Another Bullying Story.

 Just heard of another young boy taking his life because of bullying.   Jaheem Herrera, an 11-year old boy from Georgia hung himself after taunting and bullying from classmates.   He was repeatedly called “gay” and a “snitch”   What we are doing to boys today makes me really sad.  Bullying is another way to keep boys in the stereotypic “boy” box…where they have to be tough, strong, and agressive.  Why are people so afraid to let boys show their feelings?  How many more kids will die before we learn we need to raise our sons differently?
