In North Carolina a 9 year old boy named Bruce Grayson was being bullied for carrying a My Little Pony backpack. In response to the bullying his school has asked him to just leave the backpack at home to stop from being attacked. “They're taking it a little too far, with punching me, pushing me down, calling me horrible names, stuff that really shouldn't happen” he said.
Schools officials said that Bruce should “immediately address a situation that had created a disruption in the classroom” which is a nice way of saying “kid, if you leave the bag at home you'll stop getting your ass kicked.” His mother, Noreen Grayson, says that the school needs to punish the kids that have been bullying her son.
A couple of months ago an 11 year old
boy named Michael Morones tried to kill himself after being bullied
for liking the My Little Pony cartoon. His mother Tiffany
Morones-Suttle says that her son loved to dance and was energetic,
which she believes may have been one of the reasons why he was
bullied.
His mother found him hanging off the
side of his bed from the railing. By the time his parents got him to
the hospital he had been hanging for so long that too much oxygen had
been cut off from his brain and he was now brain damaged.
