It's a joke. Bullying is part of human nature and no amount of social workers, school assemblies, and cheesy holidays are gonna change that. And you wanna know who was wearing the most purple in my town, that day? The people who
were/are the school bullies. As if wearing purple for a day, is somehow enough to make up for what they did.
Besides, how about a little less focus on the kids who didn't make it and a little more on the ones who are still alive? Everyone's like "Oh my god! They killed themselves! They must have had it so bad!". Yeah. Except for one thing. There are PLENTY of kids who have it just as bad. Those kids were just the tough ones, who managed to pull through without anyone's help. And let me tell you, a bunch of hipster assholes wearing purple, never did
them any good.
Superficial remembrance doesn't save lives.
