Depression is something that can interfere with a persons life making them feel strong feelings of sadness and and hoplessness for long periods of time, you begin to lose interest in going out and communicating in any kinf of activites, and all this can actually cause physical symtoms as well as loss of apitite and sleeping problems and in some cases feelings of pain.
Teen depression is a big deal life is a beautiful thing and things like this shouldnt be taken to lightly, people live and they go through problems that to us are invisible because we arent there seeing, feeling, and hearing the same things they are.

The LGBTQ community is HUGE now ! there are people who are happy with their lives and all of us in W.H.Y. coulnt be happier, but the sad truth is that there are syill people out there who dont like the choices of others that hapt to do with the same sex partners, there is still a lot of hate going around, insults towars same sex couples ofcorse anything like that could bring people down making them feel weak and volnerable.
we want to make sure tht everyone feels accepted no matter what gender the judging has to stop, people are people and there is no reason why anyone should feel less.
