Jamey Rodemeyer, from Buffalo, New York, cried for help online for months before his death and his family and friends said suicide was a popular topic with him.
He regularly posted about being bullied at school and how people would launch gay insults at him.
But what was worse for Jamey, was that when he wrote of his pain and frustrations and cried for help in his blog postings, students at his school started to bully him online.'JAMIE IS STUPID, GAY, FAT AND UGLY. HE MUST DIE!' reads one post.
Another read: 'I wouldn't care if you died. No one would. So just do it :) It would make everyone WAY more happier!'
On September 9, Jamey wrote on his Tumblr site: 'I always say how bullied I am, but no one listens. What do I have to do so people will listen to me?'
Ironically Jamey recorded an "It Get Better" clip back in May.
I have not been able to watch the whole clip...at least not without crying. It's heart wrenching knowing what would happen to this perfect 14 year old boy in only four short months.

Congratulations again youth of America! You've proven just how progressive this country is and how loving your generation, like those who preceded you truly show your inner self. The blessings from ‘god’ upon your actions will no doubt go unpunished, while yet another victim of your kindness is buried six feet under. God bless America, land of the coward, and home of the bigot.
