Well...
This week has been pretty weird.
A kid at Quincy High School committed suicide on Saturday night, and a lot of kids at school are affected by it. It makes me sad to think that he felt that he had no one to turn to. I hope that none of my friends ever feel like that, because i want them to know that i love them, and they can always come and talk to me.
Pride week was cancelled because of this boys death. And don't get me wrong, and don't take this as a "heart-less bitch" thing to say, but i think that that was the wrong decision. Yes I believe that we should have our time of mourning, and i think that his friends DO have a right to be sad. However, i don't think that it's right to cancell pride week.
Teachers say that they are worried about disrespecting Michaels family and friends, which is understandable. 100% understandable. however, if you don't want to disrespect them, then why are you having a rally on the day of his wake? does that make any sense? i don't think so. Also, by decorating, the student council would be trying to lift the spirits of his friends, because we planned on doing a memorial to him.
I don't know. I jsut think that cancelling pride week was not a good idea, and it should not have happened.
I know that poeple are probably going to think that i'm being selfish, or heartless... but i'm just voicing the opinion of many people who came and talked to me. And don't get me wrong, i feel so bad for what happened, and i feel horrible that it happened now. My heart goes out to his family and friends, i know that if this happened to one of my friends, i would be lost.
