Love is Louder.

Hey y'all so as you've probably heard about the recent suicide of Tyler Clementi, who attended Rutgers University, comitted suicide after being humiliated and bullied because of his sexual orientation. I think this is absolutley DISGUSTING. People may not agree with other peoples choices or beliefs but that's someones choice not yours, let people live their lives and bite your tongue if you don't agree. It's horrible that Tyler felt that his only escape from this bullying for being who he is was suicide. He was only 18! I hope what happened to Tyler really opens peoples eyes about bullying and how much of an impact it can cause on people. Here's some other accounts from Abcnews.com of teens taking their lifes:
Seth Walsh, a 13-year-old from Tehachapi, Calif., hanged himself from a tree in his backyard. Authorities say other teens had taunted the boy for being gay. He died Tuesday afternoon after nine days on life support.
Asher Brown, 13, an eighth-grader in Houston, fatally shot himself in the head last week after enduring what his mother and stepfather said was constant harassment from four other students at his school for being gay.
They were only only 13! It's so sad that these boys being so young were tourmented so much that they felt the only way out was suicide. I really hope people finally see how bullying can effect people. Go to http://www.loveislouder.com/ and join the campaign to help fight bullying. In i think last months Seventeen Magazine, there was a spread called "Letters to Pheobe" that were letters from readers to Pheobe Prince, a new student who was bullied and tormented so much she killed herself.
So in honor of everyone that has felt live is no longer worth living, that theyre not good enough, that their an outcast, please send me your letters to anyone you know who has commited suicide or anyone if you know them or not that may be thinking about it or what you would say to Tyler, Seth, Asher, or Pheobe if you had the chance to talk to them at Flashnglam247@yahoo.com.
Join the movement!

To Tyler, Asher, Seth, Pheobe, and everyone else, YOU ARE LOVED JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!
XOXO,
Grace
LOVE IS LOUDER!
