18-year old Transgender activist commits suicide

 A year after being voted homecoming king at East Mecklenburg High School in Charlotte, North Carolina,transgender youth advocate Blake Brockington has committed suicide ..

The 18 year old pictured above in 2014 told the Charlotte Observer in January that he never felt comfortable wearing dresses, even though he but was still forced to wear them.
“It didn’t make sense. I felt like a boy,
Brockington chose the name “Blake” because it sounded masculine and came to him in a dream. But his family didn’t take his transition well and he moved in with a foster family after he became open about his identity.He said...
“My family feels like this is a decision I made,They think, ‘You’re already black, why would you want to draw more attention to yourself?’ But it’s not a decision. It is who I am. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. 
He also said telling his family about being transgender was the hardest part of the transition.
 "That was single-handedly the hardest part of my trans journey,""Really hateful things were said on the Internet. It was hard. I saw how narrow-minded the world really is."

    All I can say in life we all have suicidal experience! I feel the pain of the young chap, if you really understand what it means for people to be against you would understand the pain the transgender went through. God word is the only solution when we are down. # It well but you know taking your life wasn't the best option# God love you most# -pSt.Chekeleke

    His decision to end his life, wasn't compelled . I feel no pity for him. He should go and explain to his creator about taking a life he never created..!!

    I don't just understand why anyone would take their life. Only cowards who are scared to face reality does it. I'm sorry but I just can't tell him to rest in peace.

    The personal battles that we fight in life should only remind us about our creator and draw us closer to HIM. In a world where people are so judgmental, only in God can we find solace. Suicide is never the answer. Adieu, sleep on. May God have mercy on your soul.
