Wow I am totally moved by tonights episode of Glee and it brought things back to me that I never thought I would see again. I was so shocked by the attempted suicide and the teasing of a teen just because they are gay and different from what most people consider the norm.
I can remember in school how people picked on my , called me fag and were just so rude and demeaning because I was different. Yes I was and am still different from what most people will ever consider to be the norm, but to me now maybe I look at things like I am the norm and this gets me through the day. I use to leave school with my head hung low and thought about suicide more than once and am so thankful I had a great family and lovely friends, all girls, but they are my girls. Also glad we ave all grown up since then and hopefully those of you who bugged, picked on and were just plain cruel have taught your children this is wrong, who knows one of you may have a gay or lesbian child. Life is too short and I am so glad I survived all your teasing and bugging , but lets remember there are a lot of kids and teens out there who don't.
Just had to say this while it was on my mind, brought a tear to my eyes to see on TV what I thought of doing so many years ago.
Have a great night and remember we are all people and if we get cut we all bleed red, the one thing my mother always made sure we all knew. Doesn't matter your color, sex, religion, preference, it is all irrelavent and live and let live please!
