Ive decided to change my genius hour this semester. Its going to be called Project life. For the past 3 years I have dealt wit h sever depression, self harm, and all the other things that come with it. I have realized that all I want to do is to just keep other people from that same fate that i almost had on December 29th 2012. I hold a very special spot in my heart for self harmers. All of them. But at the same time i want to start a revolution. Its about time people learn the truth. Its time for bullying to stop. And i will not stop until the day that I can look around and know that that girl over there is eating because no one is going to make her feel bad about it or the day when a kid can listen to whatever they want without getting stereo typed into the classification of "EMO" Until the day that no person feels the need to go and self harm, there is no reason for those self slashed pores or the burns placed on your own skin by that lighter. We are the revolution but if someone doesn't stand up and start it. no one will.
I honestly cant tell you what i hope Project Life looks like in the end. That is not my focus. My focus is saving a life, even if it is only one. But the presentation at the end. That is the one thing i know i need to do. There are so many things that if just said could do a world of difference, but someone needs to say them. And there are so many misconceptions that need to be righted. Its time someone stood up to this. Not just turn a blind eye. Im done suffering in silence, and I'm done letting everyone else suffer in silence too.
