That was so awkward I didn't even watch the whole thing o_o
sure the video was uploaded...but it WAS live at one point....that's the nature of these things
also, people committing suicide because of school is retarded. they need to suck it up, or seek help if it's really that bad. i was bullied..hell most kids are bullied. also i barely hear about kids killing themselves on the news...because it's rare....and the fact that homeschooling is so rare means you can't compare the two easily.
Why would you want to go to school an be bullied anyway, when you can stay in the comfort of your own home away from the scumbags? Why would you want to follow their curriculum, when you can study those subjects, an a wider variety of subjects at home? An don't assume it only happens when you see it on the news. Plus, whether somebody goes as far as killing themselves or not, the fact it can make people miserable is bad enough. Most people hate going to school, an it would be better for those people to be homeschooled.Quote:

Why would you want to take the easy way out, when the hard way gives you life lessons that you couldn't of learned taking the easy way.Quote:

I agree it does. But that's not always for the best. Schools are breeding grounds for unfavourable behaviour.Quote:

Also, I'm 70% sure that boy has Austism.
But isn't that just experiencing the outside world at a younger age. The world is a breeding ground for unfavourable behaviour, but you just to have to step up and take it like a man.Quote:

And they begin whining the moment you try to slap some sense into them.Quote:
