Parents of Billy Wolfe File Lawsuit Against Bullies

The parents of Billy Wolfe, a 16-year old high school student in Fayetteville, Arkansas, filed a lawsuit against one of Billy's bullies.

Since elementary school, Wolfe has been bullied by several classmates. As a matter of fact, bullying Wolfe has become a school activity as various people have joined in on the verbal and physical assault over the years.

Wolfe, a sophomore at Fayetteville High School, has been videotaped being bullied. One video shows a bully jumping Billy on the school bus and slamming his head against the window. A second video, which was taken by a bully's accomplice, shows a bully getting out of a car at Billy's bus stop, walking up to him, and punching him in the face.

The students at his school have even created a Facebook page entitled "Everyone Hates Billy Wolfe" and another Internet post that claims that Billy is gay. The "Everyone Hates Billy Wolfe" page has been deleted on Facebook, the popular social networking site.

The group have been replaced on the site by groups such as "Everybody Loves Billy Wolfe" and support groups for people that were bullied ever since Wolfe's story has made national news.

After talking to the parents of the bullies to school administrators, the Wolfe family has finally filed a lawsuit against one of the bullies.
