Poor Drake, to be so desperate at 12 years old to want to take his own life. My condolences go out to the Hardman family. I'm so very, very sorry for your loss.
@@vjs4539 stop spreading misinformation. If you check her Instagram, you'll see that it's all pictures of her family and hardly any of herself. Its painfully obvious she loves her family dearly. Oh, I forgot to mention the many memorial posts about the other losses the family has had to deal with this year already. Grow a heart.
Unfortunately, bullying isn't just a concept or a bad habit. Aggression against the weak is a biological part of nature that is shared by every classification of animal on the earth. It's in our DNA. It's in everything's DNA. It's not a matter of training the world to suit our children but the other way around. In other words; i blame the parents. Excepting cases of true mental illness, Until the age of accountability, everything a child does or fails to is also the parents doing and failing. I guess i just don't understand how all this can go on and the parents seemed unable to do anything or completely ignorant.
If you do not hold the bully accountable and get a lawyer and have him processed then you're telling other people they can keep bullying with no responsibility. For too long people have thought bullying is just character building. If we see a Bully, even a kid, go to JUVIE for Bullying to hold him responsible then other people will think twice before they abuse someone. Make a real change. Save someone else. The kindness message isn't going to change anything.
But this is the thing. Bullying doesn't magically end when you leave school. Adults bully in the workplace, in social circles, etc. How to deal with bullies will be a lifelong skill needed.
That’s right. Just imagine how bad bullying is now with social media. I was bullied bad in middle school and I think I would’ve made it if social media was around. Bullies need to be held accountable.
If your child comes to you and says their being bullied or being mistreated in school, Do something about it. The parents of these bullies need to be aware of their child’s behavior! Always tell your children don’t start the fight but if they hit you let them have it! They need to know you have their back and defending yourself is OK!!
Society has a big problem on it's hands at the moment. Way to many kids are killing themselves before they're even old enough to drive. Something is going very wrong and we need to figure out what.
Its the state of schools and the insane pressure placed on children every day. I remember being miserable in middle school and high school to the point where I had to start doing charter school because I was so anxious and depressed.
Bullying , social media, mental health problems are 3 big reasons why everything is going wrong in society. Bullying will never end because there is always going to be someone so miserable they want to make other people pay for their misery, social media just completely blinds and influences young people , and mental health problems will always exist.
Obviously everyone has their reasons as too why they do what they do but from what I've seen the majority of the problems are bullying from people close to them (family,friends etc) and social media.
Very sad situation that Drake felt this to be his only option at just 12 years old , breakes my heart and i didnt know him , all my thoughts to his family at such a sad time
It angers me and makes me sad to hear about children taking their lives because of bullying! The bullies, whatever age, needs to be dealt with harshly! 😡 The schools need to do better at handling those situations, as well as the parents of the bullies!!
Utterly heartbreaking. I've been in his shoes as a teenager and I know how he felt because I too attempted suicide so many times but something stopped me from dying and now as a mother hearing this story and knowing the family's pain it is just absolutely horrible. Lord, I pray for this family and all others who are dealing with something like this.
@@extraordinaryBBB HUH? Who TF you talking too you idiot? Can you read? I’m ABSOLUTELY disturbed 😦 by the fact our babies are seeking suicide… it’s a sign Society is Failing!!! 🤦♂️
This story makes me so sad. I have a son who has been suicidal and it’s so hard. So sorry for your loss. I pray parents talk to their children every day to check in on them. 🙏
@UC3ZUUWLIkMWK3cIYpCO8mcA absolutely! It’s hard being a parent but rewarding at the same time. I broke down when he told me how he was feeling cause I thought everything was ok. He’s now in therapy and was referred to a psychiatrist. I went ahead and put both my daughters in therapy just so they can have someone to talk to in case they don’t want to come to me for some reason. A safe word is a great idea! We’ll definitely have to come up with something like that. Thanks!
@Charles Sparkles thank you!! He is doing awesome so far after seeking help and getting on meds!! It gave me a reality check and to be more present in his life and not work so much. You don’t realize how much quality time means to people. Just a simple conversation!!
@@pumpkindiamond994 honestly it’s hard to not worry so much. He is in therapy (at school and sometimes they come to our home) and has been for a while now. He was referred to a psychiatrist and that was our help. He has a Dr that cares and is always a phone call/text away. I also make sure I’m checking in with his teachers and informed the school dean what’s been going on. He has built a great relationship since the awareness and I think that helps tremendously when everyone knows the awareness!!
Agreed! They need more than Rachael’s challenge, that is an amazing amazing program! These programs need the same support as anything else. Maybe get motivated and look into ways for you to help. You can do it, you sound motivated and smart. So jump in girl! You can do it! 🥰💗💖
@@tj6930 I honestly thought bout trying to go to schools and talk to them. Because I been bullied, I have bullied, and I tried committing Suicide 2 times.. I would love to get a group together to talk to schools. I remember a group coming to my high school and they had an album on those type of awareness
I'm here bawling for a child I didn't know. Just from his pictures you can see that he was beautiful inside and out. This fukking world man. Sometimes it's absolutely intolerable.
I hope the dispatcher has a couple sessions with a trained therapist. Call like that man, sticks with ya. Hope the family is getting the help they need as well
Please reach out if you need help or reach out when you know some is struggling. This is so heart breaking 💔 my son lost a best friend who was also 12 last year 💔 hold your babies tight and let them know they can talk to you life is too short. My heart goes out to this family 🧡
@Charles Sparkles every survivor of the golden gate bridge says the moment they jumped, it was instant regret. and that they're glad it didn't work and that their life got so much better. life is like a movie and maybe the future will be everything you dream of! how are you doing? hope you're ok now
As a former 911 call taker and dispatcher this is one of the most difficult calls to answer, the call taker did a great job. I hope she understands that she did everything she was supposed to. RIP Drayke.
Im so so heart breaking about Drake tragedy. My question is what is going to happen to the bully? Someone has the name of the school? We all should call the school, so they can take serious action against bullies.
Handsome boy, you had your entire life ahead of you! Your family misses you terribly! When you grew to have a career, a wife, children that bully wouldn’t have even crossed your mind! I was bullied through school because I was poor and couldn’t afford nice shoes or clothes, I couldn’t get my hair or nails done like the girls in class, I have a birthmark that goes behind my gear and partially down my neck and was bullied so much by kids saying it was marker and I was too dirty and poor to bathe 💔 as adults WE have to teach our children about the effects of bullying! And if the bullying continues we as parents need to protect our babies against this tragedy!
I can’t stand reading the comments that say “he had so much to live for!” Clearly none of you know the pain and suffering of depression. It is so selfish to want someone to stay here for you.
The depression was the result of bullying, not a mental condition the boy had, you do realize the difference. Plus, how can you say NONE of you know the pain, how do YOU know what others on here are, or have gone through. Maybe you should stop and reflect before spewing your own bullying words to others who mean nothing but kindness.
@Charles Sparkles You should speak to your parents about home schooling if this has gotten that bad for you. Time moves on and life I promise you does continue to get better, esp when they aren't in your life anymore. Their are solutions, and you should find people around you to help find the solutions for you, It's not embarrassing to speak about these things, because it's just way to common these days. I hope this finds you well and let me know if anything changes.
This is heartbreaking 💔 I'm so sick of kids bullying other kids! I feel parents of the bullies should be held responsible for the lives of the children that comite suicide due to their kids bullying them.
When i was twelve i was at the hardest year of my life and apparently so was he- i stayed holding on just barely enough to keep me going but he lost his grip he died before it could get better for him :/ rest in peace.
I remember wanting to die at his age. When you are the age youre at, you can’t conceptualize how young you are and how much things will change. I wish people could see into the future, then maybe more would stay.
So so sorry. If this helps, I feel things & know he is forever at peace & we will get to see our loved ones again. We can’t see that now but when we cross over all I can say is WOW. Think of it as another world but no judgement. When you need him just ask for a sign & trust me he will be there. His physical body was just tired but his soul is stronger than ever. I can only give you this to think about as you go though this world but I hope it help. Stay strong Dale
I know this comment will not change anything or bring Drayke’s life back but I wish he’s really happy wherever he is now. He deserves all the love and care in the world. I can’t imagine on his young age, he could’ve been have a great future ahead of him but these heartless people take that away from him. I shouldn’t have said this but I wish those people get the karma they deserved for the rest of their lives. I hope they will suffer for what they have done to Drayke.
Tragic situation. I just don’t understand why you would broadcast the call on the news…seems very insensitive to family who went through this so recently.
:( that's abuse. Not mental illness. Please, do not forgive his Bully. Seek Justice for the pain your son was in. If you for whatever reason could not protect him from the bully while he was alive, protect him now. Seek Justice. A lesson for every person who abuses other people. THAT is Justice for him. Hold the bully accountable.
Dear Media...everyone has mental illnesses as it is part of the human condition. Stop positioning it like it is unusual. Say, "when you or someone you know, are experiencing symptoms of mental illness, or distress, please seek"...then give resources and links to supportive care or services. Many children don't seek help as they aren't mentally mature enough to process what is happening. Mental illness needs a stigma shift so we stop labeling people experiencing normal but difficult emotions from feeling more isolated and labeled because of the way media and the world talks about it. Stop the stigma. Stop the labels. Start with the news outlets. Thanks so much!
The word “illness” needs to be dropped some places have started do it. Step out and educate some, yourself. You are smart and eloquent! Get motivated to do more, sounds like you have a voice for it. 🥰💕
Such a tragic story. He had a whole life ahead of him. Remember seeing a small post about this the day it happened and didnt think much of it, tuned in again a few hours later and learned he had passed. Then it hit me. Cant imagine how the Hardman family is feeling
This breaks my heart! So many of our Pre-teens and teenagers are taking their own lives. When a child is being bullied and they've repeatedly tried to get help for them to stop to no avail they resort to killing themselves. No one should ever ever be bullied. And we as parents need to step up and be their advocate. I'm so sorry for this family. No parent should have to bury their child at such a young age. Rest easy sweet boy.💙🥺😪
This is heartbreaking, he was so little and yet he felt this was the right choice. My heart goes out to his family and to all people suffering in silence.
When your kids tell too they are being bullied. Get them help, set them up with a counselor. Make sure they know you have their back. Keep following up with them. Become involved in the child’s classroom.
@Charles Sparkles There’s so many beautiful parts to this planet, beautiful oceans, sunny meadows, vast deserts along with really great people who you’ll meet, yummy foods to try and tons of fun to explore and you deserve all of the goodness that is coming your way. Keep finding things that make you laugh and feel happy. You will get through that feeling by talking with your family too. Ask them if they have ever felt like you. Let them help you.
@Charles Sparkles keep moving forward. It will pass. Think is it like this...If you wanted to play baseball but it was raining, would you quit baseball or just wait for the storm to pass?? Same thing. It’s only temporary. Better things are coming.
Sad to see a kid committed suicide. So much ahead of him. Whatever that is troubling him, I cannot imagine the pain it caused. Hope he found peace.
He was horribly bullied. Poor kid
He's at peace now. Being in this world will not bring peace
@@ambermalagoli3010 That would do it.

As a parent of 12 year old twins..I cannot even begin to fathom the pain the family is feeling right now 😢
That picture of him using his hand to shade his eyes from the sun, you can see the pain in that poor boy's eyes. 💔
So sorry for their loss.
I’ll never forgive this world for what it puts innocent children through. Rip angel.
*Another soul freed from this Insane asylum. Whos will it be tonight?* This place just isn't fit for sane minds
Too much suicide these days 😥
Imagine the mental anguish this bully will hopefully live with for the rest of their life. If they develop a soul.
Ugh he was too young! As a mom who has a son also, this is beyond any mothers worst nightmare. Rip little angel 👼
Only 12 years old, wow, must have been pain at school but also no empathy at home?
My heart is with the family. So tragic
When your kids tell too they are being bullied. Get them help, set them up with a counselor. Make sure they know you have their back. Keep following up with them. Become involved in the child’s classroom.
@Charles Sparkles There’s so many beautiful parts to this planet, beautiful oceans, sunny meadows, vast deserts along with really great people who you’ll meet, yummy foods to try and tons of fun to explore and you deserve all of the goodness that is coming your way. Keep finding things that make you laugh and feel happy. You will get through that feeling by talking with your family too. Ask them if they have ever felt like you. Let them help you.
@Charles Sparkles keep moving forward. It will pass. Think is it like this...If you wanted to play baseball but it was raining, would you quit baseball or just wait for the storm to pass?? Same thing. It’s only temporary. Better things are coming.
@CS prods hey I just seen this. How are you?
How do you help a child if you don't have a clue what they are feeling deep down inside . It is so so sad .
Bullied so much that he didn't want to live anymore. Very sad.
this makes me so so so sad 😞
