Bullying to death

Reading this story, I could not help feeling like I'm going through the same thing as this kid.

When you live with a situation that you can't correct by yourself and people who should help you, whose job it is to do something about it, keep ignoring you you feel hopeless. It wears you down. You can't get out of it. You don't want to go through it anymore and you can predict with certainty that you will again. When you have no doubt that you're going to suffer with the same stuff tomorrow, you really don't feel like getting to tomorrow.

I'm 35 years old and this is how I've felt for a long time about the way my neighbors are allowed to affect me whenever they feel like it. I've felt that desperate. But this was a kid. How can people not help a kid? I've heard about the increase in bullying. Even at a local school. Last night I went to a neighborhood meeting and they were saying how Keith Middle School ("Junior High" when I went there) is now some den of bullying. I don't understand how people stand by. Do they not believe that people can be driven to suicide or worse? It was ten years since Columbine this past Monday. Oprah pulled her show because it was too much about the shooters. Well guess what? They were bullied. It should have been about them. That anger that very normal anger that comes out of you when you're bullied can either be turned outward the way it was at Columbine or inward the way it was with this 11-year-old boy. I hope all their teachers/administrators rot in hell. I've got a few "law enforcers" they can save a place for.
