"I told the kids at the funeral that if you don't get together and confront the bullies, it will be your parents cutting you down. You guys have to stick together, stand up to the bullies, take away their power and they will back down. If you guys don't do it, the system won't."

“I had to cut my son down from the tree [after the suicide],” said Joshua’s father. Joshua Melo, 15, dead by suicide after incessant bullying because some people thought he was gay

most likely not. bullies don't care about others, just themselves. but his dad was right. i used to be bullied growing up. but i finially got sick of it and stopped backing down, and they all went away. i was no fun anymore because i wasn't scaired anymore.
