So today, America is uniting against suicide and bullying. I have wondered why it has taken us this long to acknowledge what goes on, but I feel since it is an uncomfortable topic, people just turn the other way and don't recognize that it happens. It is strange to me to think it took Ellen to cause a ripple effect. However, even though there is the question "why now," I am grateful that it is being addressed. Everyone has had some sort of bullying towards them, but I hope not many have had suicide directly influence their life. It is something that needs to be addressed. The sad stories of people shooting themselves on church steps and other suicides going "undiscussed" on college campuses are no longer set in vain. I pray for the families and friends that have experienced any grievance from suicide. As a person who has been affected by this, I say that though you grow from the situation, not a day goes by where I don't think of my friend.
Suicide from unacceptance needs to stop.
Bullying needs to stop.
We need to do all that we can do to be a friend to others and love those we come in contact with. We never know what goes on inside someone's head. People may seem put together on the outside, but no one EVER knows if they truly are. Treat everyone as you would want to be treated. Remember, Love makes the world go round.
