Okay so i know this isn't pretty but it needs to be addressed.
ATTENTION WITTY.
So today, this man came to my school. He was the father of a victim of bullying, his story had no happy ending, his son killed himself due to bullying. You could hear the pain,horror and even a little bit of fear in the mans voice. How he got up and told this story beat me. His son was called names, got made fun of, rumors , and a girl even pretended to like him. The father had thought that he had the problem taken care of, instead of telling his parents when the bullying began again, he hid it. He began getting bullied in the 5th grade, it never really completely came to an end. This story this man told, touched me, i know corny but i never really thought about how much pain words can cause. This boy killed him self when he was only 13, leaving his family, leaving some of his friends, with no closer either, no note was left. So in all this, even more pain was caused, after he was dead,the bully continued to make fun of him, how could one kid be so heartless? i was wondering that the whole time. The father was so furious he wanted to go to the house and kill him. But then he though, this would wind up being regretted , the kid broke down in tears after the father told him to tell the truth and stop denying what he had done to his son. The boy began to break down in tears apologizing, that girl, the one who pretended to like him, she apologized too, and cried and cried in the fathers arms. This fathers name is John Halligan. He sons name Ryan. Ryan killed him self from bullying, cyber as well in 2003 , to be exact On October 7, 2003. Ryan could have had a real life , but some kids ruined it for him. Stop cyber bullying please, and stop regular bullying as well. Do it for that teenage boy , please. Do it for Ryan , Ryan Halligan .
