Los Angeles, CA(Hollywood Today)11/22/11/—Max, age 16, a sweet and gentle boy, was a victim of a bullying incident on November 16th 2011. During his Physical Education class on school campus he was assaulted and severely beaten. He has 2 broken cheekbones, a broken nose and will permanently loose 2-6 teeth. About an hour after the incident the bully posted on Facebook bragging about breaking a white boy’s nose and it killed me to see the amount of “likes” he got on this. Only one person asked if he was sorry… it breaks my heart. Please help me to raise money needed to help with Max’s medical expenses. While steps are being taken legally it will take time…he is in urgent need of surgery and he has no medical insurance.

Hi Max, I am friend and art dealer for your aunt Sylvia. I was saddened to hear about your experience and, at the same time, proud that you had a voice and took a stand for your beliefs not knowing the outcome. I will pass this along for others to be aware of what is still a constant problem in this day and age. Best to you. One love, Helene xo

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself. Harvey Fierstein STOP BULLYING MAKE ALL INCIDENTS TRANSPARENT Too many people say “this is a ‘form’ of bullying” … or … “that was a “form” of bullying” … call a spade a spade … either it is bullying or it isn’t. BE STRONG. SAY IT.DT To Max and his family, May all your friends and family surround you with the love and support you need to rise above this…far above it. xo

All our Love
