Did you know that suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death in American Teens? Thats only ranked after car accidents. And it is shocking that there has been a huge spike in suicide by bullying. As dim as this may seem, bullying can be stopped by simply stepping up and speaking up for yourself and others. Better yet, you are not alone! Our goal is to someday stop this act of hate; but for the time being, this blog is a step in the right direction. So take our challenge! Step out of your comfort zone for a day! Tomorrow, as you are walking through the halls, or walking home, pay attention to what is going on around you. Stick up for someone you see being bullied or disrespected in anyway. We all know how easy it is to melt into the crowd when someone is being bullied, but turning a blind eye is just as detrimental as being the bully yourself. We must all hold each other accountable for what we let happen, and be advocates for those who cannot speak up.
