"Joel Burns Tells Gay Teens It Gets Better" Response

This school lost many students to bullying and harassment. We are lucky here at Burlington because we haven't lost any students at all to bullying or harassment. This video was extremely sad. Dozens of kids were just killing themselves because they couldn't take the pain everyone was giving them. Those lives could have been saved if people would realize how much words can hurt. Just because you can brush away harsh words doesn't mean everyone else can. Some people can only take so little. Everyone needs to know how much words hurt because even one harsh word can cause a death. We can save the lives of many students if we just think before we speak.
