Can’t really say it better
This is a video that Ellen made up in response to the recent rash of gay/bullying suicides.
Not to detract from the whole story she just told, but I was victim of it too. I suffer from PTSD in regards to one incident where my sexuality and bullying was combined. I nearly killed myself that time. I was the butt of “jokes” from others who thought it would be funny to make a date with me and then stand me up.
This is not acceptable on any level.
Those of you who think it is, need to go to the psychologist worse than the victims of your “jokes” do. This scars for life. There is NO fixing it.
To my shame, I passed on the abuse to others. I can’t make up for it, but when I found out that I had done so, I tried to make it right. There is no fixing it, but the cycle can be stopped.

For all its positives the internet has made bullying so much easier and immediate. Covert streaming is obscene and personally I hope that the two individuals involved receive the harshest penalty possible; perhaps not much consolation to the family of the young student but perhaps a wake up call to others that this kind of bullying is not only unforgivable but will not be tolerated by any society.
I, like many sensitive people was bullied endlessly at school. I was one of the lucky ones. At least I didn’t get thrown out of a 2nd (uk) floor window for doing my homework.
Leaving school at 15 was the best thing I ever did. Suddenly the bullies had to pick on someone else. If I hadn’t left when I did, I probably wouldn’t be here today.
I ran into one of the main culprits some 8 years later. He was so proud that he had just bought a 2nd hand Ford Corting 1600E. (The go faster car of the day). He was working as a manual worker for the council yet he was a pretty bright kid when he wasn’t trying to beat the living daylights out of me.
When he asked what I was doing I calmly replied, “Designing Instrumentation for Military Aircraft, namely the RAF Harrier”.
Needless to say, he didn’t beleive one word of it. However his Mother knew mine and he was soon told that I wasn’t lying. 6 months later he piled the Cortina into a tree while totally pissed. I just felt thankful that at least his children wouldn’t be bullies like him.
I wish bullies were put into the town/village stocks and pelted with anything rotten & smelly.
The humiliation would soon stop them.
I live in Japan but I am not Japanese. There is something I can’t understand regarding the “Gaijin”(non Japanese) mindset regarding what we call okama (gays), onabe (lesbians) and new half (TS/TG). A good number of our sports personalities, entertainers and even one famous Japanese writer cum anarchist fall into one of those categories. My nextdoor neighbour is a crossdresser, I’ve seen him at work in Akihabara–he looks quite cute as Sailor Moon and actually looks prettier than a good many genetic women.
So, what is it that’s different about Japanese or Thai society? Why don’t they have a lot of issues about New Halfs or Ladyboys? Just something to think about….
