Quickblog #2

The article I picked has to do with the oppression against teens and kids who are bullied because they are gay. I think this is one of the biggest issues we're facing in America right now because kids feel it's bad enough to take their own lives. It's horrible to hear stories of teens killing themselves because they were bullied by classmates and their peers. It's extremely important to stop this bullying and to expand the mindset of the youth in America today. Over 7,500 schools participate in the day of silence, including my high school, which shows that the word is getting around and people are starting to realize how much of an issue this is today. However, that's only 7,500 hundred schools out of hundred of thousands that should be part of this awareness.
