My bullied son's last day on Earth

This is a terrible story about this plague of bullying and how it is affect our youth.

Bullying comes in all forms. In this case Bermudez was verbally bullied.
And words do hurt. Whoever said sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me only got half the story right. Ignoring name calling isn't enough.

"He used to say Mom they keep telling me this ... this gay word, this gay, gay, gay. I'm tired of hearing it, they're telling me the same thing over and over," she told CNN, as she wiped away tears from her face.

Bermudez doesn't understand why the children at school couldn't learn to get along. Because of it, she'll never get to see her son grow up."

Student who are bullied can put up with things that can last a lifetime. It can also lead to acts of desperation.
