right now. I have NO sympathy for anyone who commits suicide. Life is tough, deal with it!! That being said I have always reached out to anyone in need and will continue to do so because I know that is what GOD wants me to do. Some people don't get that message from GOD. That's just the way it is. Their will always be bullies, no matter what kind of laws they try to legislate. We all have been picked on. I was a chubby, poor white trash kid in a very rich high school. Those damn, boundaries:) I got pick on until I challenged the football team in the school cafeteria. Fortunately there were teachers and many witnesses or I would have been killed! BUT, I was never bothered again. I know that sounds like the traditional story of "stand up to a bully and they back down" but it does work most of the time. Besides I would rather get my ass kicked fighting back than just pushed around all the time. People will treat you the way you allow them to treat you. YES I hate that this kid was embarrassed like that and I think the two idiots, Dharun and Molly, should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The privacy issue alone sends me through the roof!!!
This kid, I don't want to mention his name out of respect and I could care less about the two pieces of shit Dharun and Molly, did have options. There are many outreach groups that that are specifically for his situation. He chose the easy way out. Don't start calling me names, like heartless, asshole.... Suicide is the easy way out! Stand and fight!! Take crap from NO ONE!! My nephew, who has had a tough life but no tougher than the rest of us, tried to kill himself when he was in his early 20s or so. He took pills because life was just too hard:( Cry me a fucking river!! I went to the hospital and told him that next time he needs to put a gun in his month and do it right so he doesn't put everyone through this shit anymore. That is what I think about suicide! I'm sorry life just isn't that tough. The worst part about it the ones that commit/try suicide usually have it better than most. Everything is a fucking crisis!! If life isn't the way I want it I will just kill myself. If you hurt my feelings I will kill myself! That is the cowards way out. I am so sick of our whiney mentality. Face life head-on, be who you are and let the chips fall where they may!
I don't care if you are gay, straight, bisexual, trisexual or a poor whitetrash chubby kid you will be picked on. Handling adversity makes you a stronger person. I don't think anyone should be picked on but since I don't live in a fantasy world I have to deal with it. Stand up for yourself and stand up for anyone being picked on. Laws won't change bulling, but you can if the next time you see some asshole picking on someone you step up and make a difference. Besides there really is nothing better than beating the shit out of a bully, so I've heard.
This young man and his family are in my prayers, as well as anyone else in a tough situation.

A quote I use with the kids is "No one can make you feel inferior without your permission." Surprisinly from Dem Eleanor Roosevelt =)but some of the kids get what she was saying. Bullies only pick on those who they know it will bother. If you don't care what they say to you - they'll leave you alone. Or, as in your case, you stand up to them.
