The Bullying Thread

Speak for yourself! I wont touch the girl 'to be got' with Michael Fassbender's 10 foot penis. :p

This may be suprising, but growing up in a religious country town kinda sucked, when your gayness can be seen from space. My mum described me as "A kid who always had a little too much sugar in his gas tank", but I never really started to experience problematic bullying until I was 13, but even then, it was just being called f**** 10-15 times a day, people would yell out "Danger! f**** entering" each time I would walk into a bathroom, and when changing for gym, it was always "Be careful or he'll try and rape you or suck your dick off", but I've always been stupidly confident, so it never really bothered me that much when it was spread out.

I told my best friend that I was gay, and had a boyfriend (online at the time, from some video game forums.) when I turned 15 and I'd catch the train for 3 hours to see him twice a month, or he would visit me, and I'd already told my mum, but not my dad, since he would kick my ass. Anyway, I was away visiting my boyfriend for a few days, and had missed a big party that all the teens from the surrounding towns would be at.

The weekend that I was away in Melbourne, my best friend used the newfound confirmed news about me, and leveredged it in an attempt to get 'in' with the popular girls.

The following Monday, I was on the bus to school, and I hadnt checked my myspace for a few days but I could tell that something had changed by the way everyone was looking at me. I felt like filth. The s*** that was said still stings a bit... The amount of times I got told that the seats would have to be burnt so people wont get aids...

The day went on... I had my locker filled with rotten fruit and peels, death threats and "die f****" written all over the books in my locker, my school bag was pissed on, my change of clothes I found shoved in a toilet, my best friends I'd known since I was 3 refused to even make eye contact with me, this group of guys would take their duck-bill hats off when I'd walk past and whack me in the dick with the peak so it really stung.

And then it pretty much continued on for a few months, and I decided to tell my Dad... on Fathers day. He broke my nose, dragged me down the front steps of the house and kicked me out...

Then I found out my boyfriend was banging another dude he'd found on myspace. It was a pretty s***ty 3 months to say the least.

I still have my old myspace account, and the comments on it are really f***ed up. At my highschool reunion, I brought it up on my phone, and deliberately showed the spouses of the f***ers that made my life hell.

I went from aspirations to be a lawyer, to being a homeless 15 year old kid, that f***ed a bunch of gross guys for a place to stay.

I'm sorry.
 
A little perspective on Union County where this family is from. If you are a weak person you will not survive there. I am not condoning anything here but that is a racist, backwoods & redneck place. A local media person was looking to buy a home there. He had his daughter and her (minority) friend along with them to look at houses for sale. The realtor pretty much told them they needed to look at living in a different area if his daughters friend visited very often. I feel for the kid but this blowing up like it has will probably make it worse for the kid.
 
The mother is appearing on Good Morning America in a few moments so it will be interesting to hear her side. I heard locally that someone was posing as her with a fake FB account so we'll see how the story plays out. I agree that the kid has no fault of his parents and his situation is real regardless.

And Belly...you are certainly on strong SOB and no doubt that as horrible as it was that you went through that the result today is the good person you are.
 
I'm so sorry to hear everything you went through Bellybama. Especially with your father. I can't imagine the pain when we turn to the people who are supposed to protect us from the world and they hurt us even more.
 
Thanks for the kind words, but in a way, it was probably a blessing...

Lets face it, if I was a lawyer, I'd be coked off my face, and I'd have so many sexual assault charges against me, Bill Cosby wouldn't know the darndest thing to say. (See what I did there?! :D )

I'm happier rocking on, Charlie Sheen style... #winning :p

I really hope the mother isn't the person that they're making her out to be. She seemed to care enough to want to take a stand against the bullying, to record her kid and upload it.

... And Oblong... If you ever call me a good person again, I'll send a string of threats to Amanda Bynes, calling her ugly.

Good Afternoon everyone, I've been working diligently on this today. I know things have taken an unexpected turn here with this story but the cause is still the same. This was about Bullying, specifically in this case, Keaton. Im working on a couple of things but will not move forward without approval from everyone. I think we can use this for some good. But again it will be the decision of everyone. Here are my thoughts.

Keaton College Fund $25,000
-I have an attorney looking into this for me
There were 2 recent suicides of kids that were bullied.
I feel we can donate to this as well.
With the balance, there is a program called Rachels Challenge that I've been in contact with. They go to schools and teach kids about the story of Rachel. Its a really awesome program and not only teaches kids about being kind to one another it puts it into action. For those that no longer want to be involved with this fund you can request a refund at the link below. Stay tuned for further updates. Thank you.

If you wish to have a refund contact below.
