a Minority is a Majority is a Minority

"Many gay teens are trying suicide as a way of escaping. If you want to tell them that life will get better and that you respect them for who they are copy and paste this."

I was an outsider before I knew what I was an outsider for, so I can't peg it on any one thing. I can't say I suffered for being this or that before I'd even identified it myself. Yet I was the most suicidal when I didn't know what I was doing wrong. So.

If you are gay, bi, trans, queer, straight...
If you are peach, chocolate, ebony, ivory, yellow, red, black and blue...
If you are atheist, agnostic, muslim, christian, jewish, pagan, other, nothing...
If you are democratic, republican, independent, socialist, communist, etc, unaffiliated...
If you are too tall, too short, too large, too small, too jock, too nerd, too happy, too sad, too loud, too quiet, too eccentric, too boring, too unique, too utterly average...

For WHATEVER freaking reason you don't fit in -
For whatever has brought you grief where you sought only peace, equality, understanding:

I respect who you are. You're alright. You will get there.

You don't need to change for anyone who doesn't really know you. You need to find the people who /fit/ into the puzzle piece that IS You. And be the best representative of yourself you can be, so that more people fit into the scheme all the time. Suffering becomes strength. Diamonds are forged under pressure. I approve of you. Others will too.
