Bebo website bullies drive 13 year old kid to suicide because of his music taste

06.12.2008, 04:40 AM

A 13 year old was driven to suicide by online bullies because of his taste in music, it emerged yesterday. Sam Leeson hanged himself after months of sickening abuse on his Bebo webpage. He was mocked for his love of heavy metal and emo - a style of punk where fans often dress as goths. His mother, Sally Cope, branded his death ''utterly pointless'', adding: ''I'm not sure what these sites have, but if they are a method of expressing things maybe they should be checked more''. Sam was found dead at his home in Gloucester on Thursday.

He put that much stock into his taste in music?

I mean I've bullied and have been bullied like most others but is music that important? I hope you answer no.

You're tempting me to send them an email asking all 13 year olds reading it to strangle themselves.

The way forward is subliminal evil messages through London Lite's texts and letters page.

There was a girl here in the US that hung herself in the closet over My Chemical Romance a little while ago. Can't remember if it was the internet or the "message of the band" (as aged parents are surely arguing) that drove her. Join the black parade, as they say.

There are often stories on current affairs shows about young teenagers being upset because they get bullied on Myspace - some people will post hurtful photo comments or something like that. According to everyone (the kid, the parents, the journalist, experts in certain fields), the website is always at fault.

pbradley · 06.12.2008, 05:27 AM

FUCK YEAH! Down with the internet! Liberate me!

i have little sympathy, if this kid was too stupid to turn off his computer then he deserves to be naturally selected.

ni'k · 06.12.2008, 06:00 AM

no he doesnt

06.12.2008, 06:19 AM

It does make you wonder about the sort of parents that these kids have, though

Against the Grain hasn't been around for a while now.

Well, I feel sad for the kid. People on the net can be sooo mean sometimes..

When the kids at school give you the shits, it's easy to just show up with a semi-automatic the next day and deliver the ultimate field-trip to hell. Especially in the US of A where you get a free rifle with any purchase of a six-pack of beer (er.. according to cartoons I've seen).

But it's harder to track down bullies in cyberspace. Still, anything's possible...

SO DON'T FUCK WITH MEEE - just because I happen to be planning on seeing Def Leppard in November. Because I'll find you and I'll send you a love-letter. Straight from the heart. Do you know what a love-letter is? It's a bullet from a fucking gun! You get a love-letter from me and you're fucked forever! Do you understand, FUCK!!

Naw - you know I'm just kidding. We're all cool... or are we....?

I n dreams - I wa lk wi th you...
