Tyler Clementi



This article was really heartbreaking. It's extremely messed up that kids as young as 13 feel so alone and isolated that they kill themselves when all their doing is being true to their self. Over the years most people have become more open about gays but their are still some people who are hateful towards them but i don't understand why. They are no different then we are and they have the same rights as everyone else to choose who they want to love.

Schools think just by having an assembly once a year will fix this problem but clearly its not. i think school administraters should get more involved in stopping bullying against kids in the GLBT community. They should have stricter consequences to hopefully keep the bullying at bay.

The problem should be helped not just at school but at home too. More people should be like Wendy Welsh who, when her son came out to her said, "OK sweetheart, i still love you no matter what". More families should be like that so even when kids get picked on in scholl they have a loving environm
