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.

Yeah, in Junior High, I was being bullies by among others, the kid of someone on the school board. My parents intervened, but it was like going up against the Malfoys, except that they had the Principal/Albus in their pocket; it made things worse and the principal tried to expel me. We had to have a court hearing over it! (we won, which just meant my records were cleared, but nothing was ever done about the actual bullying problem).
