Re: 10 year old girl in Illinois commits suicide over LGBT bullying - November 17th 2011, 11:25 PM

I can't get my head around the fact that today's 10 year-old children have enough knowledge of LBGT to attribute it to their peers (assuming that's what they did).

Back when I was at school, kids were bullied for shallow things such as being overweight or having ginger hair. Not being gay, transgendered, etc. That kinda thing didn't happen 'til you were well into your teenage years.

Kids really are growing up way too fast. And nothing good is resulting from it.

RIP Ashlynn.
