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.

Yea, and how easy is it to ignore being cornered by someone 6 inches taller, a star athlete, and quite a bit heavier carrying a piece of classroom equipment that amounts to a cane, who puts death threat letters in my locker? Ignore that? In what sane world?
Although the bit which still turns my head sideways was having one of the popular kids who was an ally later ask me why I didn't clearly and verbally say the word 'no'. Like she didn't have permission to step in until that happened? WTF people!

That poor child. That poor mother.
