“I’ve never had any kind of problem with anything,” says Elijah Burleigh, a senior at Paris Gibson Alternative High School in Montana. The openly gay 17-year-old is “thriving,” the Great Falls Tribune tells us, with Elijah making friends left and right — even overcoming drunk and alcohol abuse to form a great relationship with his mother! I just hate it when I see Focus On The Family’s pro-bullying agenda failing.

I’d comment fully but the Great Falls Tribune won’t let me read the other 4 pages of the article. The 1st page and the pics with captions are nice however.

@B2010:
The first page was great; youre right–I didn’t expect to see that in Montana.
I had the same problem getting past page 1 too, but thought maybe it was just my java script being cranky!

“Drunk and alcohol abuse” is awesome.

I’d rather be bullied (as I was) and overcome it to become the person I am today, thento cope with a “drunk and alcohol abuse” problem and mother issues at the age of 17. Sorry. I really don’t think this is anything to be proud of. (And yes, I know I ended a sentence with a preposition.)
