Bullicide

When a teen is bullied so relentlessly that suicide is the only way to stop the suffering.

And teachers, coaches, and school officials can be and often are complicit. So very, very sad. And far, far too common. Even non-gay kids suffer gay taunts and torments. It's a shame but no surprise that the rate of suicide among gay youth is so much higher than the average.
