Sadly, another gay teen has committed suicide due to bullying.
Jamie Hubley, a 15-year-old from Ottawa, Canada has taken his own life on Friday, and like Jamey Rodemeyer, who committed suicide last month due to constant bullying documented about his constant torment on YouTube and blogged in painful detail about his struggles with being an openly gay teenager as well as his struggles with depression. He was taking medication, but the teen says it wasn't working to deal with his depression.
Read his final blog post below:
Im a casualty of love.
Well, Im tired of life really. Its so hard, Im sorry, I cant take it anymore.
First Id like to mention my friends Nancy, Abby, Colleen, jemma, and Kasia
Being sad is sad : /. I’v been like this for way to long. I cant stand school, I cant stand earth, I cant stand society, I cant stand the scars on my arms, I cant fucking stand any fucking thing.
I dont want my parents to think this is their fault either… I love my mom and dad : ) Its just too hard. I dont want to wait 3 more years, this hurts too much. How do you even know It will get better? Its not.
I hit rock fucking bottom, fell through a crack, now im stuck.
My favorite singers were lady gaga , Adele , Katy perry, and Jessie james, Christina aguilara and most of all I think KASIA!!! I LOVED Singing, and she helped me a lot : ) Im not that good at it though :”/, Im going to miss you guys
(well You know who you are, But to the people who didnt like me (many) A big fuck you, Go ride a unicorn. But w/e I love you anyway.)
Remember me as a Unicorn :3 x) MAybe in my next life Il be a flying squirreel :D
Il fly away.
It breaks my heart everytime I hear another gay teen take his life because a bunch of self-hating punk ass bitches don't have anything else better to do but take their frustration and hate out on others. What I fear is that after Jamey killed himself last month, Jamie and others will name drop their favorite celebrities just to get people like Lady Gaga to dedicate a song for them in their concerts just because they are a fan of yours. To me everytime you single out a person(s) who committed suicide, you are in my opinion glorifying them in a way they shouldn't. It makes them infamous in death, which is something we glorify anyway whenever someone famous either commits suicide or has an untimely death. And in the YouTube generation in which we live, this is a scary time for that kind of glorification. My condolensces go out to Jamie's family, but I feel that celebrities need not walk the line of glorifying their fans who kill themselves, because we don't need kids to think that if they kill themselves and give their favorite celebrity a shout-out, then they will be acknowledged in death and immortalized.
