Love is Louder

We're all unique, we all have different personalities and traits that make us who we are;
scientist say there is at least one other person in the world who looks exactly like you, but even twins are never the same (and they've grown up in the exact same environment for the majority). I'm not talking about appearances, because you're appearance is a part of you, yes, but it can be modified. I'm talking about the things that make you, YOU.
The way you laugh, the tone of your voice, the things you find funny,your talents, your interests, all the tiny little pieces that come together and make you special.

Everyone is special, and we all deserve to be happy and loved, but unfortunately that's not always the case.

Bullying has a huge impact on who you become, and how you react and feel about yourself. It can leave scars that will affect the way the respond and how you take on the rest of your life.
There was an experiment done with school children to show them the effects of bullying. The students were given a piece of paper and told to crumple it up, rip it, do whatever they wanted to it. Once they were done, they were then asked to straighten the paper out and look at the damage caused that could not be repaired. This symbolised the way bullying affects hundreds of people everyday.

Bullying is not only physical but mental and with the introduction to social media it has expanded. There have been countless cases now of people being bullied on Facebook where people have set up hate pages about a person. There is also those sites where you can ask anonymous questions and you can get pretty rude and horrible things being said about you.
A lot of these cases have ended in the person being bullied attempting (and usually succeeding) in taking their lives.

The Love is Louder campaign is set against not only bullying but against anything that makes you feel less that the beautiful amazing person you all are.

Check out the Love is Louder page and join the movement.
