My Daughters best friend has a son who has been badly affected by a terrible tragedy that happened at his school yesterday. He is 10. A boy in the next grade was found by his teacher after she went looking for him when he didn’t return from the bathroom. He had committed suicide with a knife and was already dead when his teacher found him. He was just 11. My God. What is happening to our children? Apparently he was being bullied. Please pray for his loved ones as they try and cope with this, his classmates and many others. Thank you.

Gracious and Eternal Father in heaven, we know that Your soul grieves with us over this terrible tragedy. We ask that You heal the wounds and comfort the sorrows. Strengthen them against the snares of the evil one, for in times like these weakness makes the grieving vulnerable. We ask of these things in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and savior, Amen
In agreement. Amen.
Thank you.
In agreement of this prayer…
I'll keep the family in my prayers. Bullying has been a long standing problem in schools. It's something that keeps happening that needs attention. But naturally, the schools and their teachers are more concerned with confusing kids about their gender and indoctrinating them with CRT and white privilege.
I'm on the fence, bullying is natural human behavior to an extent. The issue is "Nerds" have gone from being something you don't want to be called, to being trendy, which is why "they" continue to group everything in to "nerd" fandom. They want young men to be complacent with their identities as high school kids forever. Get enough nerds and anti bullying campaigns out there and you can guarantee young men will never take the true right of passage "to look inward." That is what is important. I was fat in middle school, and I was teased endlessly for it. Hell this one kid gave me a bra as a Christmas present one time. It hurt like hell, I cried, and my mother assured me that I was a good sweet child and I just needed to be a good person, but my dad. He looked at me and said I was being pathetic. He said that being a truly good person is looking in the mirror and either being prepared to accept the consequences of who you are, or changing yourself until you like who's in the mirror. I chose the latter, and it paid off. I got in the gym, ate healthier and was all of the sudden someone who was athletic, well liked and knew what it meant to sacrifice and persevere. Some amount of that is needed in society to let us grow stronger. That being said the real issue is the parents, they are either raising sociopathic douchebags who go way beyond "bullying." Or they are raising doormats who fall down with the slightest transgressions. It's hell out their for children now a days with the weirdos who raise them. Nobody seems to teach respect, honor, courage, or anything else that should be regarded as paramount when growing up. It's all either, be controlled by your desires, or take the easy way out. Both highly toxic and extremely narcissistic. Just like most couples it seems.
Not all kids are physically capable of exercising themselves into heath.. Have a child with spina bifida, or one with only 20% vision, or cerebral palsy or any of hundreds of potential issues and your suggestion is to just look at yourself in the mirror and accept some bully beating the shit out of you? Bullying isn't a right of passage unless you promote it as such. Ever watch that show Bully Beatdown where they put bullies in a ring with pro MMA fighters? That's what should happen. Beat up the bullies like that to send a different message, there's always someone bigger and stronger than you, just like there are always people smaller and weaker. Accept that fact and stop thinking you can push yourself up the manhood scale by beating up or belittling anyone. I knew meathead bullies that thought they were all that. Some became addicts, one went to jail for wife beating, one was killed in a bar fight.
I don't see how anyone could be on the fence with bullying. Want to be a better man? Be taught how to help out the less fortunate. Have too much testosterone in your system, go beat on a punching bag an hour a day but leave everyone else alone..
That's literally what I said but instead of kicking the bully's ass physically I did so by becoming better than them. You can't stop how people are going to feel about you. Regardless of if you beat them up. They are still going to judge.
The schools have a message: Bullying is ok. Punishing bullies with pain is not.
Oh wow. I'm so sorry to hear this. My son's best friend killed himself when they were 15. He's 21 now and still suffers from it. Will definitely pray for all those sweet babies.
So young. How are children this young being subjected to ideas of committing suicide??
I think it's all the subtle satanic crap everywhere. But that's just me.
I think you’re right. When I spoke to my Daughter, I said that when she was young, I wouldn’t let her ‘stay over’ at a friends house until around 8yo. I remember she stayed over for the first time at one of my best friends homes. I knew this family, we did things together with ‘our girls’, but my friend indulged her daughter because from 6 weeks of age, she left her in the care of others and I was a stay at home Mum. She filled this child’s life with the latest videos, toys etc. My Daughter was in awe every time we visited. My daughter loved cats and wanted a kitten, but the timing was wrong as we were moving to an acreage and she would get her wish when we settled. This sleepover included the video ‘Young Einstein’. It was an Aussie movie, but there was a part where this baker gathered up these beautiful kittens and put them in a pie, then put them in an oven and turned up the heat. The kittens were meowing louder and louder. This was a G rated movie. My daughter was so upset and for a long time would bring it up. Liberal parents these days forget that their children's mind are so precious. They worry about what food to give them, what clothes to impress their friends, but allow them to watch things that are way beyond what their minds can cope with. If the Bible teaches us Adults to guard our minds, then this must include our children too. I have no idea what the answering is to bullying and we did experience it with our children when they got older, but we were strict in their early years with friends and where they went etc. so they recognised it early and we discussed it as a family for solutions. But 11?? It’s hit me hard as we have two beautiful granddaughters and I’m very mindful of what they watch when over which is most days. Thank heavens we can ‘take it to The Lord in prayer’.
I don’t think it’s actually very subtle anymore.
CRC and the Trans agenda may be a big factor.
Praying right now
Thank you.
11 year old actually kills himself with a knife? Not many people do that successfully. Somehow this kid figured it out.
It’s so hard to comprehend. The mental pain he must have been in is devastating to consider.
Weak parents breed weak children.
As does society as a whole.
Swipe to neck is quick...very brave for him to do it either way. God please take care of that poor soul. This is a huge unfortunate lesson to everyone.
Let’s hope there’s an investigation. I feel like it’s pretty difficult to kill yourself with a knife, but an 11 year old? If he was being bullied, maybe he was also attacked. There’s more to this story, and I’m for sure praying for his family. I can’t imagine living a more terrible nightmare.
Apparently the Police locked the school down immediately. The Police Station is just behind the school too. Our schools have very high fences and you just cannot wander in if you think it might have been nefarious.
Sending prayers to all affected.
Thank you.
I was bullied throughout school, even in college, and even by some of the teachers. But I never thought about suicide. I might have thought about getting even though. Perhaps young people are being fed these ideas. It needs to stop.
Oh my, so sorry to hear that. Prayers.
All affected will be in my prayers.
Prayers on the way.
Wow, I don’t even know what to say. The educational institutions are probably what caused it to be perfectly honest. Lord I just pray that you would be with the family at this time, and all the students at that school, and I pray it would be a wake up call for people to start spending less money on things, and getting their children into private Christian schools, or even private Christian homeschool networks.
Prayer sent.
Thank you.
🙏🏻
To all the parents out there, please get rid of your kids smart phone. Get them off social media. Get them out of public school indoctrination (homeschool if you can). Probably most important of all share the love of Jesus with them. Get them involved in a local youth group at church. Read the Bible with your kids every day, be an example to them. I am preaching to myself here to. It breaks my heart that every year it seems as if kids are committing suicide at a younger age than the last. I see to many suicide attempt children at work in the hospital.
Thank you! Everything you say is so correct. Society has taken the ability away from parents to parent. Our children are being taught by anti-family, anti-God narcissists that are more interested in grooming our children than teaching them. Get your children out of the school system now! It’s been a terrible day as I think of this young boy. What must his parents be going thru when you send your child to a ‘safe place’ but it becomes their place of torment. God give them strength.
I’ve found out more. Both his Mother and Aunt work at the school. In fact, his Aunt is a friend of my Daughters and had just returned from maternity leave. The school is fitted with an emergency system so when it is activated, the children know to get under their desks, the doors on each classroom are locked and shutters/curtains are lowered virtually sealing the children inside. They could hear the sirens and Police outside because I guess at this point you would expect someone had attacked him. For two hours they had to remain in this situation. My Daughters friend said her son is so traumatised with this ‘lock-in’. The child that killed himself turned 11 just last week. The school also has a therapy dog. The boys friends said he had been telling them he was going to do it, but they told no one. What a burden they will carry for the rest of their lives. Our children, our most precious gifts from God are being offered up as sacrifices for a very sick and evil society. One day we will find out what Q meant when he said ‘Watch the water’.
