Lady Gaga Wants Bullying To Become Illegal After Jamey Rodemeyer Death(Video)
Lady Gaga has called for bullying to be made illegal after a 14-year-old teenager took his own life because he was being bulled.
Gaga turned to Twitter to rally a call for the end of bullying. In a series of tweets she wrote:
“The past days I’ve spent reflecting, crying, and yelling. I have so much anger. It is hard to feel love when cruelty takes someones life.”
“Jamey Rodemeyer, killed himself because of bullying,” she wrote linking to his “It Gets Better” video, “Bullying must become illegal. It is a hate crime.”
According to reports, Jamey was a Lady Gaga fan and had made a collage of himself at different stages in his life with Lady Gaga in the background. The 14-year-old had even written lyrics to one of Gaga’s songs on his Facebook wall on the weekend he committed suicide. “Don’t forget me when I come crying to heaven’s door, Rodemeyer wrote.
She added that plans were in place for her to meet US President Barack Obama to discuss the issue.
“I will not stop fighting. This must end. Our generation has the power to end it. Trend it #MakeALawForJamey,” she added.
