Hold on guys. Try not to jump to conclusions. This "hoax" if it really is that, isn't necessarily a bad thing at all. If it was a performance, it was valiant. because it speaks from the heart and addresses the issue of harassment and bullying. On a side note, don't believe in the speculation. it is a RUMOR that it was hoaxed, so maybe this was a purported hoaxed hoax. (if that is sound logical)
But you have to look at it from a different perspective. His video went viral, he grabbed the attention of the media and even some celebrities like lady gaga. Don't you think after that much publicity he would gain some kind of inspiration from this and use it as some kind of uplifting opportunity to show the world he is resilient? Middle school is a tough time, and adolescence doesn't justify it either. What I saw from the kid was sincere and genuine. He was reaching out for comfort and attention four months before. and remember, he was in a transitional period moving from middle school to high school. (which is important) I remember being miserable ages ago. right before my transition to high school, I felt isolated and neglected. So i can wholeheartedly say i know what he was going through. I didn't have many friends at that time, and I didn't know what to do. I wasn't masochistic or really suicidal, but i felt like i was in despair. but the transition from the four months prior made the difference. I went to high school and found other people who were like me, we connected. and I became content. So a change like that could occur, especially with a stable support system.
oh and that guy in the hoax video looks like justin bieber lmao
