My anger is because I have to hide from society when I'm right in the middle of it. You ppl don't understand what it's like to be a gay teen in a small town, I can't even tell my parents . I wear girl's panties and shave my legs so I can try and feel like my true self, a female.
I'm angry at you , me , parents, everyone. Why can't I be stronger ? kids come out all the time. I'm just too afraid of what might happen. That's why I have no friends, ppl say I whine like an old lady, WELL DUH !
Why are you guys sitting here using hateful words towards after JUST watching a video about a boy who commited suicide from bullies? It makes no sense.
07961380370 << This girl is a pussy and threatens to kill herself everytime somebodys something to her at school, she doesn't even get bullied that bad the coward, send her nasty texts and I bet you this fanny licker will cry and threaten suicide
wow....this....did.......not change my life. that kid is a hardcore pussy. bully victims are some hardcore pussies, they cant stand up for themselves so they want someone else to do it for them. but in the end they'er still big ass pussies.
cant take the heat, kill yourself hahahahahahahah.
@WESTMIDLANDSGIRL2K11 go fuck yourself and have your bully take a shit on your chest and as you smeer it all over yourself have him/her take a piss in your mouth. and tell them thank you as they do it. pussy.
@conanthedeciever Youre such a fat prat it's impossible, but somehow it's happened. Ryan had a condition where he was very sensitive to remarks. Follow some advice for once, get a life and SHUT YOUR BIG MOUTH.
Just watched this in my Cyberpsychology: Cyberbullying lecture. This is awful.. I can't imagine what Ryan must have being going through. I hope at least, his story will go on as a perpetual piece in the prevention of online bullying and furthermore, teenage suicide.
His dad came to our district today, and regardless of what some of you guys think, the story was heartbreaking undoubtedly. It's not necessarily the dad's fault or Ryan's fault for the amplified pains of bullying through peer-to-peer networking online. It's like here on Youtube, a lot of times anonymity contributes to backlashing; it's not out in the "real world:, so some feel they have nothing to lose.
I have almost the exact same name as Ryan. I intend to help stop this and not go like he did.
The father is an idiot and was the main cause of his child's death. Now this negligent man seeks to place the blame on other children instead of revealing the true reason why this happened. This man also gets paid for every school he speaks at. So what are we promoting here: Children are now made to be the scapegoat for poor parenting skills all while the piss poor parent profits from instilling the lie of "anti-bullying" to them. Bullshit at its finest.
@TheKittiesKilll That isnt true! He tried to help ryan very much. He just didnt realise it was that extreme. He knew he was being picked, but not as much as it really was. Besides he talked at those schools to teach people consequences of bullying. That comment you just made proves youre just asbad as the bullies!!!!
@The0megaStorm Putting a computer in a small child's room unsupervised is negligent, stupid, and just plain bad parenting, but Mr. Halligan, a grown man, wants to place the blame on children. (he openly admits this) He also doesn't say that he had Ryan drugged up. That's his fault as well. It has nothing to do with stopping bullying. Bullying is just a scapegoat for a bigger issue.
It would seem that anti-bully supporters call everyone a bully who doesn't agree with them. Typical.
@TheKittiesKilll You've got nerve saying that, you douchebag. Mr Halligan is not trying to place the blame on children. He admits he made a mistake, and is telling the children not to follow in the bullys or Ryans footsteps. I am not calling people who disagreee with my views a bully, I'm just saying that you are being an insensitive idiot, who thinks that anyone disagreeing with you is stupid.
Bullying must stop. People like ryan feel so much pain and the bullies enjoy it. Like I said before, if there is anyone reading this who bullied ryan or someone else, you are heartless scum, who should be thrown out alone for what you have done. Towards ryans bullies, you deserve to suffer as much as possible for what you have done. I will not take this back.
You are so strong, it takes courage to spead the word, kids can be cruel, this is so sad <3 drop by my channel and please let me know what you think of my new song STRONGER, same topic, I want people to be empowered to not let anyone take them down ... everyone is worthy, they just need to feel it!
I don't know ryan. But as I watched this I cried. I stopped watching as they brought up that terrible website but I'm so afraid of what I and others are capable of doing to themselves after watching this.
I'm truly sorry everyone for my outburst. I've heard about Ryan like 2yrs ago and my heart cried then. It was wrong for me to fight fire with fire. This crazy world is filled with good and evil, and none of us can do anything about it. So instead of fighting fire with fire, I will fight fire with WATER. I'm sorry CynicalCyanide666. I don't agree with your comment, but I didn't have to be a bitch about it either. My condolences for Ryan and his loved ones. R.I.P Ryan. You're #1!
@CynicalCyanide666 wow you're such a BITCH! How can u say that about this cutie pie? Maybe it's because he didn't want you....turned you down for your weight problem, or your funky musty nigger smell. Cause black, white, purple, orange whatever you are a Nigger in the worst way! I'm Black and I can see that in you. You're the reason why this world is a shitty place. Go keep lifting that left leg up to pee while the rest of us decent people try to make this world a better place you stupid bitch!

His dad came to my school and i think it really helped the bullies in my school that they shouldnt bully people because it really hurts and and makes peple want tokill themselves his story should be shared at every school then maybe bullies would knock it off and just leave people alone everyones different!!!
I cried so hard when ryans father came to my school, I wanted to die until his father told the story and I noticed how much he is missed that regardless how the relationship is with a parent or friend they'll miss you when you do it.
this is so upsetting, i really hate situations like this :( bullies should be stopped its not cool, its not fun its painful :( we'll all remember ryan
This breaks my heart. I cant & couldnt imagine what Ryan was going through, he was such a cutie. I really wish someone else or more could have helped him with the sitiuation. Gosh, it breaks my heart so much. </3 i cannot stop crying. Ryan i know i didnt know you, but i love you <3. You seem like a great kid. I would love for his dad to come to my school & speak, i was bullied. & god helped me through it. Ryan you rest in peace, i love you & miss you even though i never met you<3.
John Halligan came to my school today and told his son story and it was really moving it also shows that bullying is the most stupid ever...whoever bullies clearly has no life
he came to my school... im with @EmmaElmo123 (lol love how i found you here by accident) but i cried soo much and i really hate that website and the kids who said its finally time you killed your self and im mad he responded you'll here about it in the papers... R.I.P. RYAN I LOVE YOU AND YOUR SOO INSPIRING!!!!!
He came to my school today... I cried. It was such a moving story... I've been against bullying for as long as I can remember, but thanks to Mr. Halligan, I'm more determined to stop bullying. Ryan's story really touched my heart.
8 years before today, October 7 2003, Ryan Halligan killed himself. People will remember this sad day as a start to when schools began taking bullying seriously. Today we had a school assembly going over the new bullying law. If any one in school feels harassed, intimidated or bullied in any way, he or she must report it to the guidance counselor. Together we can help end bullying for good.
Mr. Halligan came to my school today, it was an absolutely wonderful assembly and i'm very glad to have gotten to hear the story and be apart of it. - Salem High School, NH.
Ryan's father came to my school today. I already knew about Ryan's story, but John coming to my school has affected me so much, and I hope that it affects the minds of at least SOME of the bullies.
That so so sad I wish It never happien to him or anyone I wish that. Ryan was still a live I'd like to be friends with him he's a good looking young man and he look like he had a good persinality to If I was on the web with him at that time I'd try to make him feel better and tell them bullies to leave him a lone that's so worng to bullie someone cuz they have a learning dissabilty I really wish he was still alive today he look like such a kind boy ryan u are loved by many
Ohh Ryaan...U were Soooo Cuteee !!!! ... If u were Alive...I WISH !! ... U would b mine :/ R.I.P... That Bullies of Shit...i hOPE u aRE wORRIED BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT U MADE !!!!! Aghhhhhh... LOVE YA RYAN YOU NOW LIVE IN MY HEART !!!
yeah because the bullies (more like trolls) really came out of his screen and lynched him. the fact that his parents didn't watched what an obviously troubled kid did on the internet due to shitty parenting doesn't count.
no seriously, the father told him to beat the bullies up. that isn't good advice.
If you know your child is being bullied in school get your child OUT of that situation and have him home schooled or possibly have them live with a family member or friend who is in a different school district so they can start anew. Your child's life is to sacred and it won't get better when they are in that situation because bullies are assholes who think they have to bully the weak to stay popular.
Ryan was an attractive young man usually the attractive crowd isn't the target of bullying so I figured he must of had a learning disability. And bingo, doing research he did. It's interesting in what determines who is accepted in the in crowd and who is tossed to the side in middle school where kids are first starting to figure out who they are. I was in the exact situation as Ryan when I was his age. But I knew I wasn't gay so the bullying didn't bother me and my belief in Jesus kept me going.
After ryans death the bully still sed stuff about ryan den ryans dad went to his house and the bully lied to him saying they wr friends thn he sed the truth n started crying
Who really annoyed me was the guy who talked him into committing suicide , when I heard that part I got so angry and sad , especially when I saw the website , what kind of sick person makes a website about that ?!
Im tearing up and tat girl is a bitch who has notin better 2 do but 2 mak peps life misirable cause she is havin a tough time in life so shes takin it out on people well u happy now some1 died cause pf u hope u burn in hell fagget and all ur friends r just tere cause ur popular but tey dont even lik u 4 who u r
@bieber13154 dude ur being a cyber bully to the girl who wat cyber bullying what we really need to do tell kids to talk to someone and not to let things people say on the internet hurt them. We must brake this chain of hatred by excepting peoples differences and by using gods gift of marijuana. TELL THE KIDS THE TRUTH. TELL THEM ABOUT MARTIN LUTHER KING AND MALCOM X AND BOB MARLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bye my best friend ill never forget you , ill never let go of all the stuff you gave me , i still have your friendship necklace you gave me , i miss you ryan :'( why did you leave me
My cousin's 21 year old daughter was getting threatening e-mail. She didn't know where it was coming from. Law enforcement was called. And they said that there was nothing they could do since she had not been physically harmed. And I don't buy it.
This is why parents should ALWAYS monitor internet activities of children everyday. I'm so sorry for this family and what they have to go thru the rest of their lives. Bullying is REAL and the sooner we open our eyes to educating kids in our schools, we have a good chance of preventing another child from doing the unthinkable.
I am so sorry to hear about your son. Children are so vicious and delicate. I praise the family for sharing their story. It will make a difference in the life of others.
@13Elementguy The definition of karma is how your actions affect the outcome of your future. Mr.Halligan said Ashley felt a lot of pain and guilt. Anyway we shouldn't interfere with this. If we go on her facebook and be mean to her, that makes us just as bad as the bullies. The point of Mr. Halligan's speech was not to have revenge, but to try and prevent bullying any time we see it. I know you feel sad and angry for what happened to Ryan, but we need to learn to forgive
@XxUltraOpsxX Don't worry you can still ask them in fact I took the liberty of finding the bully girls facebook.
SO ALL OF YOU THAT WISH TO SAY SOMETHING TO THIS HEARTLESS GIRL. Go on to my profile and copy and paste the link then feel free to say whatever you would like to her.
That's so sad. If I were his parents I would do whatever it took to find the boy and his family who helped Ryan commit suicide and convict them of some type of crime. How evil those people are just not responding to their call after they killed their son. It must take some serious self control from Ryan's parents.
Welcome to our society. You will be judged on what you wear, which music you listen to, what you look like, how you act, who you hang around with, and on practically every other personal trait and imperfection about you, and you'll be made fun of for being who you are.
Bullcrap. This shouldn't be happening. When are people going to realize that, despite all our differences, we're still part of a human race?
Unfortunately, it'll probably never happen. People are too busy and hesitant to try and stop this crap. This pains me to say this, but bullying is never going to stop. There is just too much ignorance in the world. And because of it, great people like Ryan, Phoebe, etc. aren't with us anymore. RIP Ryan.
all bullies should be prosecuted. laws should be made up to prosecute them, jail terms, fines, community service etc. bullies get away with everything and innocent people lose their lives. i fucking hate bullies.
Wow that is touching. I know I would never kill myself cause of it but I know why someone would. How would you get the courage to do it. I wonder. Like someone is that motivated to do the. Must be really bad.
Its bad enough that Ryan's dad had to go through all of that......I respect him so much right now for being this brave to talk about this is a calm and mature way. Not only in this video, but all over the country to groups of students so that nothing like this ever happens again. The sad truth is, it will happen again....bullying will never stop.....but it needs to....there's nothing good in it......RIP Ryan.....you will be missed and although I never knew you, you're in my thoughts...
Mr Halligan came to our school to talk about Ryan... the speech is a very powerful for the teachers and even the students I hope we all are inspired by this story of Ryan's sucide
instead of talking to kids about being bullied...you should take your stupid ass and talk to PARENTS about your failure as a father and that they should raise their children instead of letting computers, video games and other children do it! There is the fucking secret to all of this....RAISE YOUR OWN FUCKING CHILDREN!!!
Who ever this girl is she should freaking be ashamed BEYOTCH ryans dad came to my school and i dropped out crying a river. People are so stupid. And people think they can get throught things without anything happening.... STUPID
My anger is because I have to hide from society when I'm right in the middle of it. You ppl don't understand what it's like to be a gay teen in a small town, I can't even tell my parents . I wear girl's panties and shave my legs so I can try and feel like my true self, a female.
I'm angry at you , me , parents, everyone. Why can't I be stronger ? kids come out all the time. I'm just too afraid of what might happen. That's why I have no friends, ppl say I whine like an old lady, WELL DUH !

He came to my school today... I cried. It was such a moving story... I've been against bullying for as long as I can remember, but thanks to Mr. Halligan, I'm more determined to stop bullying. Ryan's story really touched my heart.

8 years before today, October 7 2003, Ryan Halligan killed himself. People will remember this sad day as a start to when schools began taking bullying seriously. Today we had a school assembly going over the new bullying law. If any one in school feels harassed, intimidated or bullied in any way, he or she must report it to the guidance counselor. Together we can help end bullying for good.

yeah because the bullies (more like trolls) really came out of his screen and lynched him. the fact that his parents didn't watched what an obviously troubled kid did on the internet due to shitty parenting doesn't count.
no seriously, the father told him to beat the bullies up. that isn't good advice.

If you know your child is being bullied in school get your child OUT of that situation and have him home schooled or possibly have them live with a family member or friend who is in a different school district so they can start anew. Your child's life is to sacred and it won't get better when they are in that situation because bullies are assholes who think they have to bully the weak to stay popular.

Ryan was an attractive young man usually the attractive crowd isn't the target of bullying so I figured he must of had a learning disability. And bingo, doing research he did. It's interesting in what determines who is accepted in the in crowd and who is tossed to the side in middle school where kids are first starting to figure out who they are. I was in the exact situation as Ryan when I was his age. But I knew I wasn't gay so the bullying didn't bother me and my belief in Jesus kept me going.

My cousin's 21 year old daughter was getting threatening e-mail. She didn't know where it was coming from. Law enforcement was called. And they said that there was nothing they could do since she had not been physically harmed. And I don't buy it.

This is why parents should ALWAYS monitor internet activities of children everyday. I'm so sorry for this family and what they have to go thru the rest of their lives. Bullying is REAL and the sooner we open our eyes to educating kids in our schools, we have a good chance of preventing another child from doing the unthinkable.

@13Elementguy The definition of karma is how your actions affect the outcome of your future. Mr.Halligan said Ashley felt a lot of pain and guilt. Anyway we shouldn't interfere with this. If we go on her facebook and be mean to her, that makes us just as bad as the bullies. The point of Mr. Halligan's speech was not to have revenge, but to try and prevent bullying any time we see it. I know you feel sad and angry for what happened to Ryan, but we need to learn to forgive

That's so sad. If I were his parents I would do whatever it took to find the boy and his family who helped Ryan commit suicide and convict them of some type of crime. How evil those people are just not responding to their call after they killed their son. It must take some serious self control from Ryan's parents.

Welcome to our society. You will be judged on what you wear, which music you listen to, what you look like, how you act, who you hang around with, and on practically every other personal trait and imperfection about you, and you'll be made fun of for being who you are.
Bullcrap. This shouldn't be happening. When are people going to realize that, despite all our differences, we're still part of a human race?

Unfortunately, it'll probably never happen. People are too busy and hesitant to try and stop this crap. This pains me to say this, but bullying is never going to stop. There is just too much ignorance in the world. And because of it, great people like Ryan, Phoebe, etc. aren't with us anymore. RIP Ryan.

Not only in this video, but all over the country to groups of students so that nothing like this ever happens again. The sad truth is, it will happen again....bullying will never stop.....but it needs to....there's nothing good in it......RIP Ryan.....you will be missed and although I never knew you, you're in my thoughts...
