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.

My word. It's beyond horrible.And at eleven. But then I was terrorized in middle school when I was eleven, so ...

I remember, after my parents tried to do something to help the situation, being dragged into the guidance counselor's office and forced to name my tormenters, who were then pulled in and all of us were given the "now lets see if we all can't just get along" speech.

not. effective.

and that whole "words will never hurt you" bullshit -- total crap.
