This is true events concerning real individuals. I am trying to bring awareness to this subject. Why is this so important too me? I was bullied in school because I was gay, effeminate, smaller than the rest and came to school looking like I had been worked over by Muhammad Ali for fifteen rounds.

Last week twelve year old Drayke Hardman from Utah committed suicide after being bullied by one unnamed classmate. The bully had been suspended, but when he came back he continued his bullying ways. When Drayke came home with a black eye his parents asked him about it and he said snitches get stitches.

In 2019 both of my granddaughters attempted suicide. The same reason as young Drayke did, bullying. My youngest granddaughter spent a week in the hospital because she took an over dose of something that she still won’t tell us to this day. My oldest granddaughter tried by cutting herself. She was put into a mental health facility for a month. Now she is doing well.
