I know how much everyone hates anecdotal evidence, but I'd like to share my story anyways.
I went to High School with this one guy; I didn't really know him nor did I ever talk to him, but I knew who he was. One day I went to school and overheard on the morning announcements that he had passed away. I didn't know that he was sick, but it was sad nonetheless. I get home and take a quick look at the newspaper and it turned out he'd committed suicide. This was quite a shock to me and his family. It turned out he was constantly bullied by one kid because he was gay. He outlined all of this in his suicide note to his family that he left in the tree house in which he leapt from. After about a week, I was looking at the paper again and it turned out the bully was suspended for not standing for the memorial silence my school had the day after his passing.
Why did he hate him so much? I don't really know exactly. It didn't seem like he could have done anything that serious enough to the bully to warrant a constant lashing.
