Mentally or indirectly, they did in a way.

I don't think he asked for help through a forum topic. That snippet I quoted was from facebook after he was hospitalized I believe.

OK, i might have gotten mixed up

i mean i might understand why he bottled it up, i could guess it was the autism, is its aspergers no doubt it would make sense that he didn't tell anyone

There could be indirect homicides for so many things

A lot of the bullying was because he was indeed a bit weird, and was I believe mildly autistic. He was funny though, cracked some damn good jokes.

Why does anybody loving assume the traditional "stand up for yourself thing"? You do realize that some people don't have the mentality or morale for that

Tell an adult?

Tell an adult?

often people who "don't have the mentality or morale for that" are scared that if they tell an adult it'll only get worse cause guess who's the tattle tale and had to get an adult's help

I would only consider this only if it was a continual thing with the person. I'm not talking about touching your buddy at a wood chipping plant and next thing he's cut in bits.

I don't want to be an starfish and I do feel bad for the person, but they were taught as a little kid that when life pushes you down, it's OK to stay down. Well it's not.

You may have been taught that, not all people have.

I'd like to add that this wasn't a one year thing. People speculate that it's been happening a bit longer, mostly due to his autism. Might be other reasons, but he is a bit weird as I said earlier. Still, he was funny and always wore this fisher hat that was really cool.

[lolz??]

I know it's really not this simple and he was probably undergoing depression but I'd think he'd atleast do something to them, it just seems quite insane not to stand up for yourself at that point; I know he'd probably be afraid of retaliation of some sort but what's really forgeted up is that the teachers didn't do stuff about it, if he was on the verge of Self Delete from the harrasment surely it'd be somewhat obvious, in my school there's a very small number of students so everybody acts behaved (I'm still unsure if it's because they're genuinly nice or it's a result of a larger teacher to student ratio)

I blame parents for this. Who teaches their children that its OK to be a loser or sad or whatever? "That guy beat you up and took your stuff? Ah it's ok son you'll soon learn being a push over is how you survive and get all the ladies!"
