Asher Brown, a 13-year-old eighth grader at Hamilton Middle School outside Houston, shot himself in the head last week after being "bullied to death." Anderson Cooper talks to Asher's mother & stepfather, David & Amy Truong.
David is my cousin..... only few years older then me, me being 17. I really miss Asher...... he really is a good kid and loves everybody, helping everybody.
David said, "One Christmas, he really wanted Rock Band, and we did get it for him, but when he opened it. Asher said, no dad, I don't want this, please take this and give it to someone who doesn't have anything"
One of the sweetest and coolest guy I ever knew. Its a shame.... =(
He lives on in a school rule, and in memory of two songs....
I knew him, my dad and his dad worked together and were good friends. I can promise you all, Asher was probably one of the sweetest and most intelligent boys I have ever met in my ENTIRE life. Thinking that such a sweet and innocent boy killed himself, just kills me inside. I still cry about it. R.I.P. Asher, we miss you <3
I wonder what was so wrong that made it right for him to get bullied that way? I mean, he was 13, he was still a child. what child gets bullied to the point that he has to take his own life?! it tears me up inside how such things occur and the people reponsible get to walk free
So sad! I pray for peace for his family! My son was bullied in junior high, so sad that kids can be so cruel. Schools and parents need to educate kids that bullying is very wrong!
R.I.P Asher Brown I only met you once but you were a great step cousin I hope you live in peace up there in heaven

His parents went to our school and talked to us yesterday. We gave them 400.75 cents.
R.I.P Asher Brown.
No parent should go through this.
Bullying is something that should never exist.
