Comments: Hi there, I was doing an assignment on cyberbullying when I read an article mentioning your son, which eventually lead me to reading his story on the internet. Although I'm halfway across the world in New Zealand, I felt really touched reading. I probably cannot comprehend the sadness for your loss, but seeing your campaigns in order to reduce these sad events which plague the world, really inspired me. Doing this assignment has been a good idea, and since visiting this website, has further convinced me that cyber bullying needs to be alerted more in my country, and amongst my peers. Thank you so much, Tina
Comments: Hi, I really can't imagine the pain that you and your family must be going through. I hate bullies and bullying full stop and if I could rule the world my first act would be to stop bullying. Since I don't rule the world and never will I can only wish...Your sons story touched me so much and made me cry. If only he knew how much he meant to people and if only even one person had been nice to him. Cause afterall it only takes one person to be nice to you to matter. I hope that he is happy and safe wherever he may be. God be with you.
Comments: You visited my schoolabout 4 months ago. I must say it was the most moving experience I've ever had. Everytime I watch something about Ryan I cry. Your an amazing man who I know will make a difference. Ryans death was tragic and unfair. But he will be loved and missed beyond compare. Thank You for sharing your story. Emily. [View Entry]
Comments: Hi Mr. Halligon.... At school I used to be bullied and blackmailed by the bullies in my school... After your assembly you gave to our school most of the bullying stopped and I never had to deal with those nasty kids again. I couldn't stop crying after the assembly and I used to be suicidal before you came to the assembly, but now I'm not, thanks to you....... Thank you SO MUCH!! You really did make a difference at our school. - Joe
Comments: Dear Mr. Halligan, On June 24th (Thursday) 2009 you came to my school. I felt touched, motivated and moved. Bullying, cyber bullying and suicide are something that is really close to my heart. Every time I think of Ryan’s story, I shed tears. Every single time I think of you coming to my school, I cannot begin to describe how strong you are. Someday, I wish I could be as strong as you. Ryan touched my heart, anyone who has a disability, whether it is learning, or physically they do not deserve to be bullied for something they have no control over. His story means a lot in my heart. Thank you [View Entry]
Comments: Mr. Halligan - I saw you on Oprah and I have wanted to meet you ever since. You came to my school (TRMS) and my sister met you after the assembly, and I was really jealous! Ever since I heard Ryan's story on Oprah it never left me. The story really touched my heart. You rock! Emma P.
Comments: Mr. Halligan - Many thanks for coming to TRMS and sharing Ryan's story. There is no doubt that your words will help many inkblots turn into butterflies! My best - Kelley
Comments: Mr. H, I'm really sorry for your son's loss. Your story really inspired me, and i will tell my friends and family about.

Comments: Mr. Halligan, I am very sorry for your loss. I saw your presentation today and it made me really sad. I hope you and your family get through it even though it is really hard. You inspired me to be a better person because I don't know what anything can lead to. If I ever see someone getting bullied I will do as you said and stand up for that poor victim. Once again I am VERY sorry!!!! -Leerone 
Comments: Dear Mr.Halligan, I was just at your assembly and it was so sad hearing that. I am very sorry about the loss of your son. You inspired many people to become a better person.

Comments: I live in Zürich, Switzerland and am writing because Ryan's story moved me. There was a documentary on tv in French which featured your family, but I didn't understand everything that was being said. Ryan's picture caught my eye, and when I saw the interviews with you (both parents) I pieced together that something must have happened to Ryan and so I googled his name and found this website. As a mom of an older son (1st grade) who has been bullied a lot in his young life simply because he is a passive kid and chooses to stay out of trouble, I was so saddened to read about what happened with Ryan. I can't even begin to imagine what you must feel, but I want to write and let you know that you are changing people's lives just by sharing your story. I don't know what we will do to help our son, but I know that simply taking judo isn't going to solve it. You touch many subjects on child-rearing which many parents struggle with daily: should kids have a computer in their room, internet access on their cell phones, etc. I wish more parents would get involved with their children's internet access and cyber-social life to avoid crimes like cyberbullying, cybermobbing, etc. Keep informing everyone, and know that you have reached out halfway across the world already to a mom in Switzerland. God bless.
Comments: Dear Mr. H, We were touched by your story and it will change our attitude towards life and especially respect for others forever. We were very surprised to see how many people you truly touched in this school including kids who bully others.We all have had a time in our lives where we have been bystanders to someone bullying somebody else and you coming to our school was just a good awareness to how we should really act when something like that is going on.It definatly changed the way we are going to react to a bulling situation and we will always think of Ryan's Story. We all know that it takes a lot to talk about this very sad story to others and we really do appreciate you being able to share it with our school! Thank you again Mr.H for sharing your story across the country and spreading awareness, we want you to know that you are now not the only one that feels this way about bulling! Our love and prayers are with you and your family. Thanks, Oak Middle School Girls

Comments: thank you so much for comeing to oak middle school. i know how your son must have felt. kids can be so mean, and i think its awful what happened to your son. im thinking about your family. and i really realized to think before i say things now, cause sometimes when you think somethings just a joke it can be so much more to the person the joke is on. i'll never forget your presentation in our school. and your a brave man for getting up and telling your sons story, i think it impacted so many people. noone diserves what happened to your family, and im praying for you all. oh, and im one of the girls that sat with you at lunch when you came in. thank you so much.
Comments: Mr.halligan, this past Monday you came to my school.(oak middle, ma) i just wanted to take the time to really thank you for coming. you really made every single person in that room think. i myself look at bullying a completely diffrent way because of your story, you really changed alot of people out look on this topic. i also want to let you know your an amazing man for what you do, taking the time to educate children about bullying is probably the most important thing anyone could do. the assembly truly moved me and from know on, i will always have a place in my heart for you and your family. thank you so much. i will never forget what you did for my school, and just like you know, your son will never be forgotten. thank you so much, Nicole
Comments: dear Halligan family~ mr halligan, you visited my school (oak middle) on Monday and i was very moved by ryans story, he seemed like a wonderful kid. you really showed me just how much words can hurt. this assembly also showed us all how much we are all loved. i learned from you that before you say anything, think about how it can affect the person your talking to. thank you for all that you do. love, jackie [View Entry]
Comments: I am so sorry about what happened to your son. I have no idea how you must feel but i know that if something like that ever happened to me or someone in my family i would have no idea what to do. You are so brave to be able to get up on the stage and talk to people about ryans story. I look up to you for that. My friends and i balled our eyes out today when you spoke at our school and i want you to know that your story really did make a difference. I hope that you will continue to tell your sons story and reach out to people like me and my friends. We are so sorry and we want you to know that even though your family has been through the worst that there are always people out there that care even if you dont know it. [View Entry] [View Entry]
Comments: Mr. Halligan, On Monday,June 8th,2009 you came to talk at my school. I go to Oak Middle school. Your presentation moved me and touched my heart. Thank you so much for coming to my middle school you most defiantly got the message across! Thank you, Love, Kristen Rezuke Oak Middle School Shrewsbury, MA
Comments: I was at the school you visited today. You are amazing. That you can go to so many school's and share your son's story is really courageous. Everyone says this, but I'll say it anyways, I'm sorry for your loss. I cried inside listening to his story, and bit my nails to death. Which is really significant, because biting my nails is one of those characteristic traits that defines me. It's what I do when I feel most strong emotions, like worry, anxiety, empathy... I hope that you live life happily and don't have to feel such pain ever again. Good wishes to your family and yourself... Life is hard.
Comments: Dear Mr.Halligan, I want to thank you very much for visiting my school(oakmiddle-ma). You made such a difference in everyones lives and touched everyones heart. We had a discussion after we left, and we were making solutions to stop any kind of bullying. Bullying is a serious matter now-a-days. I had gone through it similar to Ryan's case. I had said the same things, such as, "dont go and tell the principle" i thought it would make it worse, but it kind of helped. Also, friends are the key to helping out too. You have changed the way i look at the way people take comments. Many people have changed the way they acted at my school, and it is all because of what you had said. Thank you very much for visiting our school, it was a great impact. Thankyou and i am very sorry for your loss.
Comments: Mr. Halligan, i am going to make this very brief and concise. when you came to my school today i was very inspired by the fact that you had the strength and courage to stand up there and tell Ryans story. i have read the website and i want you to know that you are so respected in our school and by many other schools. tellling Ryans story you opened some peoples eyes to make them think differently of how they treat others. boys that i did not even know had feelings cried today and that makes me realize that Ryans story got to people. thank you so much for coming today, you deffinetly changed everyones perspective on bullying. thanks again! -Lauryn from Oak Middle School [View Entry] [View Entry] [View Entry] [View Entry] [View Entry] [View Entry] [View Entry] [View Entry] [View Entry]
