Sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me, may need to be updated. I cry in my coffee this morning.

Schoolboy, 15, jumped to his death after rumors he was gay
A Gloucestershire teenager jumped to his death after rumours circulated that he was gay, an inquest has heard.
Dominic Crouch, 15, a pupil at St Edwards School in Cheltenham, threw himself from a six-storey block of flats last May after returning from a school trip.
An inquest in Cheltenham heard that pupils played spin the bottle on the four-day art trip and there were rumours that Dominic had kissed a boy.
His parents said he appeared happy when he returned from the trip but just days later, he left school at lunchtime to go to the block of flats where he got to the roof via a trapdoor.
Notes were found in his pockets apologising to his parents.
Dominic’s family are raising money in his name for the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund which supports children in South Africa.
