Today is Spirit Day. I honestly don't know if I have anything purple to wear, but I'm going to try, because I do support this and want to increase the visibility of it. (EDIT: Just as I suspected, I don't own any purple clothing. Huh.)
About bullying, everyone go read Cleolinda's post on this.(clicky-link!) What she says is SPOT ON, and I think everyone should follow it.
If someone is being bullied and I'm around, I will do what I can to help stop it.
Personal experience time: I was one of the incredibly lucky ones. Even though I was a Weird Kid, I wasn't really ever bullied. Part of this, I know, is because word went out pretty quickly that "Holy crap, Jilli's dad is CRAZY, don't piss him off". (Hi Dad! I love you and you're the best dad in the world!) But I know that wasn't the entire reason. I don't know WHY I wasn't bullied, but I thank my lucky stars that I wasn't.
But I've seen the effects of bullying. It's horrible and demoralizing, and I just don't understand how anyone can think that treating another person like that is okay. So. I will speak up and step in if I see bullying. I hope that you folks will do the same.

First it was the fact that I was tall, then my weight, then my disinterest in wearing girly clothes and makeup, then my haircolors and my funky eyeshadow when I was interested in girly clothes and makeup, and then, and this is the one that confuses me the most, my lack of interest in getting married and having kids by 25. You would think that, cosmetology being the diverse industry that it is, there would be fewer closed-minded people involved in it. I never made fun of the girls my age that dressed like they were 40-year-old soccer moms, why would they do it to me?
