A few days ago, I received a text from Int. Navini that opened my eyes to a few things, and I thought I'd like to share it with you guys.
This is what the text said: "Did you know that the suicide rate among teenagers all over the world is increasing as we speak? Bullying is a major cause of suicide among teens. The thing about suicide is, you won't know if someone is going to commit suicide until it's too late. Join the It Gets Better Project and let teenagers all over the globe know that it gets better. Spread the word. Log on to www.itgetsbetter.org today and help make a difference :)"
Now, some of you may have heard about the It Gets Better project, some of you may have even watched the music video for Rise Against's song "Make It Stop (September's Children)" in support of this project.
Fundamentally, this project aims to show support for what they call "LGBT youth", short for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transexual youth. But it goes beyond that.
This project also aims to promote equality among everyone, no matter what race, gender, religion, sexuality or the colour of your skin.
I myself have pledged to join this cause. I've pledged to spread this message to my friends, family and neighbours. I've pledged to speak up against hate and intolerance whenever and wherever I see it.
Because everyone deserves to be respected for who they are.
