Stop, and take a moment.

I watched a video today that really opened my eyes.

Here it is.


I don't really think I can add much to this, but this boy is amazing to me. He has been bullied for seven years and it has torn him apart. He's terrified to go back to school. But he's going to go back. He is stronger than those words. The thing is, there are so many people that aren't.

Bullying and depression are things that are a very big deal to me. Depression runs in my family, and I spent a while in middle school dealing with it myself. It's not easy.

The bottom line is, people's feelings should not be taken lightly. The things we say and do can affect others in ways we often cannot imagine... for better or worse.
