News Update: California School Bullied Seth Walsh Passes Following Suicide Attempt

[sarahluvr1]

Pushing him to his death is not a crime? Exactly, then what is a crime? It's sick.

Rest in sweet peace Seth ... -3

[vaughanh7]

So pushing a person to death is not seen as a crime? Then what the hell is seen as a crime? This is sick. Seth will be there, up in heaven because all he was was himself. It's the bullies who will rot in hell forever.

[WetflameTheWaffle]

Alright seriously, NOBODY but a child knows what goes on in school and only the child cares. At my school you could even pull a gun on another kid, and no one gives a shit. Many people are against bullying, but how many do something about it?

[adampowney1992]

For all the people who are leaving nasty comment cause that kid was gay I would love to see the look on some of your faces when ur kids come up to you and tell ya their gay cause it will happen to some of ya!!!!

[abcjohnlock1993]

i gotta agree with the out come. it was horrible that he took his own life. but he was the one who tied that rope, he took hs own life. as bad as it might have been. it gets better.

[FluffyPotatoe]

Oh MY FOSH! >:o What the hell is going on with the world????? UGH I FEEL LIKE UGHH KILLING THAT PERSON! Well not literally its jsut UGHHH I hate bullies!

[cit2ppdradio]

@FluffyPotatoe IVE BEEN GETTIN BULLIED CUZ MY X BOYFRIEND SHOWED EVERYONE A PIC OF ME WITH A FACIAL HE GAVE ME..I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE..

[EristonHorror]

She, for one said Tehachapi wrong and two, jacobson middleschoool wasa joke. This was beyond sad, Kids need to grow the eff up

[NajaTiibergh]

If you are against bullying so hit like my comment!

[AlinaaNatasha]

I don't know him what so ever but I've been through bulling it hurts..

He was only 13 and he didn't even get to experience high school, collage, and work..

It's really fucked up his mom is now left in pain saw her own child hung on a tree that makes me cry thinking about it..

Love is love~

everyone deserves to be loved somehow some way..

now he is gone .. we can't do anything but we have videos to remember his beautiful face.

Let's hope the world is more accepting about gays in the future

[PandaPieWilliams]

after watching this update, i got more disgusted because these people are not being charged

[SNSD0113]

bullshit. those kids caused his death and none of them get in trouble that is bull.

[xoxspicygurlxox]

It's the same thing in my old school that I dropped out of. They don't do nothing to help kids who are outcasts or have issues. This is why or society is so fucked up.

[jigglyfidda125]

homophobes should get lynched

[Bayleebob7]

poor seth... i miss him :(

[butface4589]

Pease dont say tehachapi untell you can say tehachapi sarry but it just botherd me

[TheCrwilliams]

That kid should of stand up for the bully. No excuse to kill yourself. They don't need to pass any law or do any change because of it. People get picked on all the freakn time. I got bullied all the time when I was a kid. But it did not make me think of suicide.

[424every424]

@TheCrwilliams you have no idea what happened to him we were great friends these kids were 16 years old

against some kid that weighed maybe 100 pounds so shut your mouth

[vannyazn]

@TheCrwilliams you shouldn't compare youself to the kid the kill himself. everyone is different . some can take torment better then other. rather then saying its no excuse to kill yourself how about you just try understanding that bullying can cause some kids to kill themselves.

[megahater911]

tehchapi at 0:07 its tehachapi like tehachape

[rolandnguyen95]

RIP Seth

[xGunshatx]

the kid who bullied him there going to be on the streets begging for money and food when there grown up

[reedcostume]

It's A CRIME!

[Romanianloop]

Bullying should be a crime. It's sad that just last week a teenager at my sister's school jumped off a bridge. He wasn't even gay the bullies just got bored and picked on him he said that he would commit suicide and they supported it until he did.

[MrOddyesrules342]

there should be an anti homo phobia at every school

[GrrrFierce]

Seriously? Not a crime? BS. Those kids should have served time, and been expelled. Bullying should SOOOO be considered a crime. It's pretty much murder. This world needs to learn what the word nice means. What respect means. It shouldn't matter if someone is gay, has autism, or is just quirky. What matters is that they need to be themselves. R.I.P Seth. I'm sorry jerks don't know how hurtful things can be.

[joshhmarryme]

she is a very distracting and annoying reporter.

[thesecretdaydream]

I see a lot of comments but taking action is what is needed. I live in Tehachapi, I wrote a book last year that I am now going to make sure gets published because of Seth Walsh. It is called Words Hit Hard as a Fist With 18 Tips on How to Stop being Bullied. We are all different ,and at the same time alike. Its not the differences we should look for but the commonalities that make us human. Balboa Press will be publishing my book, look for it. Hope it will help!

[MrM16A41]

i love how most people freek out over stuff like this Keep in mind PEOPLE DIE EVERY DAY

[MusicEclecticArt]

@MrM16A41 Very true my friend. People infact do die everyday. But people DONT do everyday because they are being bullied over being gay. The sad thing is that ANY youth would feel like they had to kill themselves over being bullied. Put yourself int he shoes of this young mans family and friends. Im sure youve had someone close to you pass away. Just because people die everyday doesnt make it easire to deal with. Think about it.

[KINGBOO55]

its funny because people who make fun of gay people are gay themselves

[MusicEclecticArt]

@KINGBOO55 I get why you may think that way because there are plenty of gay people who bully other people because of them being gay, but that isnt trye for many bullies. We are taught to hate and dispise GLBT people from when we are children.

[BriannaHauck]

I miss seth</3

[01HM01]

This is terrible!

I may not be gay but, I have best friends that are gay/bi whatever and they are the nicest people you will ever meet and they are good friends that will always have your back.

Making fun of someone because of their orientation is so WRONG!

Gahh! it infuriates me inside! >3<;;

[CandyKissesBabby]

This kills me ..

[MrM16A41]

@PicturelessStories did i say it was ok dumbass y dont you shut your hole before i park my foot in it

[chardy2024]

the earth is old but people is IGNORANT and SHAMELESS!

[TheSanityInspector]

Being young and immature should not be criminalized. If anyone should be held accountable it's the school, since they had the anti-bullying program that they apparently did not follow.

[MrM16A41]

trust me guys i knew this kid he was very weird not because he was gay

[PicturelessStories]

@MrM16A41

Oh. So that makes bullying him to the point of suicide okay?? Think about things before you say them.

[silent15751]

I really wish that people would consider that only because your gay doesn't make you different and they should learn to shut the f**k up they just don't consider the people feelings at all

hmm..

what has this world come to..?

[IYAMNI]

How about publicly shaming the abusers, posting their names and faces online so we can all see what kind of scumbag cowards pick on a weaker boy. Would that be a crime?

I'd say sue the crap out of the school. but that would just hurt the other students.

[FindingGreatness]

How many more people...KIDS have to die before people take notice that this is not okay???

[BackAtOne1300]

we need to take action now and do something about it cuz if we don't we will lose more people ecspecially at the fucking age of 13

[stfuBUDDY]

he killed himself cus jake told judy that he sucked his own dick

[samoa206]

My nephew tried to hang himself because of bullying...HE almost lost his life that day, but thank GOD he didn't. Its very important that we all need to understand the seriousness of bullying. Please if you do see someone being picked on, stand up for them...you never know, you might just save their life!

GOD bless these kids!

[ThePAINPILL]

at my friend Jonah in the memorial and said that the news team made me mad and the older gentleman next to him said the same. Seth was my friend before i knew he was gay and after, i didn't care if he was I excepted him the way he was. I think if your going to hate gays you might as well have a white hood on and might as well hate blacks and so on. My regrets are that I didnt get to spend enough time with him and didn't ask him if he wanted help or needed problems solved, WE LOVE YOU SETH

[K9mauser]

@ThePAINPILL I really wish I knew someone like Seth. From everything I've read and heard about Seth, he sounded like like a fantastic kid and I am very sorry for your loss. We have him in our hearts over here in Minnesota. R.I.P Seth. :(

[silent15751]

@K9mauser i agree he sounded so nice i wish i knew him

may he rest in peace

[ThePAINPILL]

Seth was a personal friend of mine since kindergarten and i cried when he died. It was a wrongful death that will not go unpunished, the people that teased him will pay. Seth was a awesome person nice, caring, sharing, and never mean. I will never forget the day i found out he died, i couldn't believe it. Me and other friends went to Seth's memorial, we were all sad, i cried, others like the girl they interviewed acted as if it were a meeting for fun, that sickened me, looked over to my side

[TheNOODLES661]

The Lady said Tehachapi wrong

[EvBr138]

@TheNOODLES661 i Know right

\

[glsgreg]

@cotten534

Your talking about a 13 yr old boy.

Guess he hadn't mastered the world yet like you.

[chicobokrisp]

R.I.P. Seth, it breaks my heart to hear that your young life was cut so short.

[mrhillp]

Please don't say teachers should be "ashamed" with such reckless abandon, it is also a parents responsibility to teach values and morals to their children. It would seem some bullies are an extension of the individuals that raise them at home. Now this poor child has lost his life do to such a factor. Peace to all

[staceydantek]

Im so sorry for this sweet boy

[07StarQueen]

Never forgive never forget never again.

God's rest, Seth. I'm so very sorry this happened.

[Misaramirez]

i grew up in tehachapi, and this is terrible!! his death should be remembered for now and forever! bullying has to stop, or have better programs to help kids who are bullied.

[generationx1254]

Those bullies, teachers and faculty members should be ashamed of themselves

[DarkQuietWyattON]

@generationx1254 They should be more than that if they looked the other way. They should be criminally prosecuted.

[JVILLASENOR69]

wow tehachapi is really close to were i live.. and we played them in spots.. and them kidd are really rude... most of them

[DarkQuietWyattON]

I don't even have the words to express the sadness I feel over this and I don't go to his school. I don't live in his town. i don't know him. I do think I know the sadness he was feeling.

I hope his memory is for blessing and that he finally rests in peace.

[BabYgOoNx3]

i miss him </3

[yomamapbj]

@colton534 You're also from Tehachapi. Your parents should have taught you guys how to respect others. Karma will get you too.

[luvergirl1798]

i feel so bad too bad he was gay he was hot RIP Seth Walsh so what he was gay so what that gives u no right to treat him the way they did NO F****** RIGHT SETH WILL BE MISSED

[yomamapbj]

@twelvepack88 You're from Tehachapi. You either are on of the bullies or know one of the bullies. Karma!

[racemaker06]

Heartbreaking. :O( Looks like the educators need to be educated along with the bullies and the parents of the bullies. What a tragedy!!! RIP Seth - no more sadness.

[younguy1979]

omg, this is beyond horrible. 13 YEARS OLD! how could these kids be so cruel just because he's different? wow....the teachers and faculty there should be punished

[yubelproject]

@younguy1979 oh don't worry it was the same here when i was 13 (3 years ago) 1/20 of the teacher actually care enough to ask you if your getting bullied and will do something about it. she was my savior i swear, if not for her you would have been seeing this story 3 years earlier.

[religayt]

@yubelproject sorry to hear about your struggles with bulling.. hand in there kiddo it will work it's self out. I can't say things come out the way we expect every time but it will work out if you hand in there..

[andyelde]

I wonder when will society learn the word RESPECT

[DarkQuietWyattON]

@andyelde I doubt they ever will. Bullying is becomming more and more common. Until we hold parents responsible for thier bulling children and hold those children responsible for thier behavior and MOST importantanly, hold the educators criminally responsible for allowing this to happen, it won't change. It is sad when this happens and sadder still that some people don't get it.

Put a few people in jail and this bullying will start to lessen

[andyelde]

@DarkQuietWyattON I think schools must consider this as something really important and that something needs to be done about this whole terrible thing. They are the ones who must take responsibility and start taking the right actions for the bullies and make them have their deserved punishment. No doubts about it.

[Insaneymaney2]

@andyelde: I believe it's the parents faults...their kids will most likely pick up habits from them...my family can be so judgmental n i hate it cuz sumtimes i am too... D:<

[andyelde]

@Insaneymaney2 I don't care who is the main fault of this...this is tragic, the whole society is responsible to understand how terrible this is and do something for a change.

[TheCrwilliams]

@andyelde Yeah, change it to were let them kids fight.

[colton534]

its no ones fault sorry the kid couldnt take a few hard words. lets all remember that he killed him self everyone is acting as if he was murdered or something!!! thats stupid to think it was some one else's fault!! reality thats part of life if everyone killed them selves just because they could't take a few hard words maybe they where better of just ending it cuz they wouldn't have made it much further in life anyways.

[splattergirl72]

Bullying SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A CRIME.Maybe if some of those little assholes actually had to face up to the result of their actions,they would think twice about tormenting others.People whorefuse to teach their children to behave like empathetic human beings should not be allowed to breed.

[totakeke]

@splattergirl72 amen

[slicer1181]

@splattergirl72 it is a crime but then you gotta prove that it happens

[LOLforLIFE123]

@splattergirl72 I agree completely that bullying should be considered a crime. Verbal harassment, and often leading to suicide. So it's like indirect murder....

[JoK3rLuVr1]

Twelve...you are ignorant! The cord might have been pulled but only because he was gone. The machine was breathing for him but wasn't doing any good. He was gay and? Sure life is hard no doubt about that but he was 13. A 13 year old shouldn't have to die because parents can't teach their children to be accepting of all types of people. It's like people bullying because of skin color or ethnicity. The school had an anti bullying program; they saw this coming and did nothing about it, they just

[WarionexSabisaka]

My condolences, Can’t still believe that this continue to happened. Teasing is a philological threat and can affect the person stability, but what in reality happened when beyond that; it was an act of harassment and includes sexual harassment. I don’t like how the authorities and the media use the word teasing to minimize this action. There should be and Act that stop this like The We Are HUMAN Act, which will force authorities and school to take an action and help the victims.

[ace0fmades]

We all loved you Seth even those of us that did t know u, I hope you billboard feel terrible for basically killing a kid, this is a lesson to all of us teens. Stop the bullying, I am stoping, stay strong guys, there will be a memorial on Friday at the first baptist church in tehachapi California, stay strong, and yes he died naturally, my friend sat with him in the hospital all day, I know almost everything, that means I even know who Bullied him and u should be ashamed!!!

[rockineribear]

I hope those boys feel guilty for what they put him through.

[chipmunksarebeautifu]

@twelvepack88 He didnt die beause they pulled the cord!!!!! He died naturally... his body got tired.

[twelvepack88]

there was no crime committed. teasing is not a crime you morons. he died because the life support was pulled. stand up for your selves. life is hard suck it up.

[awagamgnalaw]

@twelvepack88 oh god you are an idiot.
