It's too sad....

I need to be thinking about weight loss goals, but right now there is something else on my mind. I occasionally read the news online about my hometown area. Yesterday I went on the website to find a story about an 11-year-old boy who committed suicide. He hung himself with an electrical cord in his home. His mother found him. He left a note and apparently he had been getting bullied incessantly at school. Usually, they don't cover stories like these in the newspaper back home to give the family privacy, but I think his mother wants to bring attention to the school and the bullying, because she had tried to stop it, but the school did nothing. I saw a picture of him. He was a beautiful boy who died too young.

I cant even imagine what that mother is going through. My sister is only 11 years old. She still plays with dolls! He must have been going through so much pain to even think of suicide in his head. Parents need to teach their kids respect for others and if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all! Sadly, bullies usually learn their behavior from watching their own parents. I can only hope that I will be a good role model to Thomas. It hurts to think that one day he might be the one getting bullied. I just want to protect him from all the hurt in this world.

Ok it feels better to let that out.....weight loss goals soon to come....
