jamey was a fourteen year old boy that lived in williamsville , NY jamey struggled like most people , but his struggle was due to his sexuality he was unsure for sometime , but when jamey got to his freshmen year in high school jamey figured out he was gay and people made fun of him for it he got bullied for quite some time and he talked to a councelor and jamey also had some friends that he could trust and they helped him jamey made a video called "IT GETS BETTER" ,because he felt like it was getting better because he had friends by his side to support him but it didnt last long jamey continued to get bullied by kids at his school he came home with bruises from kids at school jameys parents would get so mad at him they did not undertsand why he wouldnt tell the workers at his school , but eventually they found out that jamey had aspergers a diasese that prevents you from verbally explaining what is happening this kept going and no one stopped it not jamey not his parents not his close friends no one i got some input from my friends and they did not think this was ok tytiana J. said bullying is done for self enjoyment from self inflected pain and i strongly agree with this other kids want to cause people pain, because they are in pain from something else and thats the only way they are satisfied i also got a quote from another classmate her name is milagro H. and she said words do hurt this is true and has a deeper meaning than just words do hurt because this young man took his like away he had so many possibilities in his future but a some words messed it up i talked to my parents and told them about this project and they both agreed that this shouldve been stopped sooner if both of jammeys parents knew they shouldve stopped it before it escalated to this point and they agreed with this quote that courage is a fire bullying is a smoke, because when people get bullied not most kids want to tell the teacher because of what others are going to say, but little do they know thats courage that they gain and they might just be saving a life.
