A nine-year-old boy in Denver, Colorado, has committed suicide on the first week of school after being bullied by classmates for coming out as gay, his mother says.

Leia Pierce told local media that her son, Jamel Myles, killed himself at their home last Thursday after enduring several days of
homophobic bullying. “Four days is all it took at school.

I could just imagine what they said to him,” Pierce told KDVR. “My son told my oldest daughter the kids at school told him to kill himself. I’m just sad he didn’t come to me.” Pierce said her son, who was enrolled at Joe Shoemaker Elementary School, told her he was gay over the summer and that he wanted to come out as such to his classmates when he started school. “He went to school and said he was gonna tell people he’s gay because he’s proud of himself,” she said.

The school said grief counselors had been
made available to students and staff and a
letter was sent to families about the tragedy
and help available.

Pierce said she hopes her son’s death will raise awareness about the devastating effects of bullying “We should have accountability for bullying,” she said. “I think the child should, because the child knows it’s wrong.

The child wouldn’t want someone to do it to them. I think the parent should be held (accountable) because obviously the parents are either teaching them to be like that, or they’re treating them like that.”

Who taught a 9 year old something like that?!

Daeylar:

Who taught his fellow 9 year olds how to bully?
Is the right question in this instance.
The problem is the bullying. Not the boy's sexuality.

9 year old and gay??

He never actually lived if he haven't or have no intention of hitting the right hole.

God works in mysterious ways, maybe a gay angel is needed in heaven.

9years Old Is Gay...


So This One Is Suckin Prick...


He Better Be Dead THAN Continue Such Nonsense

Cute boy but wasted his life making wrong decisions being gay. Americans may accept gays but there's a place in their heart that really hate that sh! t

it is even better he dies and stop committing the greatest sin on earth the World hate their fellow human for. At least the stigmatization and detestation will be no more!

Let his Family and people around him b happy nw

good, very good, 9 year old boy that is much concerned about sex

the population of the world is too much, we need bullies like this to reduce it

Too bad.

At his age, we'd be checking out if there were any strand of hair growing on our pubics by splashing water on it, and if we sighted any we'd usually go giggly happy. But now na we dey find way to eliminate body hair.
