Anna Koupal WAGNER — Anna Koupal, 99 of Wagner died Friday, March 30, 2012, at the Good Samaritan Soci- ety, Wagner. Mass of Christian Burial is at 10:30 a.m. Monday at St. John Catholic Church, Wagner, with burial in the parish cemetery. Visitation is 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday at Crosby-Jaeger Funeral Home, Wagner, followed by a 7 p.m. rosary/wake at the church. BY LINDA WUEBBEN P&D Correspondent Ty Smalley is not being picked on anymore. Ty will never be 12 years old either. He will always be 11 years old and his mom and dad feel the pain of missing him everyday. Ty committed suicide 23 months ago in Perkins, Okla., after being bullied and picked on for two years. The day after his death in May 2010, stu- dents with the Stand for the Silent organiza- tion approached his father Kirk and asked him if he was interested in joining their movement. “It didn’t take me long to realize I had to do this; had to make a change to prevent this from happening to other kids and other par- ents,” said Kirk Smalley. He remembered the bullying his son suf- fered at the school he attended and where his mother Laura also worked. She com- plained to the administration about the prob- lem and was threatened if she didn’t stop, she would be fired. “One day Ty retaliated, struck back at a student who was picking on him,” said Smal- ley. “Of course, that was what the teacher saw and he was suspended for three days.” He said Ty’s mother took him home, told him to do his homework and his chores; she had to get back to work. “At 2:39 p.m., I got a call from Laura; I couldn’t understand a word she said,” said Smalley. “She screamed and screamed. Fi- nally I got her to calm down enough to under- stand Ty was dead.” Their son had taken a gun, went into their bedroom and killed himself on their bedroom floor. In the months following, the Smalleys have participated in rallies and traveled around the world for the Stand for the Silent organi- zation. Smalley tells the audience he is not a public speaker but a construction worker by trade and then went into a truly inspiring message for the fifth-, sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade students of Coleridge and Lau- rel-Concord schools. “We have enhanced the universal sign for love, telling everyone it means, ‘I have your back,’” Smalley said while holding his hand high for all to see. Similar to the Texas Long- horn symbol, little finger up, next two fingers down, index finger up and thumb out, it also went viral recently as little lmL (l, m, big L) thanks to the parents of a teenage girl in Aus- tralia who committed suicide. Large photos of five youth who have com- mitted suicide are propped on chairs in front of the audience, and two local youth and stu- dent council members, Billy Barelmn and Maddie Swanson read a short story about each student. Then Smalley talked about Ty. While talking, Smalley paced in front of the crowd handing out blue wrist bands with the “lmL” symbol on them and also the say- ing, “I am somebody.” He reminded the young students they were special and they could text him or find him on Facebook anytime to talk because he cares. “Do you know one in four youth think about suicide and have a plan of how to do it before they graduate high school?” Smalley said. “I don’t want any of you to be one of the statistics. Make that stop. Change it. Be part of the solution.” All of the students who committed suicide were people loved with freckled-faces, he said. “Schools can’t make this stop; but you can,” Smalley said. “You can make this stop and show us adults how to change.” The Stand for the Silent movement has been making lots of noise lately. So much noise, in fact, that Smalley received a phone call from the White House, asking how to shut those people up. The conversation opened another door for the Smalley couple. They met with President and Mrs. Obama who hugged him with tears in her eyes. They visited before joining a conference on bully- ing; the first held in the White House. The conference was not attended by sena- tors and lobbyists, who were not invited. But the list was impressive. Smalley said the pres- ident of Facebook was there, as was the pres- ident of Cartoon Network and MTV. “The wheels of justice turn way too slow,” said Smalley. “So we need to start here with each and every one of us.” He encouraged the young people to use all that amazing technology in a positive way to bring awareness of the bullying situation to light. He asked them to make videos and write music. All of the ideas for the Stand for the Silent movement have come from stu- dents just like all of them. “Don’t ask what you can do; go out and do it,” said Smalley. It takes courage to stand up in a group of friends and say this isn’t right or this isn’t funny but that’s what needs to be done. Ty had known for several years, when he turned 12, he would be able to go to Wyoming with his father for a big-game hunt. On March 8, he filled out the information for his hunting tags and sent his own money to pay for it. On May 13, 2010, Ty died. June 16 was Ty’s 12th birthday. On July 10, his par- ents received his hunting tags and before the season began, they had decided to head out to Wyoming to get Ty’s antelope. Smalley’s best friend and taxidermist just finished the head to mount on Ty’s wall and hand-painted the eye’s with a color he dubbed, Ty Blue. Smalley pointed out there are so many ways to bully people — a look, a word or an action. And then there's that amazing world of technology, which allows someone to be bullied 24 hours a day, seven days a week through Facebook or texting. “Ty’s not being bullied anymore,” Smalley said. “If I had decided (back then) to do something about bullying, he might still be alive.” He hopes he finds many more who believe they have the power to stop the bullying and save other youngsters from a fate his son met.

Ty Smalley is not being picked onanymore.
Ty will never be 12 years old either. He willalways be 11 years old and his mom and dadfeel the pain of missing him everyday.
Ty committed suicide 23 months ago inPerkins, Okla., after being bullied and pickedon for two years.
The day after his death in May 2010, stu-dents with the Stand for the Silent organiza-tion approached his father Kirk and askedhim if he was interested in joining theirmovement.
“It didn’t take me long to realize I had todo this; had to make a change to prevent thisfrom happening to other kids and other par-ents,” said Kirk Smalley.
He remembered the bullying his son suf-fered at the school he attended and wherehis mother Laura also worked. She com-plained to the administration about the prob-lem and was threatened if she didn’t stop,she would be fired.
“One day Ty retaliated, struck back at astudent who was picking on him,” said Smal-ley. “Of course, that was what the teachersaw and he was suspended for three days.”
He said Ty’s mother took him home, toldhim to do his homework and his chores; shehad to get back to work.
“At 2:39 p.m., I got a call from Laura; Icouldn’t understand a word she said,” saidSmalley. “She screamed and screamed. Fi-nally I got her to calm down enough to under-stand Ty was dead.”
Their son had taken a gun, went into theirbedroom and killed himself on their bedroomfloor.
In the months following, the Smalleys haveparticipated in rallies and traveled aroundthe world for the Stand for the Silent organi-zation. Smalley tells the audience he is not apublic speaker but a construction worker bytrade and then went into a truly inspiringmessage for the fifth-, sixth-, seventh- andeighth-grade students of Coleridge and Lau-rel-Concord schools.
“We have enhanced the universal sign forlove, telling everyone it means, ‘I have yourback,’” Smalley said while holding his handhigh for all to see. Similar to the Texas Long-horn symbol, little finger up, next two fingersdown, index finger up and thumb out, it alsowent viral recently as little lmL (l, m, big L)thanks to the parents of a teenage girl in Aus-tralia who committed suicide.
Large photos of five youth who have com-mitted suicide are propped on chairs in frontof the audience, and two local youth and stu-dent council members, Billy Barelmn andMaddie Swanson read a short story abouteach student. Then Smalley talked about Ty.
While talking, Smalley paced in front ofthe crowd handing out blue wrist bands withthe “lmL” symbol on them and also the say-ing, “I am somebody.” He reminded the youngstudents they were special and they could
text him or find him on Facebook anytime totalk because he cares.
“Do you know one in four youth thinkabout suicide and have a plan of how to do itbefore they graduate high school?” Smalleysaid. “I don’t want any of you to be one of thestatistics. Make that stop. Change it. Be partof the solution.”
All of the students who committed suicidewere people loved with freckled-faces, hesaid.
“Schools can’t make this stop; but youcan,” Smalley said. “You can make this stopand show us adults how to change.”
The Stand for the Silent movement hasbeen making lots of noise lately. So muchnoise, in fact, that Smalley received a phonecall from the White House, asking how toshut those people up. The conversationopened another door for the Smalley couple.They met with President and Mrs. Obamawho hugged him with tears in her eyes. Theyvisited before joining a conference on bully-ing; the first held in the White House.
The conference was not attended by sena-tors and lobbyists, who were not invited. Butthe list was impressive. Smalley said the pres-ident of Facebook was there, as was the pres-
ident of Cartoon Network and MTV. “The wheels of justice turn way too slow,”
said Smalley. “So we need to start here witheach and every one of us.”
He encouraged the young people to use allthat amazing technology in a positive way tobring awareness of the bullying situation tolight. He asked them to make videos andwrite music. All of the ideas for the Stand forthe Silent movement have come from stu-dents just like all of them.
“Don’t ask what you can do; go out and doit,” said Smalley. It takes courage to stand upin a group of friends and say this isn’t right orthis isn’t funny but that’s what needs to bedone.
