A mother recently had her 11 year old son attempt to take his own life, all because the son told his school buddies he loved "My Little Pony" and of course he was endlessly bullied for it by his classmates. Now we all can agree that suicide is a bad thing and my heart goes out to the parents in this situarion, but this entire episode begs the question:
Why the fukk is the mother encouraging her SON to watch "My Little Pony?" I'm sure this is the same parent that will let her son wear a dress on some "Its what he wanted to wear" and act as if she has no influence on his decision making. I know in liberal land everyone is allowed to do what they want, without any judgement from others, but the reality is that the real world doesn't work that way. Especially the world of children. They're not trained to be nice and accept everything as normal. The mom should know this and prepare her son better to handle these environments.
Ah well, ya'll think i'm being overly harsh here castigating this woman? What say ya'll.

Mom Of Michael Morones, 11-Year-Old Bullied Over 'My Little Pony,' Speaks Out On Son's Suicide Attempt
Tiffany Morones-Suttle faced every mother's nightmare in February when her 11-year-old son Michael Morones attempted suicide after classmates bullied him for loving the cartoon "My Little Pony."
Morones-Suttle joined HuffPost Live's Ahmed Shihab-Eldin to share her story on April 14, hours before Broadway Battles Bullying, a star-studded concert in Morones' honor featuring Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Mary-Louise Parker and more.
Morones' mother said the terrifying experience has taught her the importance of fighting for her child.
"Sometimes our kids think they're strong and they're tough and they can handle everything, but as a parent it's our job to say, 'You know what, this is something I get to handle for you,'" she said. "It's not fighting their battles for them, but it's showing them how to do it when they get older and they're equipped better to do that."
Morones is still struggling with the effects of his suicide attempt. Morones-Suttle said she recently met with a neurologist, who said her son may have "locked-in syndrome," which is preventing him from communicating.
Morones-Suttle got visibly emotional and she described the idea of having to plan her son's funeral, but now that the darkest moment has passed, she's focused on sharing what she's learned with other parents.
"I'd seen things in the news and read things, and I was like, 'Wow, how does a kid ever feel like that? And where are their parents, where are the teachers?' Then you're kind of thrust into the situation, [and you say], 'Oh, wait, I was there,'" she said. "You have to step back and realize that it's everybody together trying to make that change."
