An incredibly sad story, but to lay blame on bullying is to oversimplify his death.

I do not discount that it happened, nor do I lessen the emotional toll. I think it was but one factor which led to his suicide.

The question I ask is did he have any friends of his own age? No matter how much wisdom he had or how mature he was, he was a 13 year old boy without close friends of his own age. That speaks volumes [to me] regarding the inner turmoil he was dealing with. Was it bullying or a sense of isolation?

I know this isn’t really a “Crime, Law, and Justice” story...I just wanted to ping my friends on this thread.
