Bullying, Homophobia, Suicide, and Life in the Closet (Because one post isn't always enough.)
But, you might say, they must have had other problems. I mean, the kid you just mentioned committed suicide only three days later. For that, I want you to take something into consideration:

Sweating the little things. A lot.
Accidently dyed my favorite shirt pink. I didn't realize it was in the same pile as the colors. They don't make it any more. I was gonna wear it tommorow for picture day too. So I'm pretty pissed ( Read more... ) -
