There was a man. Kirk Smalley. He visited our school. He looked like a simple guy. Ordinary. Only, he wasn't. His son had commited suicide after being suspended. Want to know why he was suspended? Because he made the second hit to a boy who had been bullying him for two years.
The family had a plan to go on a hunting trip. Their son died only weeks before the hunting trip. Kirk and his wife went anyway, for their son. They vowed to bring back a buck for him. And a buck they did. They got the biggest buck they had ever seen. A man donated his time to make two beautiful blue glass eyes for the dear, as shown below.
There's more than that. There was this young girl. Seven years old. Seven. She threatened to kill herself because a boy in her class threatened to kill her on the last day of school. The worst part, she knew how she was going to do it. She had it all planned out. She was going to climb up her dad's shelves and grab his gun. It's horrible when a seven year old knows how she's going to kill herself. It's messed up.
So, a man founded an organization to Stand for the Silent. Him and his wife started this in the 2010. They've gone far with this organization. They've been all acrossed the U.S, and have even met Obama. Even better? Lady Gaga is all for this organization.
