Man writes heartbreaking Facebook post about bullying after brother commits suicide

A man's Facebook post about the bullying that he says caused his brother's suicide is going viral.

A high school student allegedly took his own life last week after his family says he endured relentless and cruel bullying from his fellow students.

16-year-old David Molak from San Antonio, Texas, was a sophomore in high school and was reportedly found dead of an apparent suicide last Monday morning.

Now, David's brother Cliff is opening up about the alleged vicious bullying David endured.

Cliff spoke to KSAT, saying that the bullies crushed David's spirit and his brother just "didn't know how to handle" the abuse he received.

He also wrote a Facebook post that spoke about the issue of cyberbullying and called for "the healing of this nation to be David's legacy."

Dear Friends and supporters,I first would like to thank you all for the overwhelming support you have and are...

Cliff wrote in the post that his brother's death was a tragedy "set into motion by a boy whom I will not further empower by naming."

He wrote in part, "I saw the pain in David's eyes three nights ago as he was added to a group text only to be made fun of and kicked out two minutes later. I spoke to him right after to comfort him and he didn't even hear me. He stared off into the distance for what seemed like an hour.

"I could feel his pain. It was a tangible pain. He didn't even have the contact information of any of the eight members who started the group text. It is important to note David had been enduring this sort of abuse for a very long time."

He continued on to write about how technology has aided bullies in their actions, and encouraged others to help eliminate the problem.

"In today's age, bullies don't push you into lockers, they don't tell their victims to meet them behind the school's dumpster after class," he wrote. "They cower behind user names and fake profiles from miles away constantly berating and abusing good, innocent people."

Since it was posted on January 6, Cliff's post has been shared more than 20,000 times.
