It is imparative that we teach our children to respect each other along with our differences that makes each of us a unique person. I feel so sad for the loss of this young person's life. Hopefully this tragedy will bring attention and awareness to the vital need for us all to practice mutual respect, which will help other young people facing similar hardships as those Larry endured.

I am so sorry for your loss.I think it is so crazy that this kind of bigotry and hatred still lives and is present in this country today, its 2008 when is it going to end.I think ellen degeneres was right we should be treated equally because we are not second class citizens..We Are FAB!. and again im sorry for the Kings loss, lawrence was brave. and he will never be forgotten!

I did not know Larry, and it is difficult to imagine the heartache felt by his loved ones. I believe his short life will be remembered and in the hearts of many. I know I will never forget him. My hope is that we all learn and teach the truth of love, compassion, tolerance, peace, acceptance, and forgiveness. It seems like Larry demonstrated that love and truth in his young life. I would like to live my life by his example. The hatred that Larry experienced could happen to any of our children. Larry inspires me to learn and appreciate love and peace. My heart goes out to all those involved.

R.I.P Larry always stand up for what u believe in you wont be forgetten <3

It is so terribly sad the world wasn't able to see the beauty in you.
God has a plan for all of us and I'm sure that He is now giving you all the love and acceptance you didn't have in this cruel and intolerant world. Rest in peace Larry.

My heart aches for what this young boy went through, day after day....What a torture to have to endure such harassment from bullys day after day....I know because it happened to me....I cried when I read his story and cried more when looking at the video...May God take care of him and cradle him in his arms......

I am saddened by the loss of this young life... my thoughts go out to his family and friends.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Sadly, I heard about your son on the "Ellen" show - I should have heard about it on the news or in the paper or from other people who had heard about it because it was important and people thought everyone should know.
There is no justice in a world where our children believe that they can solve problems through violence.
The loss of your son in the world means one less soul who can comfort another, love another, help another and live out the brilliance of his path.
Bless you all. My heart is with you.

I read the article about Lawrence this morning in the Sacramento and was saddened and appalled. The violence in our nations schools is disheartening. My prayers go out to the family and friends of young King. May God bless you as you seek to cope with this tragedy.
God Bless,
Amarachi

I have just called my daughter in to my room to read the article in todays Sacramento Bee in reagards to Lawrence King. I find it so terribly upsetting to see that children today are still hurting each other with words and then go to drastic measures and begin killing each other.
I try daily to explain to my children that there will always be someone in the world that's differnt from them and how to deal with it. It seems that the young man that killed Lawrence was not educated on differences in the world and how to adapt to change. Lawrence deserved a chance to live his life just like everyone else.
I praise his family for adapting to the life he choose for himself and I pray every day that our children grow up in a world that they can be heard, acknowledge and loved for who they are and who they will eventually become.
My love goes out to the family and to all of Lawrence's classmates. They will all need our love and support to make it through this horrific act.
