blame it on my hormones, but i'm really moved by all the recent teenage suicides in the states.
there was billy lucas, a 15-yr-old who hung himself last month after being called f** too many times.
then there was tyler clementi, an 18-year-old violinist who jumped off the GW bridge after his roommate secretly streamed a video of him with his partner.
there were 3 more prominent teenage suicides last month... all because of bullying.
i know intolerance has caused us so many deaths... just remember the inquisition, the holocaust, terrorism,... the list goes on......
but when kids resort to suicide because of intolerance, it reaches an all-time heart-breaking high.
i remember when i was in prep, around the time this photo was taken...
i was bullied incessantly by these two girls.
my sweet revenge? getting accelerated on the 2nd quarter of that school year. all of a sudden, i was in first grade, "higher" than them.
thanks, *brains*!
but who knows how i would have changed had i not skipped prep?
*sigh*.
i shall end this serious post with ellen's message.
