Move if needed,but this needs to be seen by many eyes as possible.I live in Smith County....and yesterday a 14 year boy named Phillip Parker took his own life.He was being bullied because he was gay and all he wanted was to be accepted.We all know kids can be very mean,but we have got to get the word out to put a stop to it.We need to watch these kids for signs of be bullied,while teaching the ones bullying that it will no longer be tolerated.I did not know the kid myself,but it saddens me that he was hurting so bad that he felt like he had to end his life.Please pray for the parker family and every kid across this country that are hurting right now due to insensitve kids and even adults...we as adults have to teach our kids that just because we dont agree with something due to our faith or whatever reason not to treat others like they are worthless.I know I am rambling but this has struck a nerve with me.I have 3 kids the oldest being a 13 year old boy.He went to a different school than the kid and i have had to get on to him for using words like f****t. I just cant imagine the pain this kid was in nor his family is now.I will be honest but not debating religion here but I dont agree with homosexuality.Telling somebody something is wrong out of love(faith)and calli7ng somebody something insensitve are not even close to being the same.I really hope that my children are not acting in a manner thats hurtful.I have thought about if him and my son did go to the same school, would my son been one that was mean to him? I dont think so but kids change when they get a bunch of other kids.It starts at home with our kids. Help stop it! Sorry for rambling on(or any mistakes in my writing grammer police) thanks for reading and please pray for the parkers,the kids that found out and could not sleep caus eall they could think of is being mean to him and now he is dead.God bless you and all your families.Go vols!Monday wear purple in the memory of Mr.Parker.
