The brother of a San Antonio teen who took his own life after being bullied has posted an anti-bullying public service announcement on Facebook.
"I saw the pain in David’s eyes three nights ago as he was added to a group text only to be made fun of and kicked out two minutes later," Cliff Molak writes. "I spoke to him right after to comfort him and he didn’t even hear me. He stared off into the distance for what seemed like an hour. I could feel his pain. It was a tangible pain."
He continues, "The recent advances in social media have given our generation a freedom of which has never been seen before," but "there needs to be an equal expansion of personal accountability."
The eloquent message ends with:
"The only way to end the suffering in this nation whether it be from bullying or discrimination is not to highlight differences between groups of people, but to focus on the importance of accountability and ultimately character. The only way to heal this country and our communities is to accept and embrace the notion that we have to begin character building from the ground up before the elementary level or our society will never recover. The healing needs to start now before we fall even further down into the pits of evil. It is my dream for the healing of this nation to be David's legacy."
