Parents kick out 14-year-old girl for being bisexual. Girl shoots herself in the head.
Normally I’m not one to point a finger and blame somebody for a suicide, but I can’t help but feel the parents could have prevented this.
Taylor Jo Doherty, 14, was ridiculed by her classmates for being bisexual.
When she confided in her mother and father about her bisexuality, they disowned her and kicked her out.
Taylor left class, went to get a gun and shot herself.
One of the roles of being a parent is to be there when things get rough for your kids. Not to kick them out on the street.
