I remember reading this when it was first on Equestria Daily. Some people just cant seem to accept the fact that not everyone is the same, or enjoys the same things.

I just don't know what's sadder. The fact that an 11 year old boy had to attempt to take his own life because he was being ridiculed for the something he enjoyed, or the fact other children found it so wrong or weird that they had to bully him day after day and literally destroy this boys life.

This isn't the first time the fandom has raised money for a child in need, and I'm sure it wont be the last.

I sincerely hope he recovers, the kids who pushed him to this point are punished in some way, and one day, maybe he can go back to living a normal life.

its a sad world we are living in these days

thats just disgusting, Bastards

Crazy world we live in nowadays.

When I was 11, I never heard someone teasing someone else over a t.v show.

I Feel Ya There Bud ;( Such A Sad, Cruel World We Live In These Days Huh

I hope that after what has happened to him, he doesn't get bullied again. For liking MLP and for attempting suicide(bullies will use that.) I get some people don't like Bronies or anyone who watches MLP but then again he's 11, to me it doesn't matter what age someone is and watches or likes something, but as I said, he's 11, he shouldn't have that worry about being judged and bullied for liking something so harmless. I truly do find it pathetic when people bully people over something they like, more so when it's to the point where someone actually attempts or ends up killing themselves over it. I hope he recovers fully and doesn't have to go through this again at anytime, whether it be for liking the show or something else he likes. I'm glad the Bronies are raising money for him and when I get my money Saturday, I'm definitely going to donate some to that.

He wasn't bullied for being a brony. He wasn't even bullied.

He did this because of a fight with a family member, and his parents are using it as leverage to gain money.

I am curious, i apologize in advance for this may come out as a sickining thought, but with what did he hang himself with? at age 11, i barely could tie my shoe. Off topic of my statement, I hope he has a full recovery

Eh, it doesn't seem too far fetched, but I'd need some proof before I believe that.
I don't of know too many kids who have hanged themselves over a fight with a family member.

No idea, unfortunately.
I know how I would do it, assuming it's a standard bunk, but I don't think it's really an appropriate thing to talk about on here.

That's is just wrong. I hope the bullies go behind bars for this. Honestly you shouldn't care what others like to watch.
