Another Teen Suicide

It is sad as I search the papers across the US I find more and more stories of teen's being bullied and taunted to the point the think the only way out is ending their life. It makes me sad there are other ways of dealing with bullies and it is time that our Law-makers make tougher laws dealing with this issue that has spiraled out of control.

A gay New Mexico teen reported committed suicide after being subjected to intense bullying from his classmates.
Seventeen-year-old Carlos Vigil posted a note to Twitter before he decided to take his own life. Segments of that note have been cited by The Latin Post the Daily Mail and Queerty, among other media outlets.
The New York Daily News that Vigil, who would have been a senior at Albuquerque's Valley High School this fall, was taken off of life support at the University of New Mexico Hospital on July 16.
Meanwhile, Carlos' mother Jacqueline Vigil told Local News that her son had been bullied since he was at least 8 years old.
“He had this lunchbox, a smiley face lunchbox, and people thought it was the funniest lunchbox ever, and they made fun of him for it,” Jacqueline is quoted as saying. “They grabbed it on the school bus and just threw it on the floor and broke it. It's just little things like that.”
Carlos' father Ray Vigil echoed those sentiments to NBC affiliate KOB-TV, noting, "We found out three years ago that he was going through this stuff and we've been trying to help him every day since. We realize he's been going through it every day since he was in the third grade, that's a long time for a child to hold that within himself."

When is this going to stop.These teens are the future and they are ending their lives so fast.Our School Leaders and our Community need to work together to end this epidemic before it is too late
