Pink Shirt Day is a day for people to take a stand against bullying. It’s a great day becuase everyone who is a part of this wears a pink shirt. It’s an awesome day that started in 2007 with a Grade 9 boy who wore a pink shirt to school in Nova Scotia, Canada and he was bullied for it. Some random boys in Grade 12 heard about and were ticked off by it because they didn’t that should happen at school or anywhere. They used facebook and MSN to tell other classmates about the incident, but they also told everyone they talked to to wear a pink shirt to school the next day. So everyone did. EVERYONE wore a pink shirt and now it’s an annual event! This year is was on February 29, 2012
Bullying is a very very serious subject which people have to know about. I think the boy was was bullied in this case was accused of being gay or something. This is not a reason to pick on someone. Everybody has a right to be who they area and wear what they want as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone. And by the way I’m wearing a pink shirt right now. Please stand up against bullying!
