If this is a dream, the whole world is inside it

“Come to think of it, we have a lot in common, you and I. First, we don’t much like it here and would rather be somewhere else. Second, we’ve neither of us ever been to war – never even heard a shot fired in anger, have we? I just hope I’m up to it when the time comes – that’s what worries me more than anything, Joey. Because I tell you, and I haven’t even told Jamie this – I’m frightened as hell, so you’d better have enough courage for the two of us.” - Capt. Nicholls | War Horse, Michael Morpurgo

Olivia Penpraze.

19 years old.

Died from a Suicide attempt that left her brain dead. Her parents made the hardest decision of their lives by turning off her life support.

She had a Tumblr account with over 900 posts sharing her emotional turmoil, dealings with depression, loneliness & thoughts about her wanting to take her own life.

The only response she got, was insensitive assholes, like the majority of people on Tumblr, encouraging her to do it. She was bullied consistently.
Olivia attempted to kill herself every year in May 1st since 2008.

In May 2012, her short life came to an end.

I know most people can’t tolerate posts like Olivia’s, whom find it attention seeking.
My point to you people is…

EXACTLY!!

Of course it’s attention seeking what else it?! People share that part of themselves over the Internet because they obviously feel they can’t talk to anyone they know nor do they think anyone would care.

All I want is for people to cut out the bullying & talk to people like Olivia.
A conversation to someone in desperation could save their life.

If people can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.

You never know…
What you say could be used to decide whether they live or die.

Everyone needs to be aware of this. 

“Campaingers are suggesting the clip be shown in schools” - Yes. Yes. People need to realize that there is a cold, hard reality behind the strength of the words. Words can be far more hurtful than any cut of the knuckle in a punch, or scratch, or anything. Words cling and they go sour in someone’s mind because they can’t stop thinking about it. Kids aren’t getting it. They keep doing it. Adults do it. A majority of people on Tumblr are in their late teens, nearly twenties - and they still send that sort of hateful comments that curdle the mind and increase the temptation.

But seminars on bullying are always so vague. They don’t show the notes, or the devastation it does to someone. It only tells what you could do, but never gives evidence. It never gives something that’s more like a slap in the face; a drop in your gut. Teenagers are full of self-entitled “the world revolves around me” attitudes and their hormones and growing development claim that their word is right in every situation, and everyone goes through that point, so it’s understandable that it’s so hard to make them see -which is why you need to be real. You can’t sugar coat this stuff like I remember seeing in seminars. You need to show stories like Olivia’s and you need to show what she went through; the power of words.

Poor Olivia. I wish I could’ve been her friend, to help her. People continuously say that we’re not like the animals who kill the other in the kingdom, but I very much like to differ when things like this happen. We may not use teeth and fangs but our words bite as strongly as one.

Shame on you if you have ever had the gall to go tell someone to die; to tell them they’re worthless. Shame on you.

~PLEASE DO NOT SCROLL PAST THIS~~

This girl is my little sister (She even has her own Tumblr). She’s 9 years old. She thinks like a normal 9 year old. She talks like a normal 9 year old. She acts like a normal 9 year old. She just doesn’t breathe like a normal 9 year old. My little sister has what’s called “Cystic Fibrosis”. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a devastating and deadly genetic lung disease that affects tens of thousands of children and young adults in the United States. What it is, in basic terms is a disease where the mucus builds up in their lungs, and eventually can close up their lungs and can lead to a bad ending. The current life expectancy of a patient with CF is around 30 years old. The idea of my sister not being around when we both get older is unthinkable. Fortunately, my sister has a very mild case of Cystic Fibrosis, but it is a progressing disease. So I want to get all of your help. We are walking for Courtney as “Courtney’s Gang” in the Great Strides walk on May 20th, 2012 and I have set up a little “Donate” button on my blog. I understand that some people cannot afford to be donating money to Cystic Fibrosis, and if you are one of those people, I would really appreciate it if you could REBLOG this post and share it with your friends. Even a donation of a penny counts, please help CF stand for “Cure Found”.

If you would like to donate, please visit my blog by clicking this link: http://kid-josh.com/ and then click the “Donate” button and fill out the form that goes with it. Message me that you did and I will personally thank you. Any donation/reblog is amazingly appreciated and I couldn’t really thank you enough. Please reblog this at the very least <3.

Police arrest 6-year-old girl‏

~~~~~~

Salecia Johnson is six years old. On April 13, her teachers say she had a temper tantrum in class — but instead of putting her in time-out, the school called the police. 

Salecia was handcuffed, charged with battery, and kept in police custody for an hour before her parents found out what was going on. Though all charges have been dropped, Salecia — a 6-year-old —  now has an arrest record.

Salecia’s mom, Constance, says that “Salecia has been traumatized by this experience. She’s afraid to return to school and recently woke up in the middle of the night saying ‘they are coming to get me.’” Constance wants to make sure that this incident won’t affect Salecia’s future, and she wants answers about why police officers were involved in the first place.

So Constance started a petition on Change.org demanding that Salecia’s arrest be removed from her record and that Creekside Elementary pledge to stop involving police in school discipline.

Click here to add your name.

Constance believes that what happened to Salecia is part of a larger problem. Schools across America are adopting “zero-tolerance” policies that are making police involvement in school disciplinary matters more and more common, according to the Advancement Project, a group working with Constance’s family.

If thousands of people sign Constance’s petition, the police and the officials at Creekside Elementary will see that they can’t arrest and handcuff a six-year-old girl without facing public consequences. Schools around the country will take notice — and Constance hopes there won’t be another child that faces what Salecia did.

Click here to sign Constance’s petition demanding that Salecia’s arrest be removed from her record and that Creekside Elementary pledge to stop involving police in school discipline.

Thanks for being a change-maker,

- William and the Change.org team
