This Friday is no ordinary day. This Friday is International Stand up to Bullying Day. A day where many stand up against the people who bully others every day within school, home, or work.
This day began when two Canadian teenagers decided to stand up against a group of bullies who picked on a student for wearing a pink shirt to school. They did so by bringing boxes of pink shirts, and told their class to wear the shirt. When the bullies came to school that day, they saw a large portion of the students within the school wearing pink shirts. After that very moment, the bullies never picked on the student again.
That is why this Friday, many people across the world, including myself, will be wearing a pink shirt. If you could, please join us by wearing a pink shirt and Stand Up. Stand Up for those who are bullied on a daily basis. Stand Up for those who feel they do not fit in with others. Stand Up for those who are afraid to speak up for themselves due to the fear of realiation. Stand Up for what you think is right. For more information, you can visit their main web site here.
