Individuality is a wonderful thing

And this video aims to inspire those who are different to foster that individuality rather than conform to the ideas others have about us.



I particularly like the following:
Robert Frost wrote a poem about taking the road less travelled, but he never mentioned the bullies, hecklers, and know-it-alls who repeatedly block your way. Don't let them stop you--or doubt yourself.

The video is dedicated to Matthew Shepard, who was tortured and killed at age 21 in an anti-gay hate crime, and Phoebe Prince, who committed suicide at age 15 after persistent bullying.

The video is available for download to schools and other organisations to use in their anti-bullying/diversity programmes at http://www.4shared.com/video/ktKDqdqP/To_You_Who_Are_Different.html.
