Anti bullying - to this day

March 10th, 2013
I know that this is not photography based so I apologise but I saw this beautiful video and felt that this man's voice deserves to be heard.

"I wasn't the only kid who grew up this way"

Please watch it all the way through and pass it on

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I was bullied all throughout high school for being gay. To this day and sadly, it's all I remember about high school. While my peers were enjoying it and dating and such, I was merely trying to survive...

@naturalbeauty wow thanks for sharing that, I've shared it on Facebook too.
@seafilam72 so sad to hear you have so many sad memories of high school, my son's best friend is having similar issues at school - initially in an all boys high school the stand on bullying was "get over it, it'll make a man of of you" since moving to a co-ed school things have been slightly easier for him - my son has been there beside him all the way, something that at times has not been easy for him either but we are very proud of both the boys.
I recently went to my high school reunion to have a lovely lady come up to me & say she remembered me as being the only person who was kind to her! It made me sad to think that while I looked back fondly on high school she & many others either can't or don't, so all my love goes out to them.

Thanks, Sherrill...it would've made a huge difference to me if I had more people like you in high school. It would've made my days bearable and livable to say the least. Kindness and compassion, even in the slightest bit can make a huge difference in someone's day.

What a kind, caring, and compassionate son you have...and good for him for being there for his friend. I wish them both the best of luck and strength to get through this together.

I hope I made a difference ( @seafilam72 ) Alan I wish I had done more to try & stop it from happening, unfortunately I wasn't as strong then as I am now.
Thanks for your kind words regarding my son, he is exactly as you said & we couldn't be prouder.

Thankyou for sharing - this is so beautifully and touching. It isn't just the school ground, sadly work places are full of bullying:(

Amazing! I get bullied all of the time because of my sexuallity! I am bisexual, and I'm okay with it! But some people just hate me for it!
