Bullied teen who made ‘It Gets Better’ video commits suicide

This is heartbreaking….

Jamey Rodemeyer, a 14-year-old high school freshman in Buffalo, N.Y., was bullied. A lot. After years of being called gay slurs at school and being told by anonymous people online that he should die, he killed himself Monday.

Here’s the “It Gets Better” video Jamey Rodemeyer recorded:

  1. This poor kid. Would I have loved to take some of his burden away and attract the POS’s to come after me. I’d welcome their hate. This story shouldn’t be policitized but on the other hand, I’d like to ask every Tea Party GOPer if Jamey enjoyed their version of freedom and responsibility by killing himself.

  2. That’s my own personal thought. No one would get any objection from me if someone crammed this story down the throats of the haters and they choked on it…slowly. The world would be a better place.

  3. “This story shouldn’t be policitized….” Really? It already is. Just look at the all the “family values” efforts of groups such as Wisconsin Family Action in Wisconsin politics. This (and other anti-gay groups) fully support Scott Walker and others of his ilk.
