From the
“Defy the Hate” Facebook invite:
A “Defy the Hate” photo shoot will take place in the student
lounge area at Laramie County Community College in Cheyenne on Tuesday, Feb. 14
(Valentine’s Day), 11 a.m.-5 p.m.
This shoot will conducted in honor of those who have
committed suicide due to bullying. This shoot is also a community awareness
shoot. Suicide and bullying is a growing problem. Too many of our youth are
ending their lives needlessly. Too many teachers,
principles, guidance counselors, and even some parents are turning a blind eye
to this. Schools are saying that they have no record of some kids being
bullied... really, how many kids feel safe to come to a teacher about this? How
many kids have to lose their lives to this disease of bullying, ignorance, and
indifference before someone realizes this is a problem? Schools are supposed to
be a safe place. It seems the schools have become a battleground for the lives
of the kids that go there. Come to this open shoot and make a stand against
bullying and suicide. Come show the schools and bullies that you aren't going
to put up with their hate and indifference any longer. It is time to be heard.
Let’s show everyone that the community of Cheyenne won't stand for this.
Photography will be provided by
Flux Photography Studios and Lunar Studios. More info will be added as it
becomes available.
