I wore purple today to support #spiritday . As a lesbian I find the bullying of LGBTQ youth to be appalling. In fact, all bullying of youth is appalling. But as someone who has been out as a lesbian for 16 years, I still struggle with people being judgmental and mean sometimes. Kids and teenagers must be so effected by bullying at such young ages, and it needs to stop.
October 18th is #spiritday - a means of speaking out against #LGBTQIA bullying and standing with LGBTQIA+ youth, who disproportionately face bullying and harassment because of their identities.
If you or a loved one has been bullied, I want you to know today (and every day) that you are loved, you are worthy, and I stand behind you.
Today on #spiritday we recognize that #LGBTQ youth are at greater risk of being bullied, and dying by suicide. Today we stand with all bullying victims who experience poorer #MentalHealth as a result. It must stop. Bring attention to this alarming issue today with #Pledge2EndBullying
I am Matt, and #Pledge2EndBullying .October 18th is #spiritday - a means of speaking out against #lgbtqbullying and standing with LGBTQ youth, who disproportionately face bullying and harassment because of their identities.
While I am a cisgender, heterosexual guy, I also don't identify with a lot of what society says I should if I am to be typically masculine. Because of this and many other factors, I was bullied for the majority of my school life. I was socially ostracised, openly mocked and baited into believing I had a friend countless times. It had lasting effects on me until this very day, including #Depression , #Anxiety and #SocialAnxiety , #AvoidantPersonalityDisorder and extremely low self-worth.
Bullying changes lives. It also sometimes ends them by #Suicide . Whatever you identify as, whether you've been the victim of bullying or have a loved one who's experienced bullying, share your support today by posting a Thought with the Title: "I am [your name], and I #Pledge2EndBullying ."
