Purple is for spirit

Wear purple everyone. I DARE you to care. No, it's NOT stupid or worthless. We're making a POINT here. Everyone wears pink for breast cancer and poppies for dead soliders, so how is this any different? Teens are DYING and DEAD. Make a difference.

That is my current facebook status and I have a variation of this in pretty much every type of messenger or blog type thing I have.  It's a big deal guys.  6 gay teens alone this month have killed themselves, and add a lesbian couple into that in the past week. 

THIS IS BAD.

Bullying is bad no matter WHO gets bullied.  Gay teens aren't the only ones getting picked on and treated HORRIBLY for being who they are.  It's all around us and I say it's time we made a fucking difference.

Now, I'm a wee bit annoyed at some of my guy friends.  They don't believe in bullying (well, not enough to harm) and think that wearing purple today won't make a damn bit of good.  Well, if that's their logic, then we might as well NOT wear pink to support breast cancer, poppy flowers for dead soliders, and so forth.

I mean THINK ABOUT IT.  The point is to raise AWARENESS.  Now, for those of you who don't know, the color purple stands for spirit in the rainbow flag for LBQT (I hope I got everyone's in there XD).

I know I'll be wearing purple all day, and especially to the concert I'm going to tonight - Skillet, Trapt, Papa Roach, and some other band I can't remember the name of.  \\o  o//  \o/  \o/

and I'm proud to say that most of my friends, even the straight ones, will be wearing purple today. 

Oh, and one last thing: I think I found something I'm really passionate about.  I'm going to volunteer for the Trevor Foundation or some other gay teen help line.  Guys, I'm GOOD at helping people: listening to them talk and helping them work through their heads.  I've been playing therapist for friends and not so much friends for YEARS.  I'm good at it and I want to help.

I want to make a fucking difference in the world and HELP someone else for once.  What do you guys think?
