13 Year Old Boy Commits Suicide After Homophobic Bullying, Just 1 of 3500 LGBTQ+ That Do So

Описание: A 13-year-old boy in France named Lucas died by suicide last Saturday, January 7 after facing anti-LGBTQ+ bullying at school. People close to his family say that the school did little to stop the bullying.
The French magazine Têtu reports that the student at the Louis Armand de Golbey middle school in the Vosges department was out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community.
As per a family friend, “He was constantly harassed for the way he dressed, his mannerisms, his presence. He didn’t hide himself and that bothered some people. He was always pleasant, caring, spontaneous, full of dreams and a life.”
Valérie Dautresme, the academic services director for the National Education System in the Vosges department said in a radio interview, “There’s really a lot of emotion from adults who didn’t see anything, didn’t see that Lucas wasn’t doing well recently.”
Dautresme said that Lucas and his mother reported homophobic insults since the start of the school year in September at a parent-teacher meeting.
She claimed, “For us at this point, the situation had been resolved. Lucas said that things were working themselves out and that he was no longer being insulted at school.”
However, Stéphanie contradicted Dautresme’s claim and said that Lucas complained “again and again and again. His mother asked for help several times. The school, where he spent three-quarters of his time, didn’t react.”
