Day 15: Lent 2012

Here's the situation: I'm in the process of trying to get my Anti-Bullying Movement approved at my school. I happened to talk to my principal and though he commends me for what I'm doing, he said the only thing I can do is get a Purpose and a Sponsor. Check, already done. Next step? Get everything sent in by June 1st so the Board can look over and approve of it. Yeah, that's not going to work out. I'm not potentially waiting 5 months to get my group officialized. There's no telling what can happen to someone in 5 months. So many deaths can occur and so many problems can happen. People need this sense of belonging and support that the group offers. We may be going underground for now, but I hope the Board is ready for some serious action.

If there's something you strongly believe in, then why not fight for it? I will fight for my Anti-Bullying Movement, Limitless. I will bring it to the Board of Education myself. I will speak for all those who can't speak up for themselves. I will show the way for all the supporters as well as victims as we rise so that our voice can be heard. The longer the wait is, the more of a chance that someone might not see tomorrow. Bullying is happening everyday, and eventually one person will lose control and snap. It's not worth losing people who are of value to this world. This group needs to come alive. I, along with others, cannot wait until the next school year for it to be an official club (that's if it even is approved by the Board). We're taking action now, not later. I hope you're ready ECHS and Georgia Board of Education as well as everyone else. I'm speaking up now and I will not stop until our voices are heard.

I may not be a fighter, but I will fight for something that I love.
