Over the past couple of weeks, all I've seen on the internet is articles about gay teens committing suicide because of bullying. Now, I know I can't stop this as an individual, and I know that there are some groups out there who are actually helping teens.
But after reading this http://ronkemp.blogspot.com/2012/01/another-gay-teen-lost-to-bullycide-rest.html , I saw this bit "You may recall that Tennessee lawmakers are trying to pass a bill that will allow bullying as long as it is for religious, philosophical, or political beliefs." What. The. Fuck? What the hell is wrong with America! Don't they understand, or get the fact that bullying IS NOT MEANT TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE. What sort of person try's to pass a bill which would let that happen!!
Being bullied, harassed, beaten up shouldn't happen to anyone, what is the point? OK, you don't like the way someone is, fine, then keep it to yourself. Don't you understand that words can kill if they are used in a way which can make someone feel isolated and unable to defend themselves..ever been in the shoes of someone who has been bullied to the extend of suicide?? no? Maybe you should look it up on the internet, because its not just the victim you've killed, its the family around them as well.
I hope that 1 day, the word "bullying" will be something no one understands or even heard off. Because putting a word with an action which shouldn't happen, is just as bad as that action.
