Stand-Up against bullying. #StandUp18

This week, 12th - 16th November is National Stand-Up against homophobic bullying week.



This will be a quick blog ...

 90% of LGBT youth experience mental health issues with 70% feeling unsafe in school.

Check out this heartfelt video by James Mitchell TV; he talks about the relief and support he felt after opening up to his friend Steph as part of the #BetterOutThanIn campaign for LGBT youth. Taking the brave step of opening up to someone you trust is worth it.





If you are struggling to start your conversation with a family member or friend, stick one of these on the DVD player and start watching it.



I've watched them all and love them for different reasons but Love, Simon is my fave.  I've blogged a review of the book HERE 


And the movie HERE 


Anyway, that's me done for today.

 Live Long and Prosper and talk to someone today...

John The Captain Ryan
