Now, most people know that today is different than most days. Today is Spirit Day. Just to recap, Spirit Day is a day now brought to the forefront because a young boy who was constantly bullied because of his sexual preference killed himself.
It's sad that it always takes people something like this to finally get the point across.
It's not okay to bully anyone at anytime. If you are being bullied at school, go for help. Find someone to tell or talk to. It's NOT okay. No one should ever be bullied for their gender, race, sexual orientation or any other numerous reasons. Spirit Day is a reminder to speak out about bullying and to always be yourself no matter what anyone else things.
Yeah, I was teased because I was short, overweight, wore glasses, and hung out with the geeks, book worms, and computer nerds. I was only lucky because I had friends that kept my self-esteem from being affected. Others aren't as lucky or blessed as I was.
In remembrance of this day and for all those still being bullied I drew a picture for Spirit Day. Just remember, a spirit is a beautiful thing if you keep your heart open for others to enter into it. Keep your heart open and your spirit will always glow.
I named this drawing 'Where the Spirit Leads Me'
This is Creative Karma. Love yourself for who you are and never let anyone tell you you don't deserve it.
