Send a brother some love....help stop bullying

I'm so sorry to hear this, I was bullied a lot as a kid and understand this issue far too well.

so so so so sorry

So sorry for your family's loss, Mark. 

I'm glad you had the courage to share this here so the community can offer support and better understand the challenges that face young people and others.

So incredibly saddened and angered at the news of this.
My heart goes out to the family and friends.
RIP Ronin.

I know the pain in my heart from hearing this tragic news must be but a mere fraction of the grief you & your family are feeling. So sorry for your loss. I hope the honoring of young Ronin's life can bring some peace & comfort to you.

My condolences to the Shimizu Family

My deepest condolences to you and your family Mark. This is the hardest thing to deal with in life, losing a love one. Take care Shimizu Family.

Opening and reading the links shook me to my core. I would hope in light of such a horrible loss we would all take it upon ourselves to identify, and step in when we witness bullying. It is not just a school administrator's job. I am sure other adults knew about this behavior but did nothing. Tacit approval to the children involved. These type of issues will not stop until all of us loudly say it is wrong any time we witness it. 
God Bless you Ronin, you deserved better.

My condolences to the Shimizu Family.I am a father and I know the pain must be unbearable. I am thinking good thoughts for them and hoping they will be ok somehow.

Kids can be such assholes. 

My condolences.  What a loss.
