No one understood why such a cheerful person would want to take his own life, but it was because bullies harassed him for months, and no one knew.

I want to create awareness of bullying against teens of all religions, race, and sexual orientation. Even with the various attention to bullying, the problem still persists despite the school providing awareness, students are still afraid to say anything.
