@@Fraktacular They are absolutely responsible. If they are unaware that their child is bullying others or worse, aware of it and ignoring the issue they are not doing their jobs as parents. Unacceptable.
@@Fraktacular yes they should be held accountable! That’s what’s the matter with this world is nobody is being held accountable. The school and the bullies parents knew it was going on. Something should have been done! If my child would have exhibiting bullying behavior it would have been dealt with. I wouldn’t have put up with it.
@@eduardochavacano you don’t have to know how to define suicide to commit suicide. He could have never heard the word before and the same outcome would come.

@@shirleycameron7718 I don't think that's important. The important thing is stuff like this happens and there should be more done to prevent it. Sadly, this is not the first time this has happened and it will surely not be the last.
My daughter and her friend went to principals office to show him a bullying tik tok video a girl made about another girl at school. I taught her not to be a snitch but am proud of her for standing up for the other girl.
@@Brandon68plus1 Uh, your daughter being a snitch was literally the best way for her to stand up for the other girl. If enough students were actually courageous enough to snitch on Drake’s bullies, he would probably be alive today because he would have the blessed assurance that he’s not alone, that the school system, administrators, and authorities all have his back.
honestly my daughter who is 12 told me some boys in her class don't understand kind and thinks they are psycho or have mental issues. No kid is born bad but i think due to family issues/trauma some kids just don't have feelings no matter what they are taught about kindness. Most men who are raised strict think boys should be tough and yell at or punished instead of being babied. I saw my daughters group chat and what i saw which how these boys act online at 10 or 12 years old is scary. My daughter left those chats and just stick to playing on roblox or people that are nice. At 12 boys compare private parts to how manly they are ect which is wrong. Girls in my daughters class are being disrespected by boys who think girls are weak ect. I have seen this at our elementary school and we live in Canada of all places who always say they stand for equality of men and women. Yet people aren't raising boys like they should. Clothes are gendered for babies and boys wearing girly stuff is still frowned on. Homophobia is raising in kids at school yet parents are not aware of this.
@@Brandon68plus1 don’t teach ur daughter not to be a snitch, teach her to stand up for other kids. She may save a life someday by standing up for that person and showing that she cares about them
Unbelievable!!! What are they going to do with the boy who bullied him into taking his own life??? I cannot imagine a child only 12 years old so desperate that the only way out of his pain was suicide. We as a society are lost.
I would have hung myself from my tree if all this was going on with the masks I would have killed myself if my parents made me wear one and teachers would have bullied me even more because I didn't want to. My little sisters may commit suicide soon the way they're feeling about it all. I know my dad has talked about it.
It's also his own parents fault. What did his dad do? Nothing. Send the kid to boxing class. When were 16 one of my friends put 3 guys who tried to rob him in ICU, he was also never bullied at school. So he was 4 years older than this kid and put 3 other teens in the intensive care unit. This isn't even the regular hospital, this was intensive care, they were nearly dead. All the of them had knifes and my friend just had his fist.
Every one has been bullied at sometime in their life, it's part of life and growing up. The world isn't always going to be a nice neat package of sunshine, rainbows and lollipops.
@@JENDALL714 and that does not justify hate. at 12 no child should feel so empty and drained to the point of suicide. the bully was punished, the school knew about it and it still didnt stop. there was no excuse for this child to be so hurtful to this poor boy and nothing will make it okay to bully someone to the point of death. this isnt normal.
@@crazyanimaltv344 he literally did tell his parents about it, the school knew, and the kid kept bullying him. he should hold this guilt for the rest of his life because he was selfish and decided to keep bullying a child who obviously needed a break multiple times.
so true the effects stick to this day unfortunately. my bully recently wanted to come Into my life but how could you forgive someone who tortured you for 6+ years...he truly F@*ked up my childhood.
I don't think we just can say it's the fault of one bully, if you teach the kids in his class they can and should stand up for him a bully would not be so brazen anymore and of course the teachers need to do more but most of all it beginns with the parents of the bully, they can have the biggest influence on him and I'am sure that there are parents which encourage bully behavior.
My daughter was bullied I kept her at home and she graduated and is now in college getting her degree. You can't stop the bullies because the bully's parents don't care and neither does the school. The only person(s) that care about YOUR child is YOU so home-school them before it's too late.
My mom did the same thing for me and it’s why I’m about to get my undergrad degree! I’m so thankful for her and I’m sure your daughter is thankful for you!
It’s sad that not everyone has this option. Thankful you were removed from a toxic environment. Schools and families have to have a zero tolerance policy. Gosh this story is heartbreaking. That poor family. So many people needing love and support. I can’t imagine their pain.
I got bullied in year 5 in primary school. She sat next to me so the only thing my teacher did was put a boy between us...... She bullied me for 2 years.
The bully needs to be held accountable and admit his shame to others publicly. The parents need to be held accountable for not having more control over the son bullying others.
Just expel the bullying student from school. Clearly, his bullying is dangerous enough to have resulted in another student’s death. Therefore, that makes him potentially dangerous to other students. Expelling him would help keep him away from any other victims.
most time parents don't know because kids act different at home and they use this to there advantage. The less the parent knows the kid can get away with, some people at a young age can be manipulative. Narcissism starts in childhood.
I lost my 16 yr old daughter to suicide in February of 2017. The 5 yr anniversary of her death was a few weeks ago. Bullying played a part in it. There are no words to describe how painful it is to lose a child, let alone to lose a child to suicide. My heart goes out to this family. I truly understand what they are going through and how they are feeling.
May your daughter rest in peace. Bullying is such a big issue. I'm just sick of the schools not doing anything. Please remember no matter where you daughter is, she will be with you always.
Drayke seem to have had a lot of love and fun in him. He had a beautiful color as his favorite--- Purple 🟣💜. It stands for Royalty. My favorite color also. R.I.P.🌺🌼🌻💐
Bullies have a gift for identifying the sensitive and bringing them pain. Schools are absolutely useless in handling these situations. Suspending the bully then putting him back into the same cage with the victim is a recipe for disaster and heartbreak.
@@theultimate6542 That worked for me but I am more the exception to the rule. More often than not, that not only doesn't work, it works in reverse. Also, if the victim is successful in punishing the bully, they may be the one that gets into trouble.
This happened to me. Except my bully was never suspended. They kept putting me back in there with him and wouldn't let me switch classes, nothing. I had to leave the school and the bullying followed me there because he had friends at that school and in my class. Kids can be sadistic too. It's hard to believe but I experienced it.
I identify with Drake so much. I was so miserable when I was 12. My mother refused to make me change secondary school because she said I would never be tough enough for real life. I once had an arm fully covered in bruises and nobody did a thing. That’s when my anxiety disorder began. I am 30 now and still dealing with the aftermath of those horrible years. Parents, don’t wait, if your kid is being targeted, allow them to change schools, change city, change country if that’s what it takes.
Hey love. Im so sorry you had to go through that. I want you to know that the Lord Jesus Christ loves you so much. He wants to heal you from the trauma that was happened to you. I pray that you are fully healed from the horrible things people have done to you in Jesus name. 🙏🏾❤️
At this point, if a school hears about bullying, there should be a strict enforcement to follow up. NO verbal, digital, or physical contact between the bully/bullied or CHARGES SHOULD BE PRESSED
BS. you know what can of worms you’d open up if these immature kids found out they could wield incredible power by just accusing someone else of bullying?! Horrible idea. You have as much a chance of getting kids to stop being mean to each other as you have getting adults to do the same. Focus on emotional resilience - thats all you can do.
@@yeboscrebo4451 Its fairly easy to get evidence of bullying now. So much of it takes place online, and everyone has an audio recorder/camera in their pocket. Emotional resilience is important, But its even more important that we work with children prone to bullying to help them fix their problems-- and that we do not tolerate their behavior. The idea used to be that kids had to learn how to navigate bullies to help prepare them for "real life"...teachers wouldnt even intervene unless it got physical. But frankly, a lot of bullying behavior will get you kicked out of bars, into trouble at work or arrested irl....even if you're famous or wealthy! We may as well prepare bullies for real life, and help them sort out their issues, develop better boundaries, self control and heathier coping mechanisms.
As a teacher, I was told that “it’s not my job to protect the children, but just to teach”‘it’s terrifying that this is thy e attitude of some administrators. I will never stop protecting my children. What a toxic attitude exists in some schools.
it's not that schools "can't" do anything about it, it's whether or not they would rather sweep incidents under the rug and pretend everything is fine until these (preventable) situations occur in the first place.

Schools please, take these bullying situations seriously!! We don't need anymore of these heartbreaking stories. My heartfelt condolences to the family of that precious child. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🕊️
@@savetionepic3210 The fact that you even have the capability to have that mindset is a very sad thing. You are the evil in this world that needs to end. No matter what way it ends may it happen. And may you be punished for the rest of your miserable life.
Unfortunately schools are schools and one common thing of schools (literally any that I've heard of) is they state that "They're against bullying at every angle" and then proceed to *watch* their students get bullied and do nothing/not much to stop it in the present nor the future.
As someone who was bullied I know the school didn’t care. Every time I was bullied since elementary no teacher or staff cared. No one cares until it’s too late. Rest in love sweet baby boy ❤️🤍❤️
No, even if it's too late the schools never care nor think anything of it. It's depressing how schools only care about exams, homework, and education when they are suppose to be focusing on mental health too.
Exactly, I used to get bullied in primary school in year 1 by a punk in year 3 or 4 and every time I go to the teachers they were always minding their own business. So yea it's definitely true
They really don’t! I’m so glad I didn’t do it. It really sucks too because that bully’s words will affect you for the rest of your life. I was bullied for not being as smart as my classmates. Ever since then, I’ve pushed myself to always do well in school and if I did bad then I would feel guilt or shame. I’m in college now and I’m majoring in Food science and Technology and I still feel guilt or shame when I don’t do as well as I expect or want.
Parents need to start actually teaching their kids that bullying isn't right! This hurts my soul because the parents KNEW what their son was doing!! This beautiful boy should still be here.. What has happened to the bully?? As usual, nothing!!
@@gregsmith983 absolutely if that boy is only 12 then someone in his home is hurting him in some way people think most bullies are just bad seed but in my 60 years if seen it's more the way there taught or bullied in home so sad😥😥
If you pay attention that's all anyone sees in America from the NATIONAL CAPITOL TO THE SO CALLED LEADER'S OF AMERICA THE FALLING NATION THAT PEOPLE IN THE CAPITOL PLAY HIGH SCHOOL POLITICS IT'S NOTHING MORE THAN THAT. AMERICA A FALLING NATION
One bully!!! He needs to be held accountable along with the school. This tragedy of a sweet boy can not be forgotten and pushed out of existence. Actions of this kind need to have consequences brought to the public as an example to others who think they can get away with it. Enough is enough!!
I agree - Name that Bully, His parents and the school administrators who let this go. The Bully needs 2 B jailed - maybe forever. He certainly shouldn't have children when he grows up.
Seeing him with his two dogs, I can tell he was a sweet boy. It is unfortunate that people do not know how to treat each other. Parents teach your kids how to treat others and parents do not bully or abuse your kids and teach them how to treat others.
What’s also scary is that the parents were aware, the school was aware, they said there had been suspensions and I’m assuming other disciplinary measures since it reached suspension, and it still wasn’t enough to stop the bullying. What more could they do? Possibly expel the student? Ticket the parents of the bully? I feel terrible for Drayke and his family but hopefully this helps bring further action and consequences to cases like these.
Drayke should have been protected by the school by placing him in a special needs curriculum so that he never would be harassed in the general Ed setting.
@@savetionepic3210 The fact that you even have the capability to have that mindset is a very sad thing. You are the evil in this world that needs to end. No matter what way it ends may it happen. And may you be punished for the rest of your miserable life.
They should 100% expell the kid, they used to do that stuff back in the day and if you were expelled enough then you could only attend a school with kids with the same problems. Shove that bully into a school like that for a month and I guarantee he/she would do anything to get back out. I don't get why schools are so scared of expelling students. If a kid can't behave themselves in a normal school setting, everyone else shouldn't have to suffer for it.
I'm 57 y/o, I was bullied in middle school & have still never fully recovered from it. I realize this is kind of pathetic, I never had anyone to talk to because my father was also a bully. I've lived a full life, I'm a Navy veteran,had a great son,success, etc.... The scars are deep.
Bullying needs to stop! Next month I will be 56 years old. I still have PTSD due to bullying from Elementary school and middle school. The bullying lasted for over 8 years. I pray for bullying to stop! Prayers for his loved ones.
I was bullied in highschool, it still effects me, I used to be a happy person and not have a problem with anxiety or anything until that happened. It sticks to you.
I don’t believe any bully works alone. The bully taunts his/her/their victims then the crowd laughs. That’s what makes a bully more powerful when theirs a crowd that’s cheering on who’s entertained by the behavior. Teach your kids not to bully but also teach your kids not to give the bully any power!!!
@@matt_vx1116 no, that’s not a child. that’s a demon of a person that acted grown and terrorized a little boy to his literal death. SAY THE BULLIES NAME! Just my opinion
This is sad we’re not seeing change. I’m 30 now, bullying happened to me and others I witnessed in school. When is there going to be some real change??
But back then it wasn’t the same now a days the things they bully people about are amplified and confirmed over and over by the toxic social media driven society we have these days. Back then there was reprieve for everyone no matter who you were. These days the standards are set in stone and if you fall below that you’re ruthlessly reminded of it day after day.
I was bullied when I was in elementary school but I made it through but bullying today has becone more cruel more violent and I always questioned myself what is the bully's hate coming from and why he or she want to hurt others?
When we stop teachers from allowing bullying. The teachers used bullying to go after kids. They did it to my daughter and parents don't always know teachers are involved. I went into the principals woth a cell phone live listening to a teacher lead a bullying campaign against my daughter (who was on the autism spectrum) and they didn't fire the teachers. I had to make them move her class. It is a lot to do with the system being broken. That teacher hid from me every time I came on campus and the principals helped her. She deserves whatever happens to her for that behavior and I hope she gets it. The schools don't protect kids. They target them. To all parents go protect your children. Pay attention to what is happening! The teachers are not there to help. They don't and have not for 10 to 15 years. I prayed for this family and hope there is a real outcry in the community. The teachers could stop it but the fact he said snitches get stitches means that they failed him!
The fact that it was a child.. That child had so much to live for.. He would've have a family of his own.. He would've have someone to love.. He was one of the greatest gifts to his family.. And it all ended because those bullies chose to hurt people.. I just hope they learn from what they've done..hope they'll change and redeem themselves for their wrong doings.
1:20 "Drayke always tried to find a way around it to make this kid want to be his friend." This just shows how big of a heart he had. That bully is going to carry SO much guilt for the rest of his life (if he has a conscience). Drayke sounds like such a sweetheart and I feel horrible that his family and friends are going through something like this. He was only 12. Heartbreaking 💔
This actually shows a trauma response called "fawning" towards another person who holds a position of power over us. It's not sweet or cute but a survival strategy.
He was emotional and truthful about how he was feeling, open with himself and happy. The bully is scared to be like him, someone so great, so he took it out on him.
Also we can except that there was no motive, that some kids are just awful, and that this most likely could have been prevented with more suicide awareness
So many days I’ve wanted to end it all, even when I was so young. I’m still here but this breaks me. No one ever does anything until it’s too late. Rest In Peace little dude, you deserved so much better.
I'm 43 years old and when I was in elementary school I was severely bullied to the point where I would get locked in the gym locker room and my classmates would take turn punching me and wouldn't let me leave till they were done. I would come home with bruises all over my arm and would get chased home from school. I have to see a therapist and it affects my life in every way till this day. People might not think it's serious but it can ruin someone's life if they don't know how to take care of it early on. No child deserves to be bullied. Every child should feel safe. Rest in peace little guy. I'm sorry for what you went through
From one survivor to another...I feel for you, my friend. I wish the pain would go away, for both of us and for anyone else who has been tormented by horrible children.
And do you remember what happened when you tried to tell someone about it? They told you to just ignore the bullies, right? That's what I was told, and when I thought back, I was punished worse than the bully was.
My thoughts are with his family, I’m so sorry for your loss. I struggle with my 14 year old son who is suicidal, every day of his life he struggles with it. My heart hurts for his parents. My heart hurts for this little boy.
Hope he gets better soon. Tell him he shouldn't end his life cause he has a bright future ahead of him. If you can see a therapist. Go out to the movies every now and then. Go for a walk everyday. Maybe get him into a sport. Possibly even the gym? I'm just listing a bunch of random stuff. But who knows they might make him enjoy life more. And I'm sorry he has to go through that amount of pain everyday. And like I said hope he gets better soon. 😁👍😊
As someone who's struggled with depression from my late 20's until now(I'm 35 currently), I really feel for what your son and family are going through. I myself try to keep busy with work and helping others or hobbies. And like spooder said I go to the movies just to get my mind off the problems in life. Tell your son that he matters, that there are people who care and that things will get better.
My daughter was bullied when she was in grade 6, and cried every single day to go to school. Today she is 24, and doing her Masters, but the memories of her bullies still remain. Scarred for life.
I can relate. Been bullied for 5 years from elementary to 6th grade. 27 years old now and accomplished a lot but the trauma led me to many mental health struggles and been through lots of broken relationships. I am finally starting to find healing from my inner child wounds and feeling genuinely happier through means of learning to surround myself with people who are compassionate. I have no doubt things can get better for people through time and a few things to replace those old memories with new ones.
No child should ever feel like they don't want to live. They should be the opposite and be looking forward to life. This bully and every bully need to be held accountable.
I was bullied. My youngest son was bullied. With my son's case I didn't negotiate and I wasn't flexible. I wrote the principal and the board of education. I visited the school personally and met with the principal and assistant principal to let them know it "had to stop immediately." I strongly advised them to talk to the parents of bully. My son was never bullied again. It's time to do better, including holding even the parents 100% accountable for their bullying children.
@@yhagooliveira2268 you must be a prophet! My boys both did mixed martial arts. My older son is undefeated since 2017, 100% knockouts. He even considered going pro. They both train very hard daily. You're absolutely correct about teaching kids to defend themselves, as an essential survival tool.
I hope the school he went to gets a zero tolerance for bullying and starts protecting these kids while they are in their care! Devastating loss for this family!
When one of my son's was bullied in elementary school, I marched down there and had a talk with the principal. The 2 bullies had to write a letter of apology to him and I could see how that empowered my son. He kept those letters over the years and was never bullied again. Wonder what kind of action this child's school took. My heart breaks for the parents and for their sweet boy.
@@LM-zk4rm My school praised the bully and acted like I was the problem. She would literally come up and hit me, then yell, “Britta hit me.” It’s messed up. A lot of them are sociopathic kids who lay it on thick, and are loved by the teachers.
I was bullied at his age, and my parents went to the school and the school said, "WELL GET OVER IT", even though I was being physically touched and bullied.
Harassment, stalking, assault are all violations of law. They need to start charging these bullies as juveniles...it wouldn't take long and most of the bullying would stop.
Unfortunately, when schools start pressing charges for stuff like this, the victims often get in trouble for defending themselves, and the schools start pressing charges on other non-violent stuff so they can start the school to prison pipeline early
So true. If I'd ever gotten suspended as a kid, then my parents would have made sure that the time spent at home was not fun (would have been grounded and given chores to do). Parents nowadays just don't care, or are too busy working to even monitor their kids.
They need to be expelled and forced to attend another school, if switching schools isn't an option or if they continue that behavior then they should be forced to do online schooling.
So sad and so true suicide is in the news almost everyday now. Unfortunately if a bully doesn't realize or change their ways they just keep bullying throughout life. I'm a 66 year old that has been bullied my whole life. The damage affects you all around as a person and your life. Bullies need to be held accountable but it seems that this type of torture is not taken seriously.
I'm so sorry for the loss of their precious Son. Bullies should be dealt with and Parents called in. The bully and his family should be held accountable. Its a shame that the adults that knew about the bully should give account.
@@mmaa5109 A lot of times the kids are just spewing the hate that their parents taught them. I don’t think it’s right to beat the impressionable child. However the family should be held accountable
Schools don’t hold bad kids accountable for anything my son was getting hit in the back of the head the principal said it was some tic tok trend and that the kid was playing . I’m like well if my son hits him in the eye for touching him then that’s how he plays 😒 the bully always gets defended same with the criminal justice system this is why we have to communicate with our own kids and teach them to defend themselves and speak up since we cannot relay on teachers , staff or other wanna be parents that are just as reckless and the kids they are responsible for .
@@jefffrei4671 Easier said than done, especially if you are an only child. Now when I look back I would tell the younger version of myself:. 1. Everything is temporary. 2. The bully could be kicked out of school or move away or find religion tomorrow. 3. Write down what is happening like a diary so there is a record to facilitate #2.
NO bullying should ever be tolerated. Teachers see this going on, other kids see it going on. I was bullied in grade school (60s). It hurt to my core. Every child in this young kids school needs to sit in special Ed about bullying. I'm so sad this happened.

RIP in peace baby. My heart goes out to his family. This is a cruel world so many people lack compassion and trust me it’s just not kids. Those who bullied him should be held accountable. There needs to be consequences for bullying.
Sending my compassion to the family and friends. This is so sad. I have witnessed my 7 year old get bullied on zoom because of how he sounds when he talks and the teacher only said to the child bullying him don't say that. Are you serious. I can't imagine the pain they are going through. Consequences should be put in place for bullies and their parents.
No he didn’t. He taught him how to be man and handle his problems. Parents today coddle and don’t teach their kids to be strong mentally or physically. Bullies will not go away, so we must teach our kids how to deal with it.
Thoughts and prayers for this beautiful soul and his family and friends. The bully and his parents should be held accountable, especially since the bully learned from his parents. Rest in Peace, Cutie Little Guy.
This is why schools should take bullying seriously and do something about it...it leads to so many deaths. The kids who do it face no repercussions or punishment
They need to start trying them as adults when it ends up the victim commits suicide or at least put them in Juv Hall for an extended stay. Bet it will change things.
In my opinion, the schools DO take bullying serious and they DO something about it. The problem is what they do. My grandson is in middle school and had to change schools halfway through the school year. Within 2 weeks we were hearing about issues with a kid in his class. Finally, last week the 2 boys met in a bathroom and got into a fight. Both boys were suspended for 2 days. We cooked my grandson a celebration dinner and told him we were proud of him. This zero tolerance bs is ridiculous. No other group that is being preyed upon is expected to submit and roll over whimpering. Self preservation dictates that we do what we have to so we survive. My grandson had better NOT bully anyone but if a bully comes at him he knows to take up for himself and if there are consequences he knows his family will support him. SCHOOLS: stop punishing kids for taking up for themselves. Our judicial system has rules and laws to protect a person's right to defend themselves. Here we are telling kids they don't have the same protections grown ups have. Oh, it makes your job easier as all sides get punished but you are punishing the bullied kid a 2nd time and leaving the kid who fears being called a snitch with no justice at all. Your system does not work!
This is absolutely heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones. Please, PLEASE check in with everyone you love and care about, or even check in with those you don’t know. Even if they seem happy. You can be the person to positively change someone else’s day. You can be the person that changes someone’s decision to hurt themselves. These are truly sad times we live in, but we all need to stick together and help each other out when these times are rough.
@@oaktree6986 Lol why do you care so much about how someone uses the term "baby"? My Mom still calls me her baby even after I've had my own.

Listen to me sweetie. Don’t let anyone get to you. We are all here for you. Bullies are cowards. They’re not strong. I’m 62 years old and I was bullied at work a few years ago. I had to quit my job because I was so scared. Bullies get back every thing they do to others. It might take a while but I promise you, they will.

I'm sorry Drake!! I'm 36 I'm also being bullied at work. I've had these same exact thoughts!! I just want you to know it's not your fault how people treat you. Rest on
Oh honey, no. Run. Never, ever tolerate that. Never. Make arrangements to change that job. No business should ever allow that to happen to anyone. No scumbag bully is worth your life or emotional well being.
I was bullied a lot in middle school & grade school, then again much later in life at work.I kept that job longer than any cuz u get so depressed u think u can’t do better anymore
There is no room in this world for bullies .My son was bullied and I am lucky he is still here .The bullies should be held accountable for their actions and so should the parents .These bullies have destroyed this little boy’s family for ever .They should be punished severely for their actions
"Bullying builds character..." no, it breeds trauma and mental illness. Bullying never stops either. You'll encounter them as bosses, teachers, partners, friends, colleagues....
Especially when it happens to people, who didn't do anything to deserve it. There's no benefit to this. All it does is reward somebody for bad behavior. And a kid who actually had potential doesn't get a chance to succeed.
Were you ever mean to another kid when you were little? I doubt anyone has gone through childhood without being unkind to someone. Don’t ruin another little kid’s life
@@yeboscrebo4451 The bullies ruined an ENTIRE family's life. If they are not held accountable, they will only continue to bully others and ruin more lives.
@@GTSE2005 the kid ruined his own life. It was a suicide remember. If you’d like to make a new set of “don’t be mean” laws then you’d be better suited in communist China with a social credit score, freedom-less, completely surveilled life. In the past when kids were taught “sticks and stones”, suicide was a pretty rare thing.
@@yeboscrebo4451 well, the bully doesn't have to be criminally charged, but he ABSOLUTELY NEEDS to have disciplinary action taken against him. That is what we mean by holding him accountable for his actions.
If bullies are not held accountable families will keep crying.. bullying cannot be normalized and it starts with parenting at home. And discipline at school. Such beautiful eyes. Such a shame.
Utah has a lot of Bullies including TEACHERS I have a disabled child I took out of school and home school him. He’s so much better off I’m so glad I did it. My son is safe and happy. The damage is done and recovery is still on going. Kids are so mean but Teachers are worse. We as mothers see how they suffer and you must protect them even if you remove them from harmful people they will have time to recover from their abusers. Be strong keep your sick sense sharp. Don’t let your children blame themselves for others bad behavior just homeschool them or send them to a different school altogether.
As a mother I can’t imagine her pain. When you have your baby as you look at them and their so innocent you can’t imagine them going through pain or someone hurting them. My heart goes out to baby Drake and this mom. We need to raise our kids to be kind to others.
When I was in elementary school, I was bullied for 3 years. I tried to defend myself once and ended up suspended for a week. I tried speaking about it to the teachers and principal and always got told “there’s no evidence.” I thought about suicide more than once, but what kept me from committing it was thinking the pain I would cause my mom. It makes me so sad that after 20 years nothing is being done.
The teachers had the AUDACITY to ask you for evidence of BULLYING??! AND GETTING SUSPENDED FOR DEFENDING YOURSELF??!!! Sue the school. End of statement
Yeah in middle school I thought about it a couple times, but was never really serious about though. The main thing keeping me from thinking about more and more seriously is thinking of the pain it would cause to my mom and brother.
i went through the same thing.. my teachers told me that it wouldnt affect/matter in the future when im older and that ill be laughing at it. they treated us like adults with no emotion. (even tho we were in grade 6-7) im now 18 and still suffer from it. the fact that they needed evidence to do anything about it is down right wrong. wish schools dealt with our stuff differently.
I too was viciously bullied as a child and teen because I have a form of dwarfism and look different. Even some of the teachers bullied me. Nothing was ever done and the "blame" for the bullying was always placed on me (the victim, sometimes even by family). I was bullied in every way possible, from beatings to name calling to being shunned. I kept to myself just to try to stay safe and sane, but I often thought of suicide and even planned several times to do it. Luckily music and performing in youth orchestras sustained me, but it was very close.
Hold the school, the bully, the bully's parents accountable. No family should ever have to experience this.
Parent's aren't responsible for the sins of the children, and vice versa.
a boy i went to school killed himself and the bullies never returned. couldn’t show their faces in public for a while
@@Fraktacular They are absolutely responsible. If they are unaware that their child is bullying others or worse, aware of it and ignoring the issue they are not doing their jobs as parents. Unacceptable.
@@Fraktacular yes they should be held accountable! That’s what’s the matter with this world is nobody is being held accountable. The school and the bullies parents knew it was going on. Something should have been done! If my child would have exhibiting bullying behavior it would have been dealt with. I wouldn’t have put up with it.
ABSOLUTELY! All the parties involved should be held accountable and jailed, including the kid bully.
no 12 year old should even know what the word suicide is yet alone the feeling. my heart completely goes out to the family.
Even a 6 year old know what that is kids aren't dumb
cmon every 12 year old knows what suicide is
The media killed this boy and thousands of other people who keep hearing such words.

Parents, teach your children to be kind. Schools, take bullying seriously. This is tragic. Shame on the bully and their parents.
My daughter and her friend went to principals office to show him a bullying tik tok video a girl made about another girl at school. I taught her not to be a snitch but am proud of her for standing up for the other girl.
@@Brandon68plus1 Uh, your daughter being a snitch was literally the best way for her to stand up for the other girl. If enough students were actually courageous enough to snitch on Drake’s bullies, he would probably be alive today because he would have the blessed assurance that he’s not alone, that the school system, administrators, and authorities all have his back.
honestly my daughter who is 12 told me some boys in her class don't understand kind and thinks they are psycho or have mental issues. No kid is born bad but i think due to family issues/trauma some kids just don't have feelings no matter what they are taught about kindness. Most men who are raised strict think boys should be tough and yell at or punished instead of being babied. I saw my daughters group chat and what i saw which how these boys act online at 10 or 12 years old is scary. My daughter left those chats and just stick to playing on roblox or people that are nice. At 12 boys compare private parts to how manly they are ect which is wrong. Girls in my daughters class are being disrespected by boys who think girls are weak ect. I have seen this at our elementary school and we live in Canada of all places who always say they stand for equality of men and women. Yet people aren't raising boys like they should. Clothes are gendered for babies and boys wearing girly stuff is still frowned on. Homophobia is raising in kids at school yet parents are not aware of this.
@@Brandon68plus1 don’t teach ur daughter not to be a snitch, teach her to stand up for other kids. She may save a life someday by standing up for that person and showing that she cares about them
@@Brandon68plus1 so you taught her to keep quiet when she sees injustice?
Unbelievable!!! What are they going to do with the boy who bullied him into taking his own life??? I cannot imagine a child only 12 years old so desperate that the only way out of his pain was suicide. We as a society are lost.
I would have hung myself from my tree if all this was going on with the masks I would have killed myself if my parents made me wear one and teachers would have bullied me even more because I didn't want to. My little sisters may commit suicide soon the way they're feeling about it all. I know my dad has talked about it.
@Tomasino Romano stop the vs you're nothing like everyone on this earth
Children learn from the parents. Something is off in the bullier household.
Everyday talk to our children and teach them how precious they are and that suicide is a sin. Also, teaching our children to speak up too
He school system failed him. They need to instill intervention for this bully… boot camp so he can get a taste of it!
I would tell that bully, even if he was also a kid that “My Son Died Because Of You!” right through his face in front of his parents & everyone else…
But nobody wants him to be held accountable
The bullies dad would get a violent visit by an ANGRY and grieving father
It's also his own parents fault. What did his dad do? Nothing. Send the kid to boxing class. When were 16 one of my friends put 3 guys who tried to rob him in ICU, he was also never bullied at school. So he was 4 years older than this kid and put 3 other teens in the intensive care unit. This isn't even the regular hospital, this was intensive care, they were nearly dead. All the of them had knifes and my friend just had his fist.
Yes I would do the same. The bully needs to know. His actions caused someone to take his life.
@@jhowardsupporter I would have paid money to see that..
This poor child. No child should ever be bullied. The kid who bullied and his family should be charged. Rest In Peace angel. Prayers for his family
Every one has been bullied at sometime in their life, it's part of life and growing up. The world isn't always going to be a nice neat package of sunshine, rainbows and lollipops.
@@JENDALL714 and that does not justify hate. at 12 no child should feel so empty and drained to the point of suicide. the bully was punished, the school knew about it and it still didnt stop. there was no excuse for this child to be so hurtful to this poor boy and nothing will make it okay to bully someone to the point of death. this isnt normal.
@@ava.444. Again, that's life, everyone is bullied at some point in their life, the strong ones survive to live a fruitful and productive life.
Bullying is natural in school we all do, He was really weak he could have told his parents about it.
@@crazyanimaltv344 he literally did tell his parents about it, the school knew, and the kid kept bullying him. he should hold this guilt for the rest of his life because he was selfish and decided to keep bullying a child who obviously needed a break multiple times.

so true the effects stick to this day unfortunately. my bully recently wanted to come Into my life but how could you forgive someone who tortured you for 6+ years...he truly F@*ked up my childhood.
I am middle aged and the bad memories never go away. To this day I have never been able to form close relationships and distrust people.
We need to hold this bully accountable even as a minor. Prayers for the grieving family.
What do you mean bruh
I don't think we just can say it's the fault of one bully, if you teach the kids in his class they can and should stand up for him a bully would not be so brazen anymore and of course the teachers need to do more but most of all it beginns with the parents of the bully, they can have the biggest influence on him and I'am sure that there are parents which encourage bully behavior.
what do u mean by “accountable?” jail?!
@@hnyuq4049 not jail, a money fine something like that, but the school should talk with the parents befor it gets that far.
@@hnyuq4049 community service
My daughter was bullied I kept her at home and she graduated and is now in college getting her degree. You can't stop the bullies because the bully's parents don't care and neither does the school. The only person(s) that care about YOUR child is YOU so home-school them before it's too late.
My mom did the same thing for me and it’s why I’m about to get my undergrad degree! I’m so thankful for her and I’m sure your daughter is thankful for you!
It’s sad that not everyone has this option. Thankful you were removed from a toxic environment. Schools and families have to have a zero tolerance policy. Gosh this story is heartbreaking. That poor family. So many people needing love and support. I can’t imagine their pain.
Sadly it might be the only way
I got bullied in year 5 in primary school. She sat next to me so the only thing my teacher did was put a boy between us...... She bullied me for 2 years.
Yes exactly. The schools DONT care and neither do the parents of the bully!
The bully needs to be held accountable and admit his shame to others publicly.
The parents need to be held accountable for not having more control over the son bullying others.
Just expel the bullying student from school. Clearly, his bullying is dangerous enough to have resulted in another student’s death. Therefore, that makes him potentially dangerous to other students. Expelling him would help keep him away from any other victims.
most time parents don't know because kids act different at home and they use this to there advantage. The less the parent knows the kid can get away with, some people at a young age can be manipulative. Narcissism starts in childhood.
@@mechadoggy Not only should he be expelled, he should be arrested for assault.
The bullies belong in jail.
@@MustacheCashStash125 B- what did I expect.
I lost my 16 yr old daughter to suicide in February of 2017. The 5 yr anniversary of her death was a few weeks ago. Bullying played a part in it. There are no words to describe how painful it is to lose a child, let alone to lose a child to suicide. My heart goes out to this family. I truly understand what they are going through and how they are feeling.
May your daughter rest in peace. Bullying is such a big issue. I'm just sick of the schools not doing anything. Please remember no matter where you daughter is, she will be with you always.

It's a shame that bullying is still going on in the 🏫 schools.
Bullies have a gift for identifying the sensitive and bringing them pain. Schools are absolutely useless in handling these situations. Suspending the bully then putting him back into the same cage with the victim is a recipe for disaster and heartbreak.
The victim needs to stand up. They need to know it’s alright to inflict pain upon the person who is bullying them
@@theultimate6542 That worked for me but I am more the exception to the rule. More often than not, that not only doesn't work, it works in reverse. Also, if the victim is successful in punishing the bully, they may be the one that gets into trouble.
@@jonmars9559 How does it work in reverse? And tbh I’d rather get in trouble, then let a bully think they can ever walk over me
This happened to me. Except my bully was never suspended. They kept putting me back in there with him and wouldn't let me switch classes, nothing. I had to leave the school and the bullying followed me there because he had friends at that school and in my class. Kids can be sadistic too. It's hard to believe but I experienced it.
@@soldierforchrist631 Ever thought of fighting back? U have the right to defend yourself u know
I identify with Drake so much. I was so miserable when I was 12. My mother refused to make me change secondary school because she said I would never be tough enough for real life. I once had an arm fully covered in bruises and nobody did a thing. That’s when my anxiety disorder began. I am 30 now and still dealing with the aftermath of those horrible years. Parents, don’t wait, if your kid is being targeted, allow them to change schools, change city, change country if that’s what it takes.
Fr
Hey love. Im so sorry you had to go through that. I want you to know that the Lord Jesus Christ loves you so much. He wants to heal you from the trauma that was happened to you. I pray that you are fully healed from the horrible things people have done to you in Jesus name. 🙏🏾❤️

Keep going, don't let them win! You are the hero of your own life!!
At this point, if a school hears about bullying, there should be a strict enforcement to follow up. NO verbal, digital, or physical contact between the bully/bullied or CHARGES SHOULD BE PRESSED
Agreed. A zero tolerance, strictly enforced policy.
BS. you know what can of worms you’d open up if these immature kids found out they could wield incredible power by just accusing someone else of bullying?! Horrible idea. You have as much a chance of getting kids to stop being mean to each other as you have getting adults to do the same. Focus on emotional resilience - thats all you can do.
@@yeboscrebo4451 or discipline. teaching morals
@@yeboscrebo4451 Its fairly easy to get evidence of bullying now. So much of it takes place online, and everyone has an audio recorder/camera in their pocket.
Emotional resilience is important,
But its even more important that we work with children prone to bullying to help them fix their problems-- and that we do not tolerate their behavior.
The idea used to be that kids had to learn how to navigate bullies to help prepare them for "real life"...teachers wouldnt even intervene unless it got physical.
But frankly, a lot of bullying behavior will get you kicked out of bars, into trouble at work
or arrested irl....even if you're famous or wealthy!
We may as well prepare bullies for real life, and help them sort out their issues, develop better boundaries, self control and heathier coping mechanisms.
As a teacher, I was told that “it’s not my job to protect the children, but just to teach”‘it’s terrifying that this is thy e attitude of some administrators. I will never stop protecting my children. What a toxic attitude exists in some schools.
“bullying is not tolerated” but the school can’t do nothing about it until someone dies. rest easy kid! 💗 nobody deserves this , NOBODY.
it's not that schools "can't" do anything about it, it's whether or not they would rather sweep incidents under the rug and pretend everything is fine until these (preventable) situations occur in the first place.
Ok
They absolutely CAN do something about it but they REFUSE to do so.

Exactly, I used to get bullied in primary school in year 1 by a punk in year 3 or 4 and every time I go to the teachers they were always minding their own business. So yea it's definitely true
They really don’t! I’m so glad I didn’t do it. It really sucks too because that bully’s words will affect you for the rest of your life. I was bullied for not being as smart as my classmates.

One bully!!! He needs to be held accountable along with the school. This tragedy of a sweet boy can not be forgotten and pushed out of existence. Actions of this kind need to have consequences brought to the public as an example to others who think they can get away with it. Enough is enough!!
I agree - Name that Bully, His parents and the school administrators who let this go. The Bully needs 2 B jailed - maybe forever. He certainly shouldn't have children when he grows up.
The bully should go to Juvie and the parent's sued and jailed as well!
THE BULLY NEEDS HELP! He is probably being abused at home! That is where bullying starts!
That. Hold is probably suffering at home. Most bully’s are victims of home abuse
Seeing him with his two dogs, I can tell he was a sweet boy. It is unfortunate that people do not know how to treat each other. Parents teach your kids how to treat others and parents do not bully or abuse your kids and teach them how to treat others.
What’s also scary is that the parents were aware, the school was aware, they said there had been suspensions and I’m assuming other disciplinary measures since it reached suspension, and it still wasn’t enough to stop the bullying. What more could they do? Possibly expel the student? Ticket the parents of the bully? I feel terrible for Drayke and his family but hopefully this helps bring further action and consequences to cases like these.
Drayke should have been protected by the school by placing him in a special needs curriculum so that he never would be harassed in the general Ed setting.
If it kept happening, the one doing the bullying should be kicked out of the school completely and have to go seek help from a psychologist.

They should 100% expell the kid, they used to do that stuff back in the day and if you were expelled enough then you could only attend a school with kids with the same problems. Shove that bully into a school like that for a month and I guarantee he/she would do anything to get back out.
I don't get why schools are so scared of expelling students. If a kid can't behave themselves in a normal school setting, everyone else shouldn't have to suffer for it.

This is sad we’re not seeing change. I’m 30 now, bullying happened to me and others I witnessed in school. When is there going to be some real change??
But back then it wasn’t the same now a days the things they bully people about are amplified and confirmed over and over by the toxic social media driven society we have these days. Back then there was reprieve for everyone no matter who you were. These days the standards are set in stone and if you fall below that you’re ruthlessly reminded of it day after day.
I was bullied when I was in elementary school but I made it through but bullying today has becone more cruel more violent and I always questioned myself what is the bully's hate coming from and why he or she want to hurt others?
When we stop teachers from allowing bullying. The teachers used bullying to go after kids. They did it to my daughter and parents don't always know teachers are involved. I went into the principals woth a cell phone live listening to a teacher lead a bullying campaign against my daughter (who was on the autism spectrum) and they didn't fire the teachers. I had to make them move her class. It is a lot to do with the system being broken. That teacher hid from me every time I came on campus and the principals helped her. She deserves whatever happens to her for that behavior and I hope she gets it. The schools don't protect kids. They target them. To all parents go protect your children. Pay attention to what is happening! The teachers are not there to help. They don't and have not for 10 to 15 years. I prayed for this family and hope there is a real outcry in the community. The teachers could stop it but the fact he said snitches get stitches means that they failed him!

1:20 "Drayke always tried to find a way around it to make this kid want to be his friend." This just shows how big of a heart he had. That bully is going to carry SO much guilt for the rest of his life (if he has a conscience). Drayke sounds like such a sweetheart and I feel horrible that his family and friends are going through something like this. He was only 12. Heartbreaking 💔
This actually shows a trauma response called "fawning" towards another person who holds a position of power over us. It's not sweet or cute but a survival strategy.
I don't think that the bully will carry anything.That kind of people have no remorse.
@@martyes9563 that’s really interesting actually. I never knew that! Regardless, he seemed like a really sweet kid from how his parents described him.
@@sophieisabella The photo of Drayke and the puppies got me 😢
@@TheEmpress185 maybe not but he will be shunned for the rest of his life
He was emotional and truthful about how he was feeling, open with himself and happy. The bully is scared to be like him, someone so great, so he took it out on him.
I fought my bully in middle school after i let it happen in elementary school and i got in trouble for it
Also we can except that there was no motive, that some kids are just awful, and that this most likely could have been prevented with more suicide awareness
Bullies are not scared. Bullies are sociopaths who enjoy inflicting pain, damage and anguish on other people. Bullying should be criminalized.
You dont even know the bully lol
@@user-fy1xv6nu3f don’t need to. That’s exactly the issue with him. It’s very clear.
It's about time the bullies are called out as well as there parents and the school , hold them accountable.
So many days I’ve wanted to end it all, even when I was so young. I’m still here but this breaks me. No one ever does anything until it’s too late. Rest In Peace little dude, you deserved so much better.
I'm 43 years old and when I was in elementary school I was severely bullied to the point where I would get locked in the gym locker room and my classmates would take turn punching me and wouldn't let me leave till they were done. I would come home with bruises all over my arm and would get chased home from school. I have to see a therapist and it affects my life in every way till this day. People might not think it's serious but it can ruin someone's life if they don't know how to take care of it early on. No child deserves to be bullied. Every child should feel safe. Rest in peace little guy. I'm sorry for what you went through
I'm 56,and I got bullied also, it's something you never forget
From one survivor to another...I feel for you, my friend. I wish the pain would go away, for both of us and for anyone else who has been tormented by horrible children.
And do you remember what happened when you tried to tell someone about it? They told you to just ignore the bullies, right? That's what I was told, and when I thought back, I was punished worse than the bully was.
I'm sorry that this happened to you.
Terrible I'm sorry
This child was beautiful. His soul was beautiful. Look at his eyes. He didn’t deserve this treatment. Poor baby.
He had sadness in his eyes, poor kid.
nobody deserves this
I wish he was a woman
@@the-ko1cn ???
I thought they’d do more after Seven Bridges .. Rest In Peace kids.
My thoughts are with his family, I’m so sorry for your loss. I struggle with my 14 year old son who is suicidal, every day of his life he struggles with it. My heart hurts for his parents. My heart hurts for this little boy.
Hope he gets better soon. Tell him he shouldn't end his life cause he has a bright future ahead of him. If you can see a therapist. Go out to the movies every now and then. Go for a walk everyday. Maybe get him into a sport. Possibly even the gym? I'm just listing a bunch of random stuff. But who knows they might make him enjoy life more. And I'm sorry he has to go through that amount of pain everyday. And like I said hope he gets better soon. 😁👍😊
As someone who's struggled with depression from my late 20's until now(I'm 35 currently), I really feel for what your son and family are going through. I myself try to keep busy with work and helping others or hobbies. And like spooder said I go to the movies just to get my mind off the problems in life. Tell your son that he matters, that there are people who care and that things will get better.
bruh teach your kid how to be tough. its what i would if i had a child. lifs never easy. gotta be built like a tank. even at an early age
My heart goes to the family. I’m so sad that the boy felt he had no other option, he was so beautiful!
My daughter was bullied when she was in grade 6, and cried every single day to go to school. Today she is 24, and doing her Masters, but the memories of her bullies still remain. Scarred for life.
I can relate. Been bullied for 5 years from elementary to 6th grade. 27 years old now and accomplished a lot but the trauma led me to many mental health struggles and been through lots of broken relationships. I am finally starting to find healing from my inner child wounds and feeling genuinely happier through means of learning to surround myself with people who are compassionate. I have no doubt things can get better for people through time and a few things to replace those old memories with new ones.
@@gabrielle6158 Wishing you well, and pray you overcome.
THE KID IS GONE FOREVER AND I'M LAUGHING LOL 🤣
No child should ever feel like they don't want to live. They should be the opposite and be looking forward to life. This bully and every bully need to be held accountable.
Yes!
They need to be looking forward to life at an especially young age, Not a single kid deserves to be bullied to where they just want it to end
I hope to run up on any of my bullies everyday.
As a mother this is absolutely heartbreaking 💔 Kids can be so cruel 😭
What a beautiful little child.. shame on those evil monsters... Rip, little angel..
I was bullied. My youngest son was bullied. With my son's case I didn't negotiate and I wasn't flexible. I wrote the principal and the board of education. I visited the school personally and met with the principal and assistant principal to let them know it "had to stop immediately." I strongly advised them to talk to the parents of bully. My son was never bullied again. It's time to do better, including holding even the parents 100% accountable for their bullying children.
You did right! We have to advocate for our kids!
Start putting your kids in Jiu jitsu please!!
@@yhagooliveira2268 you must be a prophet! My boys both did mixed martial arts. My older son is undefeated since 2017, 100% knockouts. He even considered going pro. They both train very hard daily.
You're absolutely correct about teaching kids to defend themselves, as an essential survival tool.
@@chomka426 Your words are bullying the parents. Just what they need to hear right now. You are a terrible person.
Free speech -just because they might not agree or like it doesn't mean it's bullying.
You can just tell from this video he was Such a beautiful boy.
I hope the school he went to gets a zero tolerance for bullying and starts protecting these kids while they are in their care!
Devastating loss for this family!
This is just heartbreaking, 12 years old!! My deepest condolences go out to his family. Rest in peace sweet boy.
When one of my son's was bullied in elementary school, I marched down there and had a talk with the principal. The 2 bullies had to write a letter of apology to him and I could see how that empowered my son. He kept those letters over the years and was never bullied again. Wonder what kind of action this child's school took. My heart breaks for the parents and for their sweet boy.
His mother said there were suspensions.
40 now but when my mom went they said "we know she's a problem " and did nothing else
@@LM-zk4rm My school praised the bully and acted like I was the problem. She would literally come up and hit me, then yell, “Britta hit me.” It’s messed up. A lot of them are sociopathic kids who lay it on thick, and are loved by the teachers.
Schools do nothing I went and talked multiple times had to change schools
I was bullied at his age, and my parents went to the school and the school said, "WELL GET OVER IT", even though I was being physically touched and bullied.
Harassment, stalking, assault are all violations of law. They need to start charging these bullies as juveniles...it wouldn't take long and most of the bullying would stop.
Unfortunately, when schools start pressing charges for stuff like this, the victims often get in trouble for defending themselves, and the schools start pressing charges on other non-violent stuff so they can start the school to prison pipeline early
This is heartbreaking! He was such a beautiful child. I can't imagine what his family is going through.
I believe bullies that beat up kids should be arrested for assault, not simply suspended.
Suspensions are vacations for kids today. More must be done. Words are powerful. Prayers for this family 🙏🏽
So true. If I'd ever gotten suspended as a kid, then my parents would have made sure that the time spent at home was not fun (would have been grounded and given chores to do). Parents nowadays just don't care, or are too busy working to even monitor their kids.
They need to be expelled and forced to attend another school, if switching schools isn't an option or if they continue that behavior then they should be forced to do online schooling.
@@LugiThePainDrinker that also causes issues. We don't know how our children will handle that until they get older.
Exactly
@@Blaster-Rat should be sent to a boot camp at this point
The bully and the parents of the bully need to be punished accordingly. This isn't right! Prayers to the family.
😳😢 ...bullying is toxic behaviour, totally unacceptable.tragedy.
So sad and so true suicide is in the news almost everyday now. Unfortunately if a bully doesn't realize or change their ways they just keep bullying throughout life. I'm a 66 year old that has been bullied my whole life. The damage affects you all around as a person and your life. Bullies need to be held accountable but it seems that this type of torture is not taken seriously.
The bullying has got to stop! Raise your kids, people! A beautiful son gone! RIP!
Do you know the bully 😏 🤔
I'm so sorry for the loss of their precious Son. Bullies should be dealt with and Parents called in. The bully and his family should be held accountable. Its a shame that the adults that knew about the bully should give account.
@Yourmomlovesmydong do you know the definition of *should* ?
Bullies should have a public whopping in school just like the old days; otherwise, such tragedies will keep on repeating
@Yourmomlovesmydong How does it work then?
@@mmaa5109 A lot of times the kids are just spewing the hate that their parents taught them. I don’t think it’s right to beat the impressionable child. However the family should be held accountable
Schools don’t hold bad kids accountable for anything my son was getting hit in the back of the head the principal said it was some tic tok trend and that the kid was playing . I’m like well if my son hits him in the eye for touching him then that’s how he plays 😒 the bully always gets defended same with the criminal justice system this is why we have to communicate with our own kids and teach them to defend themselves and speak up since we cannot relay on teachers , staff or other wanna be parents that are just as reckless and the kids they are responsible for .
This is heart breaking. I hope the bully is prosecuted to the fullest.
So heartbreaking. I’m so sorry that you felt the need to stop your pain in this way. May you rest peacefully, bud. 🕊🙏♥️
I remember being bullied and I just want this bully's parents to know that you are raising a monster.
You move on
@@jefffrei4671 Easier said than done, especially if you are an only child. Now when I look back I would tell the younger version of myself:. 1. Everything is temporary. 2. The bully could be kicked out of school or move away or find religion tomorrow.
3. Write down what is happening like a diary so there is a record to facilitate #2.
His eyes were so beautiful. RIP little dude
Absolutely Heartbreaking 😰 Bullying needs to Stop...RIP to the victim 🙏 condolences to his parents🙏
This had me cry, this is so sad. I hope they bring justice! That bully needs some Consequences , I hope he NEVER bullies again.
NO bullying should ever be tolerated. Teachers see this going on, other kids see it going on.
I was bullied in grade school (60s). It hurt to my core.
Every child in this young kids school needs to sit in special Ed about bullying.
I'm so sad this happened.

I understand what it’s like to be bullied and to feel suicidal. If the family is reading this I’m so sorry for your loss. I give you love.
This is why schools should take bullying seriously and do something about it...it leads to so many deaths. The kids who do it face no repercussions or punishment
The schools do NOTHING!
At one time they claimed to have zero tolerance for bullying, but NOW, they're too busy teaching kids BS, proving they don't really care.
They need to put them out of school on the second report. Homeschooling for them...
They need to start trying them as adults when it ends up the victim commits suicide or at least put them in Juv Hall for an extended stay. Bet it will change things.
In my opinion, the schools DO take bullying serious and they DO something about it. The problem is what they do. My grandson is in middle school and had to change schools halfway through the school year. Within 2 weeks we were hearing about issues with a kid in his class. Finally, last week the 2 boys met in a bathroom and got into a fight. Both boys were suspended for 2 days. We cooked my grandson a celebration dinner and told him we were proud of him. This zero tolerance bs is ridiculous. No other group that is being preyed upon is expected to submit and roll over whimpering. Self preservation dictates that we do what we have to so we survive. My grandson had better NOT bully anyone but if a bully comes at him he knows to take up for himself and if there are consequences he knows his family will support him. SCHOOLS: stop punishing kids for taking up for themselves. Our judicial system has rules and laws to protect a person's right to defend themselves. Here we are telling kids they don't have the same protections grown ups have. Oh, it makes your job easier as all sides get punished but you are punishing the bullied kid a 2nd time and leaving the kid who fears being called a snitch with no justice at all. Your system does not work!
The bully needs to be held accountable, all bullies should

There is no room in this world for bullies .My son was bullied and I am lucky he is still here .The bullies should be held accountable for their actions and so should the parents .These bullies have destroyed this little boy’s family for ever .They should be punished severely for their actions
The thing that hurt to hear the most was
"He tried to go around it and try to find out the best way to make him his friend."
"Bullying builds character..." no, it breeds trauma and mental illness.
Bullying never stops either. You'll encounter them as bosses, teachers, partners, friends, colleagues....
exactly.. I always hate when people say it ends the moment you leave high school.. if anything, it gets worse, you just learn how to deal with it
Especially when it happens to people, who didn't do anything to deserve it.
There's no benefit to this.
All it does is reward somebody for bad behavior.
And a kid who actually had potential doesn't get a chance to succeed.

What is wrong with us??? Thank you for being a great parent!
I was always bullied bc I'm small, the only thing made it stop was being violent towards my bullies.
When I was bullied as a kid the teachers knew it and did nothing. My father told me and showed me how to stop it.
As a mother I can’t imagine her pain. When you have your baby as you look at them and their so innocent you can’t imagine them going through pain or someone hurting them. My heart goes out to baby Drake and this mom. We need to raise our kids to be kind to others.
This has broke my heart more needs to be done about bullying
How I hate bullies!
When I was in elementary school, I was bullied for 3 years. I tried to defend myself once and ended up suspended for a week. I tried speaking about it to the teachers and principal and always got told “there’s no evidence.” I thought about suicide more than once, but what kept me from committing it was thinking the pain I would cause my mom. It makes me so sad that after 20 years nothing is being done.
The teachers had the AUDACITY to ask you for evidence of BULLYING??! AND GETTING SUSPENDED FOR DEFENDING YOURSELF??!!! Sue the school. End of statement
Yeah in middle school I thought about it a couple times, but was never really serious about though. The main thing keeping me from thinking about more and more seriously is thinking of the pain it would cause to my mom and brother.
My husband beat up his bully back in time and he was punished for it not the bully🤷🏼♀️
i went through the same thing.. my teachers told me that it wouldnt affect/matter in the future when im older and that ill be laughing at it. they treated us like adults with no emotion. (even tho we were in grade 6-7) im now 18 and still suffer from it. the fact that they needed evidence to do anything about it is down right wrong. wish schools dealt with our stuff differently.
I too was viciously bullied as a child and teen because I have a form of dwarfism and look different. Even some of the teachers bullied me. Nothing was ever done and the "blame" for the bullying was always placed on me (the victim, sometimes even by family). I was bullied in every way possible, from beatings to name calling to being shunned. I kept to myself just to try to stay safe and sane, but I often thought of suicide and even planned several times to do it. Luckily music and performing in youth orchestras sustained me, but it was very close.
