Assembly!

There was an assembly today on homophobia. The guest speaker spoke about his experiences in high school because he's gay himself! He told us about how after people found out, they didn't even treat him the same way. His friends didn't hang out with him any more and pretty much everything in his life kind of changed. Even one of his aunts didn't want anything to do with his family! That's not the worst part, he was also bullied and beat-up because of who he was! It was kind of shocking actually. This could be happening to a lot of other kids too. I saw a poster that showed the names of the kids who committed suicide because of homophobia recently (sort of, I didn't get a close look at the poster). It's really sad what happens to them. Well purple day's tomorrow but sadly I can't find my only purple shirt! I guess I'll just have to wear a shirt that has purple on it.
