Friends and neighbors of Tehachapi 13-year-old who attempted suicide Sunday said the boy is openly gay and was taunted by bullies for years, at school and at a local park.
T*he bullying might have been what led him to try to take his own life, friends said. The boy hanged himself at his own home from a tree and has been on life support since Sunday, according to the Tehachapi Police Department.

He previously attended Jacobsen Middle School, but was put on independent study this year. Friends said he was still bullied outside of school for being gay and bisexual, but he didn't tell close friends how the bullying affected him.

[S]ome parents said the school hasn't done enough to prevent bullying and they are concerned about their children's safety at school.

As a parent, I truly cannot say that I would not resort to violence against some of the perpetrators if this child were one of my own. Christianity becomes a more toxic and foul belief system with every passing day in the hands of the professional Christians who maintain an atmosphere where this type of situation becomes all too likely. I find it more and more difficult to have anything to do with Christianity - epscially because the "good Christians," to there are any constantly yield the field to the hate mongers rather than openly confront them.

Actually, the totally unhinged Christ-psychotics are more in line with Christianity historically. In Ancient Rome, Pagans noted that no one persecuted Christians more than other Christians. And once they took power, they went after the Pagans with a vengance, almost single-handedly destroyed Greco-Roman civilization, went on three bloody damned fool idealistic Crusades, and extended the Dark Ages as long as they can with the Inquisition. And when Protestantism broke out, Europe was flooded with the blood of believers thanks to nonstop religious wars. It was because of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment that Christianity had to improve. And now they, Christians, want to go back.
