Make it Better NOW

Rick Mercer on Teen Suicide


Rick Mercer recently (October 25th) did a very good 'rant' on the problem of teen suicide because of bullying and homophobia. It was so good that I wanted to re-post it to try to get more attention to it.

He is always very funny, but this is not a laughing matter. He puts it as it is, very forward. Teens need more gay role models - not only in the public eye, but everywhere. In literature, in schools, in community centers, everywhere. 300 deaths in Canada is far too much. Things get better, trust me. I have been there with the scars to prove it.
