This kid actually KILLED himself, because he could no longer stand it anymore, from Yahoo!News…
A 13-year-old Staten Island boy took his own life on Thursday after students at the private school he was attending bullied him mercilessly, his family said on Friday.
and here’s a picture of this young boy…and, you still can’t see the pain behind that smile of his either…
Danny Fitzpatrick wrote a letter before his death that described the ordeal of dealing with bullies at Holy Angels Catholic School.
Modal TriggerIn his note, Fitzpatrick writes that the school ignored his complaints.
“He bullied me,” Danny wrote about one of his former friends. “They did it constantly until I went into a fight.”
and, here’s the teen’s suicide note…
Danny describes in the letter, which his family posted on Facebook, how after the scuffle, he fractured his pinkie, but the teachers refused to help.
“They didn’t do ANYTHING!” the boy pleaded in his letter.
“I wanted to get out — I failed but I didn’t care I was out that’s all that matters.”
The teen said his experience at the school had started out well, but became a nightmare once he began being taunted.
“At first it was good lots of friends, good grades, great life,” he wrote. “I moved and went back but it was different. My old friends changed they didn’t talk to me they didn’t even like me.”
After the fight that Danny said resulted in a fractured pinkie, he tried to tell the teachers.

The only person at the school to come to his aid, Danny wrote, was one teacher, but she couldn’t do enough.
“She was the nicest teacher,” Danny wrote. “She understood and did something but it didn’t last.”
A friend of the Fitzpatrick family said that Danny was indeed victimized by bullies, and said the teachers did not do enough to help him.
“Look at Danny’s smile,” the friend, Scott McGrath, wrote on Facebook. “Take a close look at his smile and think of how he was hurting, crying out for help and hiding his pain from all the bullying and fights.”
The Fitzgerald family was planning a funeral service for Monday at Harmon Funeral Home in West Brighton, and a GoFundMe page was set up to give him a “proper memorial to shine a bright light” on bullying.
Another kid gets BULLIED to death, and because he committed SUICIDE, nobody WAS charged, and, the teachers here are just so, ignorant, I mean, aren’t the teachers supposed to take care of their students, and NOT just YAP incessantly in those lecture halls, and, maybe this would’ve ended differently, had someone, ANYONE pay enough attention in time, but, no one did, which is why, this young man killed himself, to MAKE a statement…
