Spirit Day 2012

Fri Oct 19, 2012, 3:04 AM
I sat for a while thinking about what to write about Spirit Day and I thought it's best expressed in music. Please check out this heart felt song by Rise Against:


Make it Stop (September's Children) by Rise Against

"The song was written inspired of the teen suicides in the month of September 2010, who were bullied for being homosexual. It deals about how people are treated from homophobic bullying and feeling so tormented that they feel there's no place for them in the future and that killing themselves is a better option. It was written by my nephew, who wrote it about his best friend. His friend had killed himself a week before it was written."

Quote by Rise Against singer Tim McIlrath, source: Wikipedia.

Find out more about Spirit Day by checking out the Glaad website.

This song makes me tear up every time. I was one of the fortunate teens in that I was at a school where bullying wasn't as prominent, but we still had some (my wife got it more than I did.) My little sister though is at that age, and she's had quite a bit of it. She's handling it well, but it always worries me.

There's another song about it, but is not specific about homosexual bulling: Shinedown - Bully
Rise Against is the best vindicatory group i know and make it stop is one of the best song i've heard about this. The best way you can explain it is with this song.
Thank you and sorry for my english, it's awful!
