Purple is the color of LOVE < 3

Today is Spirit Day and GLAAD ( Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) has asked that people wear purple today as a call to attention towards the six young teenagers that committed suicide on account to harassment for their sexual orientation.

It bother's be a lot that teenagers would commit suicide like this, but what almost bother's me more is the fact that is was the harassment and abuse from their peers that pushed these teenagers to this brink of suicide.
Homophobia was the bullet. Hate pulled the trigger.
This needs to stop.

The reason that these children have this hatred towards homosexuals, is most likely because this hate is being taught. No hate just exists for no reason, hate is taught. We are all born innocent knowing nothing of the world and around us, from our teachers, parents, and friends, we learn how this world should be formed. It's too often that we use hate instead of love to form our world. It's not right.

These teenagers were so young and had so much of their lives that they could have lived but instead they exist as only memories to those that loved them and ghosts to those that taunted them.

These suicides could have happened to just about anyone. Harassment and bullying happens to kids because they are gay, because they are a different color, because the look strange, because they have a different religion. This is HATE. Hate can only cause Hurt, it does nothing to make our world a better place.

Today as I wear purple I remember peace and equality.
Purple is the color of balence, it brings together two very different colors with two completely differnt personalities together to create something beautiful and new, it's the color of peace and comfort. Purple is the color of harmony. Purple is the color we should use to paint our world.

Today I ask for you to teach your children LOVE.

Teach your children that they are all brothers and sisters,
God created us all equal and beautiful,
We are all special,
We all deserve to be loved.
and Love creates a better world for us all.

Today remember the type of pain hate brings, and bring in love to fill what hate has rotted away from our world.

XOXO

Rah Rah Ah Ah Riah!

Hey I'm Riah! I'm 18 and a First Year college student. I'm born and raised from Minnesota and I love it like words cannot describe! So to start off my blog I'm going to post 15 random facts about myself!

1. My favorite color is Purple! And no, not strictly because of the Vikings because I wear purple year round. It fits my personality perfectly because Purple is wild and intense and bold but also at the same time it can be calm and cool and collected.

2. I have the most odd taste in music. I love stuff such as Owl City, Miniature Tigers, or Maudlin, and then I'll listen to Usher, Lady Gaga and N'Sync. You really can just never know what to expect what's going to come up next on my playlist. However, my current music obsession is Cloud Cult and the title of my blog is actually a Cloud Cult song and so is my URL name thing. (A Girl Underground, and 2x2x2)

3.I'm the oldest of four children. I have a sister who is 14 named "Chacha" who is in her first year of High School right now, a brother named "Zeik" who is 12 years old, and a baby sister I call "Libby" who is 10 years old. Even though they can get on my LAST nerve I've sacrificed a lot for my love for these kids even though they can be brats sometimes.

4. I'm double majoring in English and Biology but I may switch to double minoring with Education and Biology. I have yet to decide yet what I'm doing with all that except I know I want to be a teacher. I've always loved teaching and I want that to be what I do with my life. I love children a lot.

5. I collect stuffed Panda Bears! I love panda's sooo much and I have no idea why because it's a little strange of me but I just really love Panda bears a lot!

6. I like to play sports! Soccer and Football are my top favorite sports but I'm really interested in getting into Rugby. I just need to figure out how ha ha. I'm really aggressive and competitive and I am not very good at sports but I just love playing.... Love it more when I win. :)

7. The reason I live in Minnesota officially is because the Twins beat the Braves in the World Series back in '91. My dad is from Georgia and my mother is from here in Minnesota. They met and married My parents were already sorta planning to move to Minnesota but had not fully decided on it just yet. So, my parents placed a bet. Whoever won the world series would be the state they'd officially choose to live in. I am a Braves fan because I'm glad they lost because I love Minnesota. I know they threw that game on purpose.

8. I'm really affectionate. I love hugs and holding hands and playing with hair and just being cuddly! It's probably one of my favorite things ever! I'm just cuddly <3

9. One time, in my freshman year of high school I had just transferred schools and I accidentally took the wrong bus on like my 2nd day and I ended up at the wrong school. I had to call my parents and have my dad pick me up from the wrong High school and take to to the right one. It was really embarrassing.

10. I like attention. I can't stand feeling like I"m ignored or put down or like my opinion doesn't matter. I like to matter and be included. I Know that sounds like really weird or whatever but I just kinda don't like to be excluded.

11. I can almost entirely recite the movie Mean Girls for you. It is the most AMAZING movie to ever exist! It is basically my entire senior year which isn't such a good thing but it just makes the movie even better.

12. I'm learning, slowly, to speak Hmong. I have a lot of friends that are Hmong and so if you don't know how to speak any of the language you tend to get lost a lot in conversation because everyone swtiches between languages. Actually, it's weird for me to be in class or at school and the conversation not switch from English to some other language. I actually understand everything said in conversations now.

13. I'm really into astrology. I love to study star signs and things such as that and I can figure out a lot about a person just from knowing their birth date because I actually believe they are fairly accurate. I'm a Cancer sign so if you know what that means you can go ahead and start to figure out a lot about me. I have a strange attraction to Virgo males. I'm not sure how that happens but I just am. I seem to always surround myself with them or fall for them.

14. I like to play Piano and Guitar even though I'm not very good at either but I hope to learn and get better soon.

15. I was home schooled through 3rd grade, went to a Charter school from 4th until 6th, and then I went to an Online school, then I went to a Private Lutheran school and then a suburban public school then graduated from an inner city school. I have a diverse educational background.

Okay! That is 15 random facts all about me! Next blog post shall occur soon!
XOXO
