  • I saw her when I was leaving

    my orthodontist appointment and I just had to say something. Such a brave woman. RIP Carl

  • So brave. What a great woman and mother.

  • Ms Walker is correct - bullying is NOT ordinary social interaction. Parents and teachers need to work together to create a safe environment in which children can thrive, not live in fear.

  • Being Gay myself and going through this same bull$#@! myself back in my school days, I agree that this need to STOP NOW!!!!!!! The Teachers and even my parents did the same thing she is talking about. I would goto Principals, teachers, and even my folks and nothing was ever really done except told"Ooh you need to learn how to stick up for yourself". Me being taught that suicide means you will go to Hell is what stoped any thoughts of suicide. I am happy now but not every ends up like this :(

  • there needs to be awareness on bullying, and it has got to stop. what are we doing raising oppressors in our schools? god bless her shes one strong mother and i hope that she changes things.

  • Good luck darling I hope this changes things!

  • God bless her <3

  • It must have taken some courage to tell that heartbreaking story in front of a congressional panel. Unfortunately, the school system does not seem to have the right tools to deal with bullying, since it is still a significant problem. We work with children to help them develop the bully safety techniques, self-confidence, and self-esteem they need to deal with bullying. I highly recommend martial arts classes for anyone struggling with bullying, whether a child or an adult.

  • i couldnt do my work in class since i was bullied teachers washed there hands of me i was always quiet i told the therepist im not taking the pill im hurting myself at night he didnt listsen when i felt lost i toock long walks in the middle of the night i could still here them taunting me at night i stuck it out and found out the hard way im suppose to love me first

  • The same thing happened to me, but I managed to not end up like Carl. I cry every time I watch this video. Please help stop school bullying.
