PINK SHIRT DAY 2012

Dear Weeb,

Today was Pink Shirt Day / Anti-Bullying Day. You, me and Daddy all wore pink shirts to celebrate! Bullying stops here! Some schools in Canada make a big deal out of Pink Shirt Day, but unfortunately, your school didn't seem to do anything. It may be because of the impending Teachers' Strike or maybe just because your school just doesn't do those kinds of things. I don't remember you doing anything last year either. Oh well, it won't stop us!

Once upon a time, in Nova Scotia, a boy wore a pink shirt to school and he was teased and bullied for it. People got together and wore pink shirts to support him. Canada has been celebrating Pink Shirt Day since 2009, I believe.

Nobody has the right to bully you! And you don't have the right to bully anyone, either! Here's hoping it's never going to be a big issue for you.
