This article is about a gay boy assaulted in Ohio. The boy was a 15 year old high school attacked by one of his peers. This happen October 17,2011. Names are not mentioned in the article but the attacker was waiting for the boy with other students. The boy asked what was wrong, what he did and tried to get away but the attacker repeatedly punched him in the face. Students stood and watched no one helped him. The attacker broke TWO of the boy's teeth and may have suffered a concussion. The attacker was only suspended for THREE days.
This article caught my attention but this was just LAST year. It's so sad that people have to hide who they are just to pretext theirselves from bullies. I can relate to Matthew because he was attacked and killed because he was gay. He didn't bother anyone but because he preferred something different he was judged. And just like Russell Henderson watched, the students in this Ohio HS watched this boy get attacked by a peer.
