Tonight at Tadd's during the Warriors for Jamie event Jared Palianta listed a number of young people who are no longer with us due to bullying. I am going to pass that information along here for they should also be remembered. this really touched me last night and I hope it makes at least one person aware of this problem. Thanks Jared.
Raymond Chase, an openly gay 19-year-old student at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, R.I., hanged himself in his dorm room
Tyler Clementi, 18, who killed himself by jumping off the George Washington bridge after his roommate secretly recorded him with another male student, then broadcast the video online. In Clementi's case, the young man's roommate, Dharun Ravi, and another classmate, Molly Wei, face several charges of invasion of privacy for what prosecutors say was a surreptitious filming of Clementi in his own dorm room, a recording that they then allegedly broadcast live on the Internet.

Asher Brown, a 13-year-old from the Houston suburbs, shot himself after coming out. He, too, had reported being taunted at his middle school, according to The Houston Chronicle. His family has blamed school officials as failing to take action after they complained, something the school district has denied.
18, Lundsten had revealed on Facebook that he was openly gay, and some students at Jefferson High School in Minnesota said he was bullied for his sexual orientation.
