Stars Come Out to Speak After Teen’s Suicide
After the suicide of Tyler Clementi, both Ciara and Ellen have spoken out about the tragedy in hopes that what they have to say may make a positive impact on someone else’s life before it’s too late.
In the wake of the incident, the R&B singer [Ciara] posted a video on YouTube in which she offered a message of hope for other vulnerable youths struggling with their sexuality.“You gotta know that your life is in your hands,” she said.
And Ellen had this to say:
“I am devastated over the death of 18-year-old Tyler Clementi. He was outed as being gay on the internet and he killed himself… One life lost in this senseless way is tragic. Something must be done. This needs to be a wake up call to everyone that teenage bullying and teasing is an epidemic in this country, and the death rate is climbing. We have an obligation to change this.”
Thanks to both for speaking out.
