Something I'd like to mention...

There's been a lot of discussion lately in the media and here on social networking sites: this has been an growing problem that started with that one snide remark about someone who didn't deserve this pain and abuse. 
Basically it's about Jamey Rodemeyer who committed suicide for being bullied because of his sexuality. He was a Gaga fan and he loved her and her music so much and because of the childishness and inappropriate comments from stupid bullies he couldnt go on. This is wrong, so wrong in fact that it should be illegalised: seriously what would you do if you woke up one morning and found out that the person that you bullied because they were bisexual, gay or lesbian had committed suicide: wouldnt feel good would it? 
And you know the really sad thing is...he was 14 years old! 
Jamey didnt have the life that he wanted: just because he was that little bit different and because he accepted who he was and didnt hide it in shame. 
Its wrong. 
Society has gone to pot since I found out this had happened and to me bullying is the worse form of abuse: it takes your feelings about yourself and other things and turns them from positive to negative and you feel so abnormal and different that you want to hide away. 
Seriously people, we're all human beings, we all have our individual differences and views and opinions and those who disagree with what has been said about illegalised bullying need to think long and hard about what they believe in. And those who dismiss it and say 'its life get over it' yes it is life but its the life of a 14 year old who didnt ask for this!
RIP Jamey Rodemeyer and as I said to my friend the other day, just because people are gay, straight, black, white e.t.c doesnt mean that we have to pick fights. We all get hurt either way. So this is my rant over and you might think 'omg she has no idea what she's saying' it doesnt matter either way because I know gay people they're amazing and they're the best friends anyone could have tbf <3 so this is for them! 
Spread the love people and stop the pointless bullying..is it really necessary?
