Pink Shirt Day

Been here much more than a while

I think this is a predominantly Canadian thing, but there might be regional takes on it everywhere. The goal is to bring awareness to bullying in schools and promote kindness and inclusion. For those who don't know where or why it began:

The original event was organized in 2007 by twelfth-grade students David Shepherd and Travis Price of Berwick, Nova Scotia, who bought and distributed 50 pink shirts after a ninth-grade student Chuck McNeill was bullied for wearing a pink polo shirt during the first day of school at Central Kings Rural High School in Cambridge, Nova Scotia.

It's sheer coincidence that my company colours are pink, but I fully support the message and hope it spreads.

I support it also. But, there needs to be more severe consequences for even minors, who mistreat minors.
Seeing that documentary on that girl Rehtaeh, from Nova Scotia, who was mistreated, presumably coaxed or forced into having her picture taken in a lewd manner, and there was possible sexual abuse, when she was drunk, by a group of boy students, who were not prosecuted because of lack of evidence. She was so upset, she expired by herself.
Watching it made me angered towards these perpetrators.
