This is ganna be a sad one

Lets get a conversation going on a rather said topic... or rather a 3 that intermix very often... just finished listening for 50 min to Alyssa Lies, Concrete Angle, How do you get that lonely, and other songs like that... if you know those songs you already know where i am heading... if not look them up and you will know what i mean... The topic is abuse, suicide, and bullying if you have not figured it out. these are some serious issues that are so over looked in out society and are only thought of after some huge incident happens but then are forgotten not long after...

This thread reminded me of this video which touches on this subject: <br><br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax96cghOnY4">Joel Burns tells gay teens "it gets better"</a><br><br>Fort Worth City Councilman Joel Burns reaches out to GLBT teens with a personal story and a message of hope.

I was a victim of bullying when I was in school, on top of that I had an abusive father. I can really relate to a lot of these songs. I'll never be able to listen to Alyssa Lies and keep a dry eye. The Little Girl by John Michael Montgomery at least has a good ending. The main country station in Grand Rapids, MI has a roofsit every year to help end child abuse. Its 93.7 WBCT (B-93). I alway wish that I could spare some money for the cause, but I am very poor :(
