(TRIGGER WARNING: suicide, anti-gay bullying)
Toronto students cheered, chanted and pledged to end school bullying at a raucous rally held at the Ricoh Coliseum on Thursday.
The day-long event featured 9,000 students from the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) and a series of motivational speakers, athletes and entertainers.
The rally was designed to spotlight bullying, much in the news following the death of 15-year-old Ottawa high-school student James Hubley. Openly gay, and tormented by depression and his peers, Hubley committed suicide on Oct. 15.
