A Buffalo-area teenager who uploaded an “It Gets Better” video in May in which he talked about being bullied for publicly questioning his sexuality has committed suicide, The Buffalo News reports.T
he newspaper reports that 14-year-old Jamey Rodemeyer, in two final messages posted online early Monday, said he really wanted to see his recently deceased great-grandmother, and offered thanks to Lady Gaga.
“He touched so many hearts, so many people,” his mother, Tracy Rodemeyer, tells The News. “I didn’t realize how many people he touched. He was the sweetest, kindest kid you’d e
ver know. He would give all his heart to you before he gave any to himself.”
In his video, which he uploaded onto YouTube in May, Jamey talks about being the target of hateful, anti-gay slurs, saying, “They’d taunt me in the hallways, and I thought I’d never escape it.”
“I virtually have no guy friends,” he says in the video, made at his home in Williamsville, N.Y. “I only have friends who are girls.”
But Jamey clearly intended the video to be upbeat, and talked about how much support he had gotten after he “came out.”
“Love yourself and you’re set,” he says, looking into the camera.”I promise you, it will get better.”
