Sadly, there's a hell of a lot of this, and the fact it gets reported is a true step in the right direction.

I was on the receiving end of the same shit at that age, and it fucking stays with you. There were plenty of kids subjected to far worse than me, and you could see it take its toll.

I knew not one, but two "effeminate" boys in junior high school who tried to off themselves, and I don't think it was because they felt they were too pretty.
