Comments: The story about Ryan is one that most people, if not able to relate to, can at least understand. The pain Ryan went through is something i can relate to and was something i took to heart and made me think about how i would react if something that horrific happned to me or someone close. If i lost the person closest to me right now i would not be able to cope with the aftermath.

Because he was being bullied and nothing he did or said, no matter who he turned to, it wasn't getting better. Please take this seriously and think about what you say to others. It makes a difference.

of your son,Ryan.Sometimes things happen and are inevitable.I ask myself why
schools did not try to stop bullying before it was too late. Iam happy yet sad
that schools are trying to stop bullying,but maybe it's too late for some
people,it's too late to move on. Ihope that maybe you can come to my school

Comments: The video of your family was beautifully put together and is an honor to Ryan and to your family. I was particularly moved by the fact that Ryan's birthday is the same as my daughters (different years) and made Ryan's story all the more hardhitting.

Comments: I can't even imagine living through the loss that you have had to endure. I know that Ryan is proud of you because you are turning this tragedy into something positive. Making other parents more aware of the signs is truly a blessing to us; so we may never have to live through what you did. You are a wonderful strong person

I am a doctoral student and have been researching bullying for the past four years. Your son's story put a child face on the scientific work that I do. Thank you!

I've thought of a career in education and do teach a nursing lab class in a college.
