I don't want another young person to feel alone or ashamed of who they are because of bullying. I spent two years defending myself and being angry because of those who didn't like the way I dressed, how I spoke and the music I listened to. I want kids to know that the things they're teased about now, will probably make them successful adults. I care because I've been there.

We shouldn't need a reason to care. We all should just out of the kindness of who we are. 

To anyone that has been bullied...
Never give in you're not alone.
In the darkest times there are always people that care no matter what.

Nobody is worthless, 
Keep your head held high,
Stay strong,
And most importantly
Be
Yourself.
