8th Blog (Purple Day or It Gets Better Part 2)
Aloha my fellow bloggers! Tomorrow on October 20th, lots of people around the world will be supporting the LGBTQ youth (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans-Gendered and Questioning) by wearing purple. Click here for more information! It's really important that we all make a difference to the world and show people that it's not okay that people are bullying other people because they are different from us. Like I said before on my first part of the blog, it's not just gays or lesbians who are facing this terrible crisis, people with disabilities, for example someone who rides a wheelchair or someone with an artificial leg are facing this terrible crisis. Think of Terry Fox or Rick Hansen, they are one of many notable Canadians, and people go around bullying people with the exact same disabilities and differences, not knowing that they could make a change in the world. Even gay people, like actor Neil Patrick Harris, comedienne Ellen DeGeneres and singer Adam Lambert are notable American celebrities. Being different is good, I guess some people don't really see that, because people are bullying every single day. We can start making that change tomorrow. Please, if you have a shirt, pair of pants, hat, scarf, shoes, etc. anything that's purple, please have the courage and make a stand for the LGBTQ youth and all the other people that are facing this terrible teasing and bullying. If you go to Hannah's blog, you can help support The Trevor Project for free! Remember, for people who feel like committing suicide DON'T DO IT! There are people who love and care about you and happiness is just around the corner. Trust me, it gets better! PLEASE wear purple tomorrow! PLEASE show that you care! Have a great day!

Hi Melissa,
I look forward to hearing about how many people wear purple tomorrow!
A few quick blogging things, #1. I have now linked to Connor's blog, so you can add that to your list if you want.
#2. If you edit your design template and change the link colour to something different that your post colour, it will be easier for your readers to tell when you've created a hyperlink.
Keep up the great blogging work!
