Yet another different kid bullied to death
A 16-year-old transgender girl who spoke on YouTube about being bullied at school in Southern California has killed herself, a support group said, raising questions about what educators can and should do to support students who change gender identity. Taylor Alesana was constantly picked on by peers before taking her life last week, the North County LGBTQ Resource Center said. “With few adults to turn to, and with no support from her school, her life became too difficult,” the group said. “Taylor was a beautiful and courageous girl, and all she wanted was acceptance.” Alesana attended meetings at the center and was very supportive of others, said Max Disposti, the group’s executive director. She posted a series of online videos that included makeup tutorials and accounts of her struggles. In her first video posted in October, she said bullying began at a San Diego-area middle school when she disclosed that she was bisexual. Whoever tormented her, I hope you're happy. That's now one less person who can do any actual good for this world. Speaking of which, it's not too late for you bellends to turn it around. Click here and absorb the song's message.
