By Jamie Hall, Edmonton JournalA13-year-old Alberta boy was called a "hero" on The Oprah Winfrey Show on Wednesday for speaking out about his torment at the hands of bullies.
"Sometimes I just want to hit myself and ask myself:' Why me? Is it my fault?'"said Chase, who appeared on the hugely popular talk show along with his mother, Jackie.
It was Jackie who wrote to the show's producers, worried her son might harm himself after enduring years of verbal and physical abuse by his peers at St. Anthony School in Drayton Valley, about 140 kilometres southwest of Edmonton.
