The media and stupid celebrities sure do whip up passions over certain situations....of THEIR choosing..
A couple days ago, a youngster of 14 in this end of the 'peoples republic of NY' killed himself. It is alleged that he was "bullied"...and it was at least partially because he was confused as to whether he was a "gay" person or not.
I can understand the pain of his parents and family and sympathize with them..but somehow, the media and celebrities have picked up on this ONE suicide, making it an national/international story! Even that silly "Lady Gaga"..has jumped on the bandwagon !
How many teenagers in the last month have taken their own lives ? Why hasn't the media picked up on them ? Why hasn't the media driven their stories into international prominence ?
Locally, the radio talk shows are beating the drums over this case, all day long. They talk to neighbors, friends, parents and school teachers/administrators & counsellors..if they can get them to talk. They ask about "bullying"..intimidation etc.
....But I have yet to hear them ask the obvious.... Knowing that with very high disease and suicide rates, "gay" is anything but gay (in the original sense)..why don't they ask this most obvious question;
" Did you do your best to pull this child back from even considering entering into such a perverse, dangerous and miserable lifestyle" ? or... "What did you do to help him this destructive, ugly manner of living" ?
