4th Blog (It Gets Better)

Hi Bloggers! Yesterday, my class had a very important discussion about people from the United States being bullied and committing suicide, because they were gay. How terrible and devastating is that? Please be careful of the words you say to other people. They may seem like a joke to you, but it really hurts and is mean. And it's not just gays that are in this crisis, people who have disabilities also are facing this terrible bullying, being called lame, because they can't walk or dumb, because they can't speak, etc. I'm here to talk to you about Autism, because I know about Autism and it came up in the class discussion today. Autism is a disorder a person has that causes issues with non-verbal communication and social skills, which means that they process the information slower than other people. Even though they get the information slower, they still know it in their brains and they're very intelligent, just like everyone else. So please, my message for everyone is to treat others the way you want to be treated. If you see someone that's different from you, be kind to that person. Besides, being different is good, we don't want everyone to be the same, that would make this world boring. Keep this message in mind everywhere you go, and for the people who are having trouble and want to take their lives, DON'T DO IT! There are people who love and care about you. You're not alone, and trust me, it gets better. Thank you, and Happy Thanksgiving this Monday. 

P.S. If you have any time to see another example, please visit my friend Hannah's powerful and meaningful blog about "It Gets Better". She definately makes a point about this terrible cause, and also wrote two raps of her own about it. She is really standing up for herself about this, and I truly recommend that you check it out. <- (Click on this to get to blog.)
