dirty laundry

wow... i never thought i would feel so inspired watching mtv. i stumbled across a new show they are piloting this summer called "if you really knew me." apparently there is this program that travels across the nation and goes to high schools and jr. high schools giving a "challenge day." i watched a preview episode on mtv.com because it doesn't air until tuesday night. it explored the lives of different students from different "cliques" and showed their journey through challenge day. it really gets the kids to open up and allow each other to truly know them and think twice the next time they want to pick on them. it was AMAZING! i don't want to go through all the details because i really want you to watch it and get the full effect, but this program (challenge day and the show) is truly life changing. i hope that challenge day makes it to every high school in the nation because kids need it. people truly begin to believe the label given to them in high school, and sometimes can never outgrow it. bullying, racism, and sarcasm are why kids kill themselves sometimes and so many problems could be eradicated if we were just nicer to each other. anyways, just thought i would throw that out there. watch and be changed.
