bullying

I appreciate speakers that can get their point across quickly and creatively. That was one of the reasons why I chose the videos on texting and John Legends performance. First, I loved the point the speaker made about how texting can be an open environment. It's easy to be open to a faceless person on the other end and it is very easy to be discreet. It is a medium that, if used in the right way, can be the most effective due to the constant use and ease of access.

I've seen the video of "True Colors" before and it made just as much of an impact as it did the first time. If you listen to the song, it's pretty obvious what it's about. I like the song because it makes a point in a few words and doesn't shy away from the issue. Rather than focus merely on bullying, it focuses on the individual. We don't need another song that says "Stand up for yourself and screw those guys". It says "I'm here for you."
