It Did Not Get Better

Not writing the usual nonsense today.  This post is about the death by suicide of a child.  In case you don't the know the circumstances here is a link .  

Why did Jamey Rodemeyer kill himself?  Because he was tormented and abused, apparently beyond endurance.  Why was this child tormented and abused?  Because he was gay, and that made him a target.  Why didn't someone step in, put a stop to the abuse?  Maybe the adults around him tried, did the best they could...but a child committed suicide...a lot of people are going to have to live with that.

Will end this by wishing this didn't happen, wish people would accept each other, wish Jamey had found a reason to believe that it would get better.  Here's hoping his life and death get our attention...hoping we can make a world where this just doesn't happen.
