Additionally, Brad Lewis tries to end bullying. Brad Lewis, father of Jordan Lewis, has been stated, "took to Facebook that night and posted a series of videos explaining his son's death and the events leading up to it." Due to these acts at school, Jordan, killed himself. His father's intentions are not to get vengeance, but to get justice for his sons and victims across the world being bullied.
Brad Lewis's son had loved football and also enjoyed playing it. Jordan Lewis, sophomore at Carterville High School, says, "You wouldn't understand, Dad," Jordan said. "I'm being picked on at school." His dad says that kids would push him into lockers and was hit at least once in the head by a football teammate, which lead to him quitting his first day of practice.
Many wonder what also lead him to killing himself. The day before his death, Brad Lewis reports, "At the end of the video, the kid that was being bullied went home and killed himself." Brad said that on Wednesday the day before his son's death, he had watched a video on anti-bullying at school. He had probably though that following in the kids footsteps would be the easy way out of his situation.
Personally, I have not been around or been friends with someone who has committed suicide. Although, some of my friends have been friends with a girl named Brylee Verser, who had committed suicide. Not because of being bullied, but of home troubles and boyfriend problems. Like Jordan she had no one there for her most of the time. Jordan's parents were separated like Brylee's. Her mom was always at her boyfriends like the mom of Jordan. Bullying, a subject that is not taken serious, leads to harmful punishment or even death.
To conclude, Bullying can cause harm to the innocent or even death. Bullying must come to stop and Brad Lewis agrees by making it public to the world and becoming closer to your child.
