A New Zealand teen who had been home schooled gave a weird anti-gay rant recently.

They claimed that if same-sex marriage were made legal, that ducks could take over the world.

What?

We don't even know how to respond to that.

Even though it's only a myth that North American praying mantises are endangered that still doesn't mean you can mess with them.

This meanie was harassing an innocent praying mantis.

It was just trying to hang out, probably looking for some bugs to eat, when this guy came up and started messing with it.

Well this guy definitely gets more than he bargained for when the mantis goes into attack mode!

Check out the video (above) to watch a mantis defend itself!

We were so deeply moved by the above video, of 14 year bullying victim Jonah Mowry bravely sharing his story with the world. Not just recounting how difficult it has been for him but also revealing how strong he is and how much he has to live for! That optimism in the face of adversity is so inspiring!

Jonah and his video really shook us to the core of our being and we took it upon ourselves to post it on ALL our websites, our Facebook, our Twitter - and we even Tweeted it to just about every celeb we followed!

The amount of support Jonah has gotten is overwhelming!

He has given the world a great gift with this poignant video!

And, he HAS saved the lives of other young souls who will hopefully follow his lead and stick it out! Suicide is NOT the answer!

We are very happy to report that Jonah is doing very well and happy!

He has this YouTube channel where he's been having fun lipsynching to some of our favorite artists, goofing around in other vids, and just being the very special kid he is.

We've also been chatting with Jonah on his Twitter account and through DM. He is so touched by all the love being sent his way. He tells us he is truly in a much better place. Happier and with friends that care! Plus, he is also getting some counseling - something we'd recommend to anyone going through difficult times.

The internet can oftentimes be a big bad thing. But, in times like this, it can be quite beautiful!

We also invited Jonah to our birthday party in March (all expenses paid by us) and we can't wait to meet him and for him to enjoy all the cool performers and get to meet all the celebrity guests! It should be some much-needed major fun! Because that is what life is all about - having fun! And sticking around long enough to enjoy all the fun to come!

Life is not fun every single day. But it is a great gift and you are special! Know that!

Share Jonah's video with your friends!

It gets better! It really does!

After being attacked by a shark, a teen lost his leg.

His amputation above the knee forced him to get a full prosthetic leg.

But it wasn't enough for the formerly athletic teen.

So he started working with a scientist who was designing a robotic leg.

Check out the above video to learn more about this inspirational story.

This makes us sick.

Jason Trevor Godsiff, a 19-year-old New Zealand man, was convicted of wilfully mistreating protected animals.

While returning home from work one day, he stopped by a colony of seals and beat 23 of them to death with a metal pipe.

He said it was because he thought they were “being pests.”

Disgusting.

Some of the seals were newborn pups.

A rep from the department of conservation said:

"This is a callous and cowardly attack on seals, especially newborn pups, unable to defend themselves against someone striking them with a bat or similar club-like object.”

We agree 100%.

We hope the sociopath fries.
