Repost:Teen Bullying Must Stop – Joel Burns – Fort Worth City Councilman Youtube Video (MUST SEE)

I rarely post any personal entries anymore. I started this blog as a personal blog but it has evolved to what it is today, a celebrity blog. From time to time, when I feel a nudge about a topic or anything that touches my heart, I blog about it under “Random Musings”. I express how I feel and I write about the situation.
This video that you will see below is Joel Burns. He is Fort Worth City, Texas Councilman who is openly gay. His 12-minute speech was heartfelt (and I cried a couple of times while watching). It is a message to teens who are thinking of taking their lives just because of bullying and name-calling. People who’ve been called faggit, faggot, queer, freak and the like while you are in grade school or high school understand how painful it is. And to a young teen, you may think that the world is a cruel place. It is not. We want you to know that life does get better and Joel Burns said it profoundly by telling his own experience.
