Two weeks ago, 14-year-old Rafael Morelos hanged himself because he was bullied in school. Rafael was gay. Friends knew he was being bullied and did what they could to help, but it wasn't enough.
Rafael's mother had no idea this was happening, she thought he was going through normal teenage problems. Rafael's school, Cashmere Middle School, didn't know that it was this bad either. Rafael reported an incident a year ago and according to the principal at they handled those particular incident quickly.
But now, there is no ongoing investigation.
I really hope the school look closely at this incident. Rafael's gone and if people were truly paying attention, he would still be here.
Rest in Peace, Rafael.

This is an alarming epidemic within our society, not just our schools. Strangely, the religious extremists, the current followers of the Prince of Peace are decidedly mute on the subject. One truly wonders on the veracity of their convictions.
Fuck him .I am all cried out! If you are going to take your life because of bullying you might as well get a gun and take some of the bullies to their death with you. Like i said before....Freddy Krueger where the hell are you!!!
That he kid sure is handsome. What a waste.
