Normally, I try not to do Admin rants, but this is nessesary.
I want ya'll to watch this, because it's honestly heartbreaking, people should be ashamed.
When you see shit like this, you don't walk by. It's not moral, it's not right!
This world is for all of us, you should be accepting of everyone, no matter what they wear, who they are, what their skin tone is or where they come from.
You see people everywhere trying to change this, but something happened that scared me a while ago. A friend recommended to show another video, 'The Buyyling Experiment' in class. And our teacher complied. You wanna know what the other Freshman did.
They laughed.
We had a debate on cellphones in school, and one of my sub-topics was cellphones and text-bullying. I mentioned that '1-5 teenagers will experiance text bullying. You wanna know what someone said?
"Well, bullying's always going to be around, so why should we take away phones? It's not gonna have a big effect, so it doesn't matter if we have them. Besides, bullying is 'Survival of the Fittest'. the people who kill themselves deserve to die."
That's a shitty thing to say, considering that those people have families. My oldest sister tried to kill herself. Nearly suceeded, we found her pale and barely alive in my bedroom. Her reasoning isn't your buisness, but she never deserved to die, she wasn't weak. She was sensitive, kind, loving. Survival of the fittest is a shitty kind of thing.
Guys, our generation has the chance to change all of this. It's kinda why I think Hetalia is kind of good for us. We're a lot more accepting, and that may sound stupid, but it's true.
We need to step up, convince those who don't agree that this is a problem. People who we love are dying, maybe not literally but figuratively. Things like racial discrimination and bullying over race and religion are stupid, we need to step up and stop it before it gets out of hand.
