So far it only has my article on direct action that is aimed at teenagers but I am slowly building momentum.I don't have any megalomaniacal dreams for the blog so it will serve as a humble hosting site to share my articles.

Below is the link...

As a gay teen myself, these kinds of blogs really do make a difference. There was many times when I was suicidal I just went online and watched It Gets Better videos and the like. So often when you feel alone, all you really need is to know there are other people who are facing the same things and that there are people who understand you and that doesn't always come from the people around you in real life. I look forward to reading anything you post, Comrade.

True, but one thing I always found off putting about the "it gets better" campaign is the implicit message that bullied gay teens should just sit tight and patently wait for things to improve. In a better world people would be struggling to make things better for gay-identifying or questioning youth NOW. Maybe that's just me obnoxiously reading too much into the campaign.

Sir the existence of your blog is very much appreciated; however--

In this life you have undoubtedly already met the ones which have caused you to suffer. These people shouted hurtful slurs at you, defamed your reputation, destroyed your property, spread rumors amongst your peers and even went so far as to imply violence towards you. Awful individuals these people are, though for the sake of convenience I shall,within this article, refer to these troublemakers as ‘pigs;’ because much like the animal these people take while never giving back; they feast your happiness and devour it without regard.
This is pig-libel and I will not stand for it. Pigs are intelligent and good-natured creatures, much like people are led to believe that Dolphins are; and the idea that pigs -- or any animal -- should be expected to "give" anything "back" (and to whom? nature? it'll take their corpse as fertiliser...) is frankly preposterous.
It is a great injustice to compare these human bags of scum (bullies), who take pleasure in the pain they cause, to innocent swine who only care about eating and playing and reproducing. I understand comparisons to animals may serve you stylistically, but we really don't want to give people any bad false impressions of pigs! Hyenas are a much more suitable animal to compare bullies to, especially bullies in groups, in my opinion.

I like you passion but the background it's very distracting, I'm web designer myself although I would have a lot suggestions the first you need to change that background.
