A 17-year-old senior at Valley High School in Arizona, posted an extremely sad tweet on Saturday afternoon, July 13th, before taking his own life. The teen, named Carlos, was a victim of bullying and transferred from Los Lunas High School to Valley High to escape that in the first place; however, it simply followed him as he moved on.
Carlos was gay, and this made him a repeated target for bullies. His mother, Jacqueline Vigil, was absolutely heartbroken about her son's passing and released a statement expressing her despair and also revealed some of the bullying that Carlos was a victim of.
"My son, he didn't deserve this ... He is not here because of bullying. It drove him over the edge. He had this lunchbox, a smiley face lunchbox, and people thought it was the funniest lunchbox ever, and they made fun of him for it. They grabbed it on the school bus and just threw it on the floor and broke it. It's just little things like that."
