evolves with time. It used to be that you could go home and forget
all your problems. Your home was a safe heaven and you had nothing
to worry about with the comfort of your family. Nowadays you can go
home look at the computer or laptop and the bullying continues on
many sites and pages. There is no escaping bullying anymore.
Tyler Long17 year oldDiagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome.Great
StudentWell behavedReally driven and friendlyCould be in the middle
of a crowd of strangers and start a conversation with someone like
hes known them his whole life. TylerOctober 17, just months into
his Jr. year in high school Tyler went home after school and
changed out of his pajamas and right into his favorite t-shirt and
jeans. He then strapped a belt around his neck and hung himself
from his top shelf in his bedroom closet. Later Tylers dad walked
into his room and found him. Tylers dad called for his wife and she
brought a knife so that Tyler's dad can cut off the belt from
Tylers neck. He even tried CPR and calling an ambulance but it was
too late.
TylerTyler was never the most athletic. When he was in P.E., he
was always the last one to be chosen. Nobody would be on his team,
cause they said he was a geek and he was a fag, and they said they
didnt wanna play with him.Tylers ParentsThe last couple of days we
had heard that he had his head shoved into a wall locker. Some kids
had told him to go hang himself, that he was worthless. And I think
he got to the point where enough was enough. Tylers Dad
Tylers SchoolWhen Tylers parents confronted the school before
hand about bullying the district just said, well what can we do?
Boys will be Boys. After Tylers tragic death school officials
denied any wrong doing. Murray County Superintendent Vickie Reed
said, All school systems have bullying problems. Is it a major
problem or concern in our high school? No it is not. The school
even refused to have a moment of silence in honor of Tyler.

became really happy. Time passed and there were five people who
bullied her. They stalked and harassed her as well. Everyone wrote
cruel things about her on Facebook and twitter. In the hallways,
library, and outside of their high school they would throw things
at her and call her names in front of everyone. One September night
they drove by Phoebe's house and caught her outside they yelled at
her and told her to go kill her self and that is exactly what she
did. Phoebe's mom found her hanging in their stairway.
Ben Vodden Field11 years old"When Ben told us people were being
horrible to him on the bus, we even suggested to him he sit near
the driver where he would be safe.Ben an 11 year old kid was being
tormented and teased on the bus and at school by kids of all ages.
Ben would always come home crying and tell his mom he wouldnt want
to go back on the bus. He even tore up his bus pass. He also tried
to hit the bus vents so he can be kicked off. He finally told his
mom and she told him to sit by the bus driver so he can keep an eye
on Ben but instead of sticking up for Ben or protecting Ben the bus
driver began taunting and name-calling as well
Ben Vodden Field
"The simple fact is that Ben would not be dead if he hadn't been
bullied. We strongly believe that."Ben's mother Caroline, 47, said
his last words to her were: "I'm sorry, Mummy.""On December 4 he
came home from school and he was the most upset I have ever seen
him. Ben said the bus driver had been calling him Master Bate
because he was a little w*****' and everyone else on the bus had
started calling him that too." The boy nicknamed Giggles by his
family because of his "fun-loving and enthusiastic" nature was
found with shoelaces around his neck and tied to his bunk bed after
enduring months of bullying.
Since starting secondary school last September, Ben had
encountered name-calling, gesturing and swearing on the bus. He was
being bullied by the other children and the bus driver day after
day.
