Boy Who Stood Up To Bully Explains What Made Him Fight Back

A boy who shot to fame after turning the tables on a bully at his high school, body slamming the tormentor onto concrete, has told how years of bullying had pushed him to the edge.



Casey Heynes, a 15-year-old from Chifley College Dunheved Campus in Sydney's west, shot to fame after a video was released on the internet showing him body slamming a smaller boy who repeatedly hit him.



The video quickly became an internet hit, with hundreds of thousands of people watching it, many of whom were sympathetic to Casey's situation.



But speaking on A Current Affair last night, Casey said while he was glad of the recent support, last year he considered suicide.
