Bullied Greensburg student takes his own life
A 15-year-old student at Greensburg High School took his own life after fellow classmates said he was bullied for being different.
He was a teenager who didn't quite fit in. His classmates said Billy Lucas was bullied for being different.
The 15-year-old never told anyone he was gay but students at Greensburg High School thought he was and so they picked on him.
"People would call him '*advertiser censored*' and stuff like that, just make fun of him because he's different basically," said student Dillen Swango.
Students told Fox59 News it was common knowledge that children bullied Billy and from what they said, it was getting worse. Last Thursday, Billy's mother found him dead inside their barn. He had hung himself.
Students said on that same day, some students told Billy to kill himself.
