“I dont know what find a way means to a little girl who is being repeatedly gut-punched”
This kid did not kill himself because he was physically hurt. Self worth has to be taught and nurtured in children. It must come from inside.
When taking on a larger and more numerous foe, brains beats brawn. There are many ways to undermine and humiliate bullies other than beating them to a pulp. Not that I object to the beating if one is able.
I am simply tired of Freepers blaming the victim. This was a little boy whose father was dead, and rather than feeling compassion for a kid who didn't have anybody to teach him how to stand up for himself, you are all finding fault with him because he was overcome. He was ten years old, for God's sake! Were all of you pillars of courage, foresight, wisdom, and emotional strength at ten? He hadn't even had the time to develop mature thought processes. He did something foolish out of temporary sorrow, and might have regretted it even while he was strangling. Stop beating up on him--he had enough of that in this life. It's a good thing he's now in a place where no one can beat up on him.
