Spirit Day

Hope you've all been wearing purple today!

I have even though i only own one purple item, a t-shirt, which most of the time was covered by a jumper because of the cold.

But i still did wear purple!

To make up for my "weak" effort I purchased a "NoH8" badge earlier and as my guidance teacher at school is urging me to wear the school blazer, i shall comply and put the badge on there when I get it xD

Everyone puts badges on their blazer, so i'll put that on mine and a few Muse badges or something like that.

Anyway, one thing that annoys me is an apparent dislike or non-approval of wearing purple on Spirit Day, even within the gay community. I think more people support it than not but there's just things i read online; people saying it changes nothing, its just jumping on the bandwagon etc.

What crap.

It's to show a togetherness and to support the victims of gay teen suicide and those who are bullied!

Maybe it's just a personal thing that some people feel more strongly about than others but there's no need to criticise people who are trying to help and raise awareness of what is a very big issue.

Another one is that "people are just doing it to make themselves feel useful".

I don't know why people are so cynical all the time. It's about showing support and if showing support for what is a worthy cause is wrong then shoot me down.


I didn't mean to turn this into a rant :P

I just feel strongly about bullying - we've all seen the effect it can have - and I will do what i can to fight against it and i hope you will, too :)
