Tyrone, a year 7 student at Aspley State High School in Brisbane, Australia, died on November 22.

Speaking to The Courier Mail, Tyrone's mother, Amanda Unsworth, said her son had been targeted because he was gay.



“He was a really feminine male, he loved fashion, he loved make-up and the boys always picked on him, calling him gay-boy, faggot, fairy; it was a constant thing from Year 5,” she said.



Unsworth posted a picture of the Courier Mail cover to Facebook on Friday morning, writing "Say no to bullying".

"We will stand up and fight to get as much awareness, help, and support for others out there," she wrote.
