Garyn Strong - A victim of Bullying in Louisiana

Garyn Strong, age 15, died on January 17, 2014, at his home in Galliano, Louisiana.

Garyn committed suicide by hanging. His loved ones found him in the kitchen of their home.

Family members state that this boy had been tormented and harassed for the past four years. This must have begun when he was 11 years old.

Family members said that Garyn was called gay and fat by his school mates. They harped on it and brought him down to despair. When you are a teenager, words of derision can be like drops of poison.

Garyn attended South LaFourche High School.

Family members fear that now that Garyn is gone, the bullying will be directed to

Saint Bernadette of Lourdes, who said
"I am ground like a grain of wheat",
pray for Garyn and for all who are
ground down by bullying.

someone else.

Were the nasty ass kids at South LaFourche High School raised by wolves? Duh? Do you have no sense of decency?

Grow up. In a few years you all will be working until death, getting married, having kids, buying property and trying to keep your job and your head above water. Being a smart ass bully won't mean much to you then. You will be worried about your own kids and who is bullying them.

Family members state that they will forever miss and mourn Garyn. He was his father's buddy, his fishing and hunting partner and his father's son. 

Garyn is survived by many loving friends and relatives including his father and mother, Thad and Maureen Strong. 

Pray for all who are troubled and tormented unto death.

Pray that Garyn is in heaven. Pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
