There are many types of bullying that occur. The most recent one that seems very popular is electronically bullying. People seem to think that they can bully people over texting, voice mails and even in person where they can lie there way out of it. The people being bullied are the victims. And before they get help, they usually dwell on every negative fact about them selves as possible. One of the most hurtful topics is how people look at other people and their sexuality. Even though it really is not anyone's business besides the person there selves, other people still feel the need to make their comments and thoughts known. And those hurtful and hateful comments lead to some very sad and misunderstood deaths. Just like Jamey Rodemeyer. Jamey was a 14 year old boy who lived his short life in Buffalo, NY. Personally was a friend of my families.
Jamey was such a great, loyal, sweet and caring person. Very pure. Although people notice him now, some people made him stand out unwillingly at his very own high school. Like his pop superstar role model Lady Gaga, Jamey has gone through many ups and downs but this time it sadly seemed to catch up to him. Some people wonder how he went from a video posted on YouTube, about staying positive to hating his life to the point of throwing it away. As many know one of Jamey's best friends was killed not to long ago by a car. Even though they were 3 years apart they still had a very close friendship. When she passed it was one of the many times Jamey's view on life changed. Also the time when his very own grandmother died, whom he was very close with.
As Jamey Stated before the devastating night of his death, He was looking forward to being with his best friend and grandmother. This young boy had so many voices being forced into his head. Which lead him to start believing them. Which sadly led to a heart stopping ending. Jamey Rodemeyer had a very hateful look on life and sadly will not be in our presence any longer. But people need to grasp the point that bullying should no longer exist. Bullying is just another sad way of showing someone's insecurities. Is it really worth it? Is it really worth watching someone who did absolutely nothing to you to suffer. To suffer because you don't like the way they dress, or act, or who they hang around with? Or maybe who they seem to like. It's really sad that they will truly spend their dear time putting someone down just to make themselves feel inferior to everyone else. Well I hope everyone understands that being inferior is the last thing you should feel when you accomplished such a hateful and cruel action. Apologizing... too late. Because of you Jamey Rodemeyer will not be able to be seen as anything other than just another victim of bullying. But to me he was so much more than just that
