Parents Sue After Bullied Teen Commits Suicide via Jezebel The parents of a teenage boy who committed suicide after being targeted by bullies filed a lawsuit against district where he attended school, alleging officials knew their son was being targeted but did nothing to protect him. Matthew Burdette’s parents are suing the San Diego Unified School District after a video of the teen masturbating went viral, leading to severe bullying that caused their son to take his life. The Burdettes allege school officials at University City High School where Matthew,14, attended knew about the video and the bullying yet did nothing to intervene. Matthew killed himself during the Thanksgiving holiday in 2013. He left behind a suicide note for his family that shed light on the harassment he was enduring from classmates. “He said, I can’t do school anymore,” Matthew’s aunt Laura Burdette Mechak said to ABC 10. “I have no friends. I don’t want to kill myself but I have no friends.” After his death, family members turned to University City High School looking for answers. What could have happened at school to drive their son, a Boy Scout and member of the wrestling team, to kill himself? Mechak said school officials refused to give them any insight into what was going on with Matthew. “Kids came forward to help them figure out what was going on,” she told ABC 10. It was then that the family first became aware of the video. After months of investigating, this is what the family knows so far. On Nov. 15, Matthew was kicked out of a classroom for eating sunflower seeds. His teacher gave him no direction on where to go or what to do (she didn’t send him to the principal’s office; she just told him to leave the class). That’s when he went to the bathroom and reportedly began to masturbate in one of stalls. At that point, another student entered the bathroom and peered over the door. He used his phone to record Matthew masturbating. Video taping someone engaging in a sexual act without their consent is disturbing and completely horrifying on its own, but don’t forget this is the age where everything gets shared on the Internet. Sure enough, the student immediately shared the footage via Snapchat and other social media sites. That’s where Matthew’s nightmare began. I don’t think we have to explain that high school students and sexually explicit material are a bad combination which only seem to lead to brutal torment from teenagers. As you can imagine, Matthew was relentlessly teased about the video. Mechak detailed the extent of the teasing, which went way past a few schoolyard bullies. “It went viral. It went beyond his school,” she said. “It went to other schools in California. Kids in the neighborhood who didn’t go to Matthew’s school had heard about it and seen the video that was taken of him. After two weeks of the bullying, Matthew reached his breaking point. His body was found on Nov. 29.
A week after the hair-dragging heard around the world, the maligned Porsha Williams is breaking her silence about The Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion fight. The reality star is casting herself as the victim, not Kenya Moore … despite the fact that she by all accounts PUNISHED Moore and got arrested for battery. Her reasoning? Moore was doing the bullying. The Real Housewives of Atlanta Reunion Fight “I had regrets immediately after,” admits Porsha in an interview with Access Hollywood Live, but she says she was pushed to the brink by her nemesis: “I saw the hate. I saw the anger. I saw all of that in Kenya’s eye that moment. And I felt threatened, honestly I did, [the scepter] was a weapon.” That would be the prop Kenya Moore used to needle Porsha during the reunion, something Williams says she would never have done to a co-star: “For Kenya, this as a job. It’s a show to her; it’s just entertainment. She doesn’t take anything seriously. Here I am living this real life and here she is portraying one.” Williams argues, to that end, that she was bullied. “It’s not about team Porsha,” she says (and clearly Kordell Stewart agrees after watching this display), thanking fans but at the same time cautioning: Kordell Stewart on Porsha Williams “I appreciate the love, but understand the deeper thing going on here, it’s bullying. Bullying can happen as an adult, it can happen as a child, in college, or your work place, everywhere.” Do you agree that she was bullied? And does it justify her actions in any way that she was provoked, even if we don’t condone violence and snapping the way she did? Whose side are you on?

Wow. We don’t condone cheating, which this girl is apparently guilty of, but wow. Uncool as she is for doing that, the way she was exposed may be worse. Apparently, she was seeing two guys at once and one found out. Upset, he decided to call the other guy, to inform him what was up with “their” girlfriend. Understandable … but then it got a little weird. Cheating Girl Caught By Both Guys The two of them surprised her, confronted her on video in humiliating fashion, then shamed her for it. Repeatedly. Specifically, they called her a slut. A lot. The repeated, harsh name-calling combined with the fact that this was a premeditated confrontation that they shared on the web? Questionable move, guys. This was no heat of the moment thing. The desire for payback after being humiliated themselves, not to mention possibly heartbroken, can be understood. But does that condone their actions? You tell us: Did they go too far? Yes. That was cruel and over the top, no matter what she did. No. She had it coming if she was two-timing those guys! View Poll »
