    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.

    I would be highly surprised if he didn't have aspergers. I feel kind of bad for him.

    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.

    You can learn that people are assholes without ever going to school. You don't need to learn that lesson over an over again for years. But then that's exactly what schools promote, time wasting.

    You can learn you social skills in school. You can develop those said skills in a home environment. When you step into the real world, you might not know how to respond to certain things. An example is the kid in this video, he doesn't know how to respond to the joke the anchor makes towards him.

    Being homeschooled doesn't mean avoiding the real world. You don't need school to socialise.

    But you can't say that school doesn't develop those said skills?

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

    Being exposed to unwanted behaviors is what teaches us how to deal with them. Not being exposed to such behaviors would not, uhh... I'm having a brain fart... it would not make them less. Or something.

    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.

    The way the majority of school children seem to deal with it, is to take the if you can't beat them join them route. So then they're all badly behaved. An that's not good.

    The problem there is, school children take it like a bunch of sissys. They act like a bunch of prats, an want to act all tough, an then when you right hook them, they play the feeble victim.

    I have to agree with you, there. Almost everybody in my grade (my twin brother being a shining example of this) seems to have a mindset somewhere along the lines of, "I'm in high school now, so I now have the right to blow an artery over nothing." And they begin whining the moment you try to slap some sense into them.

    But anyway, I have Asperger's Syndrome myself, as I've mentioned several times on this board. Judging from what I'm hearing, though, that kid either has a really bad case of AS, or it's coupled with something else, like how my Asperger's is coupled with hyperlexia.
