I was going to delete those comments, but instead I will leave them up so people can see the kind of person you are.
 
You’re completely failing to see the difference between being a depressed victim of bullying who just wants it to stop and being a homicidal vigilante who wants to take violent revenge on those who’ve wronged you.

@Background Pony #CA5C  
Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t know smashing a guy’s face against a desk because I went berserk after 5 and a half year of being made fun and pushed around for my weight didn’t count as getting bullied nor fighting back.  
Also, I’m on the kid’s side. No one should hve to endure being bullied until the point of suicide. I don’t care what they did, what they look like or what they like, nobody deserves that.

No offence but insulting a kid for attempting to take his own life really makes you look like a duck.
 
I seriously doubt that any of you have been seriously bullied or mobbed in your lives. I have had people attack me at work and come over to my house in the night and vandalise it. People scream abuse at me on the street and even threaten and spit on me.
 
When you are treated to that kind of abuse, the thought of taking your own life becomes very tempting.
 
You are probably thinking, why didn’t you fight back. As a general rule, people only start fights when they know that there is a near 100% chance that they will win, for example they would often attack me at work because they know I needed my job so I would not fight back or they would attack me in a group of about four or five people and I was by myself. not to mention the whole question just stinks of the ‘you didn’t fight back so you deserve to be bullied’ kind of toxic thinking, try applying that logic to any crime that is committed.
 
In conclusion, you should be focusing your contempt and anger on the bullies themselves not the victim because he didn’t do anything wrong.

@BigMax  
This.

@Jackarunda  
I’m having a hard time restraining myself to cover you with a truckload of heavy insults.
 
Apparently you’ve never been the target of bullies, the target of infinite jokes, insults, mocking, belittling, questioning about your sexuality and so on. Congrats. I’m happy for you. But this kid has been, so what? Maybe he even tried to react, only to get beaten hard because, you know, bullies are so brave that take only lone targets, and this boy doesn’t even look like a giant.  
“Stab them, shoot them”, what the fuck are you talking about?! Do you even know what it takes to kill someone? For a 11 years old, too?
 
You absolutely have no right to judge him, because you have no idea of his life, so do a favor to the world and shut the fuck up if you’re a man with some decency.
 
Oh, by the way, I’m a 112 kg rugby player who’s always beaten the shit up of any sore loser who tried to harass me, so I kind of know strong manners.

@MetalBrony  
I like to believe I do. I know a kid won’t think “I have to beat the bullies up, or if I can’t do that, stab them or shoot them.”, I know that a kid will think that making the bullies stop saying that he’s gay is not going to convince him that they don’t think that, and most importntly I know that a kid probably doesn’t have much of an idea of mortality and probably thinks “If I go away, all the bad things will go away.”  
Yeah, I think I have some idea in the subject.

I like how no one here has an understanding of how kids’ minds work at this age/how to react to suicide. It’s funny, really.

@Jackarunda  
This.

I also forgot to mention: he even failed to kill himself. Which means he’s either Super Pussy Deluxe² or he’s incompetent. Not to add insult to injury, but it’s just a sad situation. I’m done talking about this. /opinion

I’ve seen this all over the damn place; I never cared but it’s so prominent that it’s starting to bug me. All I’m gonna say on this issue is this:
 

So I told a friend about this today after he said something about a brony buying something off of eBay or something, but here’s what he said:
 
Me:“Well, did you here about the 11 year old kid that nearly committed suicide because he was being bullied for being a brony? It’s all over the internet.”
 
Friend:After thinking Well, I wouldn’t say he deserved it…”
 
“…What are you saying?”
 
“He liked my My Little Pony.”
 
“So? He likes that show. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
 
“That show was made for little girls.”
 
“So what? He was bullied and tried killing himself because of that! That’s upsetting!”
 
“Yeah? And?”
 
And then we break into this arguement which ends shortly. Ugh, I’m disgusted by what he had to say.

@Background Pony #AK47  

@gg666 yea there are too many damn losers around here!

@Background Pony #0FDB
 
 
….people say the exact same thing about being gay

what a loser

@Background Pony #0FDB  
You’re right.

@Zennistrad  
Well you can’t change human being, that’s just how things work. And there is no point sitting here and complain how people are cruel, it’s not gonna change something.

@Background Pony
 
So it’s okay to bully people because they’re “asking for it?” That’s a bit heartless, don’t you think?

@ender1200  
I say again, people can enjoy whatever they want as long as they not being obnoxious with it.

@Background Pony #0FDB  

@Background Pony #0FDB  
I know very well how bullies work. They make the reasons. For them it’s about power and making other feel miserable. If it wasn’t MLP than they would have found a different reason and even if they did it because they think boys shouldn’t watch and like MLP than for us of all people claiming that 11 year olds can’t enjoy MLP publicly the way they enjoy other shows will be nothing short of collaborating with them.

@ender1200  
I didn’t said he deserved it, but c’mon you know how the people work, they (bullies) just needed a reason to bully him and he gave them just that in this case.

@Background Pony #0FDB  
The kid is 11 years old, how do you expect him to keep things for himself? Let’s keep things realistic here.

@Background Pony #0FDB  
And how is this a popper reaction to his story?  
No tell me, if Michael was open about his love of MLP then he deserved the bulling? Is it O.K to torment others because you find their lifestyle or passion not to your liking?
