P ! N K

In an incident two Nova Scotian students helped out a grade nine student being bullied because of what he wore. The students names were David Shepard and Travis Price, who helped the grade nine students from being bullied by two grade 12 students because he was wearing a pink shirt, which they tought was not for men, and was considered "gay" and they kept on harassing him and calling him a "fag". So they decided to start a campaign, in which on 1 day of the school year, everyone would wear pink. They told everyone to wear pink on Facebook, and called them. The next day, almost everyone wore pink, leading to a full fledged campaign. And the miorities of the students that didn't wear pink were handed out dollar store pink tank tops. I belive that the bullies did a wrong thing, by classifying the kid because he wore a pink shirt, which is just wrong, it doesn't matter who you are, where you're from, what you wear, or what you listen to. We are all the same.

  1. Great start, Ali! Remember that a opinion piece needs to be a minimum of three paragraphs. Can't wait to read more in your summative assignment.
