Im on the edge.

This will be a different blog post today, i am writing this to commemorate two people who lost their lives last week. The first, Jamey Rodemeyer, a 14 year old boy who killed himself because of the bullying he had been through. All because he was gay. Jamey was on twitter and though i didn't personally know him, it cut me to the core that he was driven to such extremes because of what other children said and did to him. Because of his action, a project has been launched called the Paws Up Forever Project, as Jamey was a Lady Gaga fan. It is to help make bullying illegal. The video on youtube reduced me to tears, watch it! We need to make bullying illegal. We need to do it for Jamey. RIP Jamey.

Now the other death is under completely different circumstances. Troy Davis, a man on death row for the murder of an off duty policeman was executed in the early hours of Thursday morning, in Georgia. There was a significant lack of evidence, for example no DNA evidence, no weapon was ever found (the murder happened in 1989) and 7 of the 9 witnesses who said that they saw Troy pull the trigger, have taken back their statements. I believe he was innocent, and even if he was guilty, i strongly oppose the death penalty. I have been campaigning for Troy for a while now, at the Amnesty International meetings at school, we must not let Troy's death be in vain, we must end the death penalty. For more information, got to the Amnesty International website and together we can end this terrible form of punishment.

Thankyou for reading this post, i will keep Jamey and Troy in my heart forever, and i hope you do too. Rest in Peace Jamey Rodemeyer and Troy Davis <3
