It's just a teaser for the actual article, or have you read the full one?
Also: "It was “a very dark period,” he said. “No matter how hard I tried to ignore people telling me to commit suicide, I couldn’t help but feel worthless, like my life wasn’t worth living.”" >> $4k and an iPod.
- codezero 14y agoIt wasn't just the money and the iPod, at the time, there was a huge outburst of support for him and of other people (nerds like myself) sharing their stories, it wasn't "It Gets Better" but it was pretty big at the time. I can't help but to think that his parents shielded him from all feedback (good and bad) and gave him a skewed perception of the event. Don't get me wrong, it was completely fucked up how local folks who he had to interact with on a regular basis invaded his privacy and taunted and teased him, but it's not as if his roommate recorded him having gay sex or as if he was raped and had the video shared while being called a slut.
