While we mostly gush about shoes, clothes and all things
visually fabulous here, there’s something else we find very fashionable, and
that’s how we live our lives on the inside, and how we treat others all around
us.
For years and years I grew up enduring some very harsh
teasing and bullying, simply because of my hair, the color of my skin, and
because I excelled in school. All
throughout middle school and high school I remember vividly coming home and falling
into my mother’s arms crying as yet another kid at school had bullied me. I was one of the blessed ones to have
an amazing and supportive family.
But other kids aren’t so lucky, and bullying has led to an alarming rate
of violence and suicide amongst young children. It’s time we do our part to help put an end to such a
senseless act.
Enter:
Glee. The cast of Glee
knows a thing or two about bullying, featuring episodes with slushie-incidents
to really dangerous ones, and now actors Cory Monteith and Naya Rivera have
teamed up with GLAAD and The Weinstein Company, the studio behind the
controversial new documentary “Bully” for a couple short anti-bullying PSAs.
Check out the videos and please pass them on! And visit www.thebullyproject.com the official
site of “Bully” for more info on how to help.
