BOSTON -- Sirdeaner Walker, 44, has been surrounded by family after discovering her son, Carl Walker-Hoover, 11, hanging by an extension cord in the third-floor landing of the family's Northampton Avenue home in Springfield.

Walker said her boy, upset yet again over another bullying episode at school, had committed suicide.

"They were always saying, 'you're gay, you must be gay, you act like a girl,'" said Walker.

When I got bullied through the first year of secondary school (to the point where I hardly even spoke my family) and finally told my parents, my father insisted it was my fault that people didn't like me. It took me a long, long time to get past those words.

The school can do only so much, if the kids refuse to change. My teachers tried, but within weeks, it had gone back to square one and never got any better, really.
