Bully-one who hurts,perseutes,or intimidates weaker people,ill treat.(Websters Dictionary)

On April 9, 2009 Carl Walker Hoover an eleven year old sixth grader hanged himself with an electrical wire. He told his mother repeatedly that he was being bullied at school. Ms. Hoover contacted the school for six months asking the school to get involved and to stop the bullying. Of course school staff cannot admit that bullying is the cause of this trajedy. Most school officials turn the other way,and consider it harmless immaturity. My favorite response to anyone who reports being bullied is that "your just too sensitive" which conceals the true harm being perpetrated at the elementary level. Do you consider being called fag and queer to be nonthreatening and playful? The classmates who were bullying Carl Hoover are responsible for his death. By their cruel words and threatening,base actions it is as if they with their own hands tightened the electrical cord around Carls throat untill he suffocated; and the last breath of life of an eleven year old who was teased,picked on, and yes bullied was released.
