Suicide is Murder. Sure it's not right to bully anyone, but it doesn't justify murder. Whether it be yourself, or someone else. Murder is murder. We have no right to take a life, even if it's our own. Teens are killing themselves, because there is something going wrong inside of them, just as the sickness inside of someone else that has a mind set to murder. We think we're so smart in trying to resolve the issue in our own way "Bringing Awareness". It will never work, exclusively blaming (whom have bullied) for that persons actions. There have been serial killers that have gone through pain from another. Later, began killing others to ease their internal pain. We've all gone through things in life, which has been painful. That needs to be dealt with, inside and other ways if necessary. Five year olds bully each other, the bigger brother or sister bully the other and so on. Sure the councilman is crying. It looks as though he is still dealing with issues. Usually, after healing, the ordeal is remembered, but there is strength inside and tears have dried. He showed a sign of, "It doesn't get better, you will still hurt". It would have been better, if he showed healing and strength. Also, teaching morals of kindness starts in the home. While dealing with a cruel world and how mean people can be, is also discussed in the home. The beauty of kindness should be inside. But, what's on the inside of someone, is what comes out. Sure, everyone should be compassionate and love. God is love and we fail to truly allow Him in. Now, don't get angry, because I speak of God. That's our problem. The sooner we realize it, the better. Now, I want to bring some awareness. It may not mean anything to you now, but it will later. If you murder yourself (suicide) you do go to Hell. Foregivness of sins is asked after the sin. You will not have that chance.

EVERYONE, please wake up and realize that the negative attitudes against homosexuals are usually based on BIGOTRY, PREJUDICE, HATE, and IGNORANCE, all of which is taught and/or learned. I believe that heterosexuality AND homosexuality is NOT a choice, but even if both of these orientations ARE a choice (like religion), please give me a logical and rational reason why heterosexuals and homosexuals in the U.S. should not be treated equally with respect and have equal rights. And please, don't say because of religion, procreation, morals, flaunting in public, or because the majority may not approve, all of which I have addressed as follows: RELIGION - Per the U.S. Constitution, Laws MUST be adopted with a secular and NOT a religious purpose. Separation of Church and State is applicable and there must NOT be any endorsement of religion by the government. (We live in a democracy and NOT a theocracy). PROCREATION - There are many heterosexuals and homosexuals who have sex and NEVER have children for a variety of reasons (infertility, don't want children, finances, careers, age, not ready to be a parent, etc.), and there are many who are biological parents, adoptive parents, or parents due to IVF treatments, egg and/or sperm donation, etc. MORALS - Whose morals, and why is their interpretation of what is moral more valid than your interpretation, or vice versa? FLAUNTING IN PUBLIC - If heterosexuals can kiss, touch, wear tight and skimpy clothing, bump and grind, all of which is done in public, television, video's, etc., on a DAILY basis, why can't homosexuals have that same right (whether it is on a daily basis or once a year in a parade)? MAJORITY -The majority of people didn't want slavery to end, equal rights for women, interracial marriages, etc. If we made laws based on what the majority wanted, many groups within the U.S. would not have equal rights. Everyone has a right to their opinion, but their opinion should NOT DENY others Equal Rights and the SAME respect that they would expect from others. People have more in common, than not in common, and REGARDLESS of differences (for example, race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disabled, etc.), I believe the world would be a better place if we moved forward (not backwards) and stop the bigotry, divisiveness, hate, ignorance and violence.
