What is this world coming to???

15-year-old Audrie Pott was raped by three teenage boys last September after becoming intoxicated and unfortunately unconscious at a friend's party.

And while the rape is bad enough, the boys who attacked Pott took pics of the sexual abuse and then put 'em on the internet for all of the San Francisco Saratoga High School to see.

After the horrid event went down, the teenager took to her Facebook to write:

"The whole school knows…. My life is ruined."

And eight days after the rape happened, Audrie took her life by hanging herself.

This is incredibly sad.

Joel Morales, a 12-year-old boy from Harlem, committed suicide after kids at school bullied him about his height and intelligence.

His mother found him hanging from a shower rod in the bathroom on Tuesday night.

He did not leave a note.

A close friend of the young boy said that only hours before his death Joel had mentioned he was "tired of being bullied."

Here's what the deceased's sister said:

"I know in my heart it was bullying that made him do it."

Another tragedy such as this only further entrenches our belief that not only does bullying need to eventually end, but it needs to happen sooner rather than later.

Otherwise it is inevitable there will be scores of other Joel Morales's who feel the only way to end the pain of bullying is by ending their precious life.

Remember Perezious readers, if you're ever feeling emotional distress, make the call that can change UR life to the National Suicide Hotline at 1-800-SUICIDE or 1-800-784-2433.
