An autopsy report released by the Oklahoma’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner determined that Nex Benedict, a member of the 2SLGBTQ community, died by suicide.
Speaking as someone who was severely bullied, I knew to a certainty that I would get my ass kicked no matter what I did, so fighting back had no real downsides.
Of course, it also didn’t work, any more than it did for Nex. Exactly like with Nex, ambushing did not win the fight for me, because it’s just an urban legend that all bullies are cowards who will flee if you fight back.
