Asher Brown, a 13-year-old eighth-grader at Hamilton Middle School in Houston, shot himself. The morning of his suicide, he came out to his parents. The day before, he was tripped while walking down a staircase at school, then kicked down the remaining stairs when he tried to collect his books, his mother said. His family told the Houston Chronicle that Brown was bullied relentlessly for his small stature, religion, clothes and his homosexuality. There was no suicide note. His stepfather David found his body, lifeless, after coming home from work. "I thought he was laying there reading a book or something," he says. "My son put a gun to his head because he couldn't take what he was hearing and the constant teasing." Asher Brown's worn-out tennis shoes still sit in the living room of his Cypress-area home while his student progress report — filled with straight A's — rests on the coffee table. Asher Brown's uncle told a big gathering of mourners and family supporters on Saturday that school bullies "ripped him up and tore him down everyday." His uncle, a Christian minister, MC'ed the memorial service. "The bullies picked on my nephew because of the way he dressed, how he talked, and the fact he was small. He was a David among Goliaths," Rev. Truong told the large crowd. "But Asher's heart was so big! His heart made him a giant." Asher's school friends, the few who stood by him no matter what, were present and spoke. One of them said there was a "Bully Free Zone" sign at <b>...</b>

On Tuesday, March 1, 2011, Asher Brown would have celebrated his 14th birthday, but the day will be a solemn one for Ashers parents. Four students bullied Asher, a student at Hamilton Middle School outside of Houston, Texas. Ashers parents say they filed numerous complaints, but school officials did nothing. On the day before Ashers suicide in September 2010, students reported that a bully tripped Asher down a flight of stairs. The following day Asher shot himself at home.

The republican candidate for governor of New York, Carl Paladino, wants to ban gay marriage and keep homosexuality away from children. He's okay with the taunting and bullying of gay students. Hatred that causes children to commit suicide! He speaks as a Christian, but as far as I know, Christianity frowns on suicide. If children are not taught tolerance, then this behavior will continue. It would be better if Carl Paladino had a prayer session for: Tyler Clementi, Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover, Eric Mohat, Asher Brown, Justin Aaberg, Billy Lucas, Seth Walsh, Jaheem Herrera, Matthew Shepard and the thousands of others who have suffered at the words and hands of homophobia.

Tyler Clementi, Asher Brown, Seth Walsh, Justin Aaberg, Raymond Chase, Billy Lucas and Cody J. took their lives this year over senseless bullying. It could have been prevented but the ignorance and hate are so strong it's not making people the wrong they've committed. These young didn't have to die if people got together and stood up for right cause. People out there don't be afraid, take a stand, shout if you have to. Let your voice be heard. No matter what color, nationality, or sex you are. You have a voice and you should never let anyone bully you to the point where you want to end it all. Like I said you can always come talk to me. No matter where in the world you live I have open ears and a loving heart. You're special and people do you love you. I love you.

Cyber Bullying/Internet Safety Speaker Josh Gunderson speaks out in response to the recent stories of bullying related suicides in America. "It's time to embrace, not fear, out differences" -Josh Gunderson ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Students, Educators and Parents, In the past three weeks there has been nothing short of an alarming number of stories of teenage suicide. These students, these children, were teased, harassed, bullied and ultimately took their own lives. 18 year old Tyler Clementi, 13 year old Asher Brown, 13 year old Seth Walsh, 15 year old Billy Lucas and most recently 19 year old Raymond Chase, each bullied for being openly gay or perceived to be gay by classmates and peers. These are the stories that managed to make the headlines- but how many others are being told they aren't good enough, are being attacked and feel they have to other choice. How many others are suffering in silence? In total nine male teenagers all committed suicide in the month of September, victims of bullying. People are often afraid of difference. People feel that anything that is different should be feared and they allow that feel to turn into hate. Hate is a disease. It is fear's messenger and it makes us do terrible things in a shadow of our better selves, of what we could be. Hate is not something bred in genetics, it is something that is taught in our homes, something that is taught in our schools, and something that we <b>...</b>
