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.

I was bullied like crazy in middle school. My mother and I both when to the administration and they did nothing.

I learned that adults are not powerful -- and even parents cannot save you.

I took me starting a fight and bashing a girl's head into the floor to make it stop. My family had to advocate to me to make it a physical thing -- and to hurt just one person and it would not happen again.

They were right. Luckily, the person I chose to hurt was not myself.

This happened near here. I am disturbed.
