An Ottawa city councillor says his gay teenaged son suffered years of bullying at school before he left his final thoughts on a blog post and committed suicide. Jamie Hubley killed himself after battling depression and harassment about being openly gay. He was 15.
At one point three years ago, he said Jamie was assaulted on a school bus. “Some kids held him down. They put three of those little flashlight batteries down his throat,” a teary Allan Hubley recalled. “They were attempting, if not to kill him, to injure him.” The death of the Ottawa teen is once again focusing attention on the issues of homophobia, youth depression and school bullying.
Before he died, Hubley posted a farewell to his family and friends on his Tumblr feed, which he had dubbed “You can’t break… when you’re already broken.” He wrote that his personal pain was too much for him to bear and he didn’t want to suffer any longer. “Im tired of life really. Its so hard, Im sorry, I cant take it anymore,” he wrote. “…Being sad is sad… I’v been like this for way to long.”
In a post from three weeks ago, Hubley wrote that he hated feeling like he was the only openly gay student in his school, A.Y. Jackson Secondary School in Kanata. He also said the medications he was taking weren’t working, nor was the psychological therapy.
His father said Hubley had ambitions, including as a talented figure skater. But he quit sport after being mocked for not playing hockey. Hubley also had some support at school, particular from a guidance counselor, as well as from family and friends.
But the taunting continued. Some students called him names, like “fag,” Allan Hubley said. “And he found that harmful.” Each year in Canada about 500 teenagers die from suicide.
The Hubley family is the second prominent family in Ottawa in the last year to lose a teen to suicide. Last November, 14-year-old Daron Richardson, daughter of Ottawa Senators assistant coach Luke Richardson, also killed herself after battling depression. In the case of Jamie Hubley, his father hopes that talking about his death may do some good.
“He had dreams and we want to help those dreams come true. So if by sharing our pain that’ll happen, then it’s good,” he said. “Our boy won’t be gone in vain.” Hubley’s family is asking anyone who wishes to make a donation to direct it to the Youth Mental Health Walk-in Clinic, where the teen had sought help.

This story has been getting a lot of press coverage lately. There's a risk that Ravi will be deported.

Rutgers roommate convicted for role in gay teen's suicide | Detroit Free Press | freep.com

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. -- A former Rutgers University student convicted Friday in the webcam spying episode that ended in his gay roommate's suicide could be headed off to prison in a case experts say stands as a tragic lesson for young people about casual cruelties and unintended consequences in the Internet age.

A jury found Dharun Ravi guilty of all 15 counts against him, deciding that Ravi not only invaded the privacy of 18-year-old Tyler Clementi and another man but also committed bias intimidation -- a hate crime -- by targeting Clementi because he was gay.

Ravi, 20, could get up to 10 years in prison by some estimates and could be deported to his native India even though he has lived legally in the U.S. since he was a boy.

The case stirred a national conversation about anti-gay bullying and teen suicide. It also illustrated the dangers of technology in the hands of people who have grown up with the likes of Twitter and Facebook.

"They don't feel like they're spying. It's just their own iPhone they're using, their own laptop," said Annemarie McAvoy, an adjunct professor at Fordham Law School in New York. "Hopefully, parents will use this as an example for their children."

Prosecutors said Ravi set up his webcam in his dorm room and watched live video of Clementi kissing another man on Sept. 19, 2010, then tweeted about it and excitedly tried to catch Clementi in the act again two days later. A half-dozen students were believed to have seen the live video of the kissing; no video was taken in the second instance.

On Sept. 22, Clementi threw himself off the George Washington Bridge.

At a courthouse news conference after the verdict, Clementi's father, Joe, addressed himself to college students and other young people, saying: "You're going to meet a lot of people in your life. Some of these people you may not like. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean you have to work against them."

Ravi's lawyers had argued at the trial that the college freshman was not motivated by any hostility toward gays and that his actions were just those of an immature "kid."

In letting the case go to trial, Ravi gambled and may have lost big. Months ago, he and his lawyers rejected a plea bargain that would have spared him from prison, and prosecutors even would have helped him avoid deportation.

The most serious charges -- two counts of bias intimidation based on sexual orientation -- carry up to 10 years in prison each. But legal experts said the most Ravi probably would get all together at sentencing May 21 would be 10 years. The judge also could give him no prison time at all.

The moral of the story is that when in North America, don't mess with gays.

When in Rome do as Romans do. Else come back.

When in Rome, do the Romans.





...and just make sure that they are not gay Romans.
