Brony Takes His Own Life Due to Online Bullying

I knew something like this will happen….  
Article here.
 
 
Especially for a person who sees every Brony as a kin, this is saddening and despicable on the trolls and bullies’ part. My condolences to Adam Smith and his family and everyone affected by this tragedy.
 
And I pray for Justice for this innocent soul.

@SeraphimDawn  
I watched his video and cried.

I hope they identify and catch those responsible.

A link to that video would be much appreciated, if it still exists somewhere

@Gentlecolt  
I just went to check, in the past two days the video and channel were removed.

@SeraphimDawn  
Yes it’s heartbreaking, when I heard what happened to Michael Morones I felt anger towards the bullies and the schools especially the teachers who not only accepted the bullying. But advocated it to “toughen” up the kids.  
I too suffered from bullying and and have tried to take my life multiple times. I don’t know if I’ll be here the next day either but I try to help others who are in the same boat as me.

@Horseman7  
We must not let this guy’s death go in vain. We must become a stronger fandom.  
People need to be stronger. Bullies be judged.

instead of hastening the inevitable, learn to appreciate the bad feelings. Or dont, I dont see how it makes any difference in the long run (how you live, how you die)

@SeraphimDawn  
There’s only one person responsible for a suicide.

@Questionmarktarius  
Which one and who?

For those who don’t get why people dislike Diamond Tiara and say “she’s just a kid”, just look at this thread.

@Psyga315  
oh, yes. Fuck the kids

@SeraphimDawn  
Yeah… how could this happen to someone as young as him? I cried reading the report…

How can people be so insensitive..?  
It’s disgraceful.. he didnt do anything wrong.. theres nothing wrong with being a Brony or having disabilities.. it wasnt his fault!!  
If only they could find the bullies…

@QuintusPeregrinus.  
I am so annoyed when people post comments like “Omg my eyes are burning ur story sux” because it’s so hurtful, and this is proof.:(

@Background is Best Pony  
I’ve had people saying “OMFG u fuckin suc. Ur sutch an idiot!” to me, but that’s fine because I can put up with it… but this young lad… he couldn’t. He had problems with long term memory and speech, poor kid… people were saying mean things like “Uh… no offence, you shouldn’t skip English at school dude” on his videos. :(

@Lieutenant Bean  
These people are such idiots. I wonder how they feel now.

@Background is Best Pony  
Criticism should always be welcomed. But baseless attacking and insults are where shit crosses the line, totally unnecessary.

@SeraphimDawn  
Yeah.

I’m trying to find this guy’s work and videos, but apparently, Youtube and Tumblr think they’ve gotten thirty years in the past and decided to act accordingly to the year, since his accounts are all gone, as if there never was an Adam.
 
Kind of irritates me a bit since I can see it as them spitting in his face, but I do understand the circumstances of why they’d close the accounts… Or maybe Adam closed them himself.

@Psyga315  
They were closed after he died. I was fortunate enough to watch his suicide note video… Well, not fortunate, but I was able to see a little bit of him personally, and the I cried.

@Background is Best Pony  
Reading that I cried…

@Lieutenant Bean  
I’m sorry I made you cry. :( This whole thing is just depressing.

@Background is Best Pony  
It’s alright. :(
