This week I was look at The Fischbowl when I saw this blog called “It Gets Better”. This blog had a hyperlink to a video on YouTube. The video was about a city council man (Joel Burns) telling gay teens that it is ok to be gay. He was also gay. He touched on a lot of the teen suicides that have been happening lately. A lot of them had to do with teens being bullied for being gay. He said it was hard to be in school and for people to know about it. He told his own story to everyone. He really wanted to get the message across that the bullying needs to stop, because it is ok to be gay.
It is a terrible thing for people to be bullied for being gay. I know a few people at my school who are questioning their sexuality. That is there choice and they shouldn’t be put down by anyone for their choices. A lot of gay people at my school are not bullied, but I know of one kid who is talked about behind his back. This is wrong. People should just stop talking bad about him. Also the people who are not sure about their sexuality shouldn’t be ashamed. It is ok to be gay. We should all follow Joel Burns and stop the bullying. No one deserves to be bullied. If you don’t want to be bullied for what you believe in or what you believe you are, then why should others be bullied. Gay people are just like everyone else. They don’t deserve it.
