The article should be titled Dan is a love because he is. Bullying really is a horrible problem everywhere. It's depressing to think that it can lead someone to decide to harm themselves. The people being bullied need to realize that there is help out there for them, and the bullies too, because they're just frightened or misinformed people who should look to getting help for themselves as well.
I pity the bullies as much as the kids being bullied because they're just heartbroken people destroying themselves by hurting others.
It would probably do well for everyone to truly learn that, "if you can't say something nice you shouldn't say anything" because even silly, joking throw away remarks can be seriously harmful. I can't stand how people say things like 'that's so gay' or 'don't be a girl' like disparaging any group for any reason is empowering, in the end it weakens us.
