Tween Star: “This is what verbal harassment can cause”

demi_lovato

VIEWPOINTS — Disney sensation Demi Lovato, who’s touring this summer with Idol pixie David Archuleta, gives a nod to school tormenting … via Twitter, of course: “This is what verbal harassment can cause. Something Has to be done. It honestly amazes me how schools refuse to take action in verbal abuse… they Say they do, but this (is) what ends up happening. So, so sad. I can’t explain what I went through when I left public school to start homeschooling. One day I will. But right now… Just know what you say to someone can effect (sic) them for the rest of their life.” [IMDB]

What exactly is she supposed to be talking about? The suicides? Kids bringing gun to school? It’s not clear…

On her Twitter page it’s broken down into 4 separate updates. Also, after she says “THIS is what verbal harassment can cause” she places a link to an article CNN did about Jaheem Herrera.

Would that be the verbal harassment homosexual bigots engage in against Chrisitian beliefs?

I agree, heterosexuals need hate crime laws to stop intolerant, narrow minded, Christian bashing homosexual bigots from taking away our civil rights.

Would someone please ban heterodefenseassbag from this site. It’s one thing to talk shit about us(we’re adults who can stand up for ourselves) but to trivialize kids who are literally being harassed to death is disgusting.
