From the starobserver.com.au, we learn that Tyrone wanted to be a vet or designer when he grew up. That statement alone made me tear up.
AUSTRALIA is reeling over news a 13-year-old took his own life after he was allegedly bullied about his sexuality.
Brisbane year seven student Tyrone Unsworth died on Monday after he allegedly suffered years of homophobic bullying by other children.
His mother, Amanda Unsworth, told the Courier Mail, that she believes the bullying could be responsible for his suicide.
“He was a really feminine male, he loved fashion, he loved make-up and the boys always picked on him,” she said.
Tyrone’s mother and his grandmother Twiggy Jones described him as a happy-go-lucky child who always seemed happy on the outside, but was hiding his inner turmoil.
He wanted to become a vet or designer when he was older and his favourite saying was “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me”.
“Obviously they ended up getting him,” Unsworth said.
Tyrone was hospitalised a month ago for serious injuries he suffered during a violent altercation with another student from his high school. After the attack he was too afraid to go back to school. – starobserver.com.au
