Yet another boy who couldn't take the bullying.

Thanks for posting.   A very close friend of mine was bullied for being gay -- actually suspected of being gay -- since he was not sexually active.   Eventually, he also killed himself.

Unfortunately there are still heterosexual people especially males who think its OK to bully and abuse gay people,people from a lot of other countrie are not as liberal as Thailand in their way of thinking , you meet some expats even here who are narrow minded bigots

I am not gay my self but find a lot of gay people very intelligent and interesting to talk to, Its only the how should i put it without offending some one, the very effeminate males who will not except the fact that males who are not gay are quite happy to talk to them with no other motives i give up on

Writing in The Monthly in response to the tragedy, Sean Kelly said even a "glancing acquaintance with common sense" would show that children are influenced by the environments adults create for them.

I agree. It is the parents and the teachers they need to address.
