Chance Houle, of Bismarck, committed suicide on March 31. His family said Chance, born Cherish, 'experienced intense pain most people will never know', according to an obituary posted on Eastgate Funeral. The obituary said the last six months had been especially painful for Chance as he 'experienced continual transition and intense bullying at school'. Chance's cousin told DailyMail.com that the pre-teen had only come out as transgender this year, and that it had contributed to the bullying. The boy's relatives said they had no idea how 'unbearable' the pain had become, and said they were devastated that their love wasn't 'enough to heal the scars'. Chance's obituary also discusses the world of bullying and all the 'ugliness and pain it causes'. His family detailed the horrifying moment they found him in his bedroom on Saturday and tried to save his life. 'The ugly truth of bullying is those who loved [Chance] can't close their eyes at night because they can't get the image out of their head'. 'The ugly truth of bullying is doing CPR for four minutes and 26 seconds. It's listening to the 911 operator tell you to go faster and push harder.' 'It's knowing that you didn't open the door early enough for it to matter anyway.' Chance's cousin said the teen had also struggled with being in foster care for the last five years and being split up from his siblings. ' --- Kevin Durant. Lord of the Warriors.
