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.

School counselors always handed me the "Just ignore them and they'll get bored and leave you alone. They're just looking for attention." Didn't work, just convinced other bullies that I was an easy target. My waist length hair had chunks cut out of it various times, handfuls of hair yanked from my scalp. Pinched, poked, slapped, pushed, taunted and teased. For years.

Time doesn't heal all wounds and words do hurt.
