I'm Currently Feeling:  | Kid hangs himself - RIP Sam Leeson
So sad i have been reading about this all week, Sam Leeson was a victim of bullying and was found at home after commiting suicide by hanging at home, what makes it more sad is that this boy went to my old Secondary school. I went past yesterday as saw the flowers attached to the school gate, so sad that a life has been lost due to bullying.
I was looking up some stuff on Youtube and some friends have done some memorial feeds on him but the responses from people are so upsettting and nasty how can people be so intolerant these days.
Sorry for the rant, just makes it more closer to home with it being my old school. The school say that they dont have any bullying but i find that very hard to believe. kids can be so cruel - believe me i had 5+ years of being bullied. most of the way through primary, secondary and even 6th form! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Poor family!
I do believe the kids of today are getting worse I hope it slows down over the years or we'll be living in hell (are we already) & my Caitlin will never leave the door! Mums will soon fear sending their child to school & letting themleave the house to hangout with friends |

I'm Currently Feeling: | They said it was all due to the internet site Bebo.
But one pupil said that he got bullied on the bus, because he was an 'Emo' |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | It seems to have become so much easier for the bullies now they can harrass people online ...such pathetic cowards. I hate the fact that schools just seem to turn a blind eye to it when it happens in every school. No matter how many parents report it, they claim that there isn't a problem and do nothing about it. Poor family |
