Bullies are cowards!!!

What a sad world we live in that a child would commit suicide.

I'm 58 from the uk & I'm not ashamed to say that I'm crying while i write this. This is heartbreaking. I am sending my condolences to sammy's family & friends. Sweet dreams Sammy, they cant hurt you anymore.

Any of you parents of these little monsters who bullied this child: YOU ARE FAILURES AS PARENTS.

Can the bullies be punished? Prosecuted? Bullying is serious

As a victim of bullying myself that I grew up having low self esteem, I feel sorry to the parents and siblings of this young lad. You didn't deserve to see how cruel the world is at young age.

Older sister here. My younger sister (and amazing female role model) ended up passing away from suicide last summer. My parents saw the warning signs and for some reason chose to ignore it. Suicide is in some ways the most painful death, because we all feel like we could’ve prevented it. I will never forget reading her last text sent to me at night, explaining that she’s sorry, and how “she hopes we can move on from the pain just like we always told her to”. She had a beautiful passion to help children that I’ve never seen in anyone else. She would’ve been devastated to see this little boy pass away. My sister was 14 years old….. RIP Athena, the kindest girl I ever knew, who had ideas that could’ve saved many, but were instead completely forgotten. 8/21/23 💚💚💚

I hope the bullies and families of bullies will be held accountable as well as the school administration who were already aware of the bullying.

Watching this little guy's casket get carried out was the worst. Too young, way too young.

My daughter was bullied badly when she was in kindergarden. I decided to homeschool her. She is in 15 now. Best decision ever.

And THIS is why I don't like it when I hear older people whining that "these kids are sooooo weak and lazy!!" I'm 44 and can't even imagine growing up these days with cameras everywhere. The bullying was relentless when I was an adolescent, and it wasn't even a word then. These kids have enormous pressure on them, and while they have no more maturity than we did, now they have resources for permanent consequences. God bless this family, and God help us all.

MOTOR BIKE RIDERS - YOU GUYS ARE SO KIND, BIG HEARTS... GOD BLESS YOU ALL

No child that age should ever want to take their life. Children should be happy, not miserable.

This is why we push so hard for anti-bullying. Bullying doesn't "toughen up" a kid, it just makes life more difficult. To a still-forming brain, the difficulty is incredibly more hard to deal with.

He was assaulted. Saying he was bullied, normalizes it. 💔😢💫🕊️

No parents should bury their child. It's so sad that 10 year olds had to go to a funeral for another 10 year old. May the family find peace. Sammy RIP.

Whenever I hear about children who die because of bullying--either by suicide or physical injuries--I wonder what goes through the minds of the bullies. I realize that they probably don't care, but I still wonder if any of them feel.....anything?

That’s so disgusting and sad that a kid had to kill themselves to get away from bullies man that’s crazy 😢
