RU Kid

[randallscott35]

Kills himself after being outed. This is so sad. I doubt the kids who pulled the prank realized that this would be the result. But it is yet another example of not knowing the emotional stability of people and leaving them alone.

What a drama queen.

Yes and no right, and I know you are joking. Fact is, you don't know how someone is feeling when people do things to them...i.e. the girl in Mass. last year who offed herself after being picked on by other kids. I don't agree with the crazy comments on the site about "hate crimes" etc....They played a prank, this kid decided to kill himself. You can't prove intent there. But that's just it, I tell my kids to leave each other alone because you don't really know who is nuts or suicidal at the end of the day. So worry about you and only you.

Joking but serious. The dude went a little overboard.

Totally coach, which is why I feel bad for the kids who pulled the prank. You think these kids really thought he would do something like that? Of course not....But because of what I do I know how fragile kids are, yes 18 is still a kid, and therefore I feel just awful for all the parents involved here.

If one were to speculate...

One of his parents disapproves of his lifestyle and he's been mentally abused to the point he lives in constant fear of being outed.
