A lot of people say that life is not a video game and they will teach you nothing. I say they're wrong. If I have have learned anything from video games about life, it is that when you meet enemies, it means you're going in the right direction.

I may not be rich, I may not be famous, but I will stand up and add my voice to the millions screaming out loud 'It Gets Better' and I will not shut up until everyone is free to live and free to love without fear of prejudice, fear of hate or fear of harm. I won't shut up until everyone is free.

I've learned that, sometimes, losing yourself is the only way to really know who you are.

The next time you're tempted to gossip about somebody, the next time you hear a rumor about somebody, I want you to think about Phoebe Prince. I want you to think about the faces you see in front of you right now. These, ladies and gentlemen, are the faces of bullying.
