I am so sick of all of the hate in this country.

The comments that I hear on a daily basis from people appall me.

Why do they think that it is OK to hate people just because of their race, gender, or sexuality?

Has our country not evolved enough to learn that love trumps hate?

How can we boast about how great America is if we cannot even learn to love, or at the very least, respect each other?

Just because someone is different from you does not mean that it is OK to discriminate towards them.

With suicide rates in the U.S being the highest that they have been in half a century, it is important to look at ourselves and ask ourselves if we are treating people in a way that we would want to be treated.

Almost every week there is some story about some kind of hate crime causing devastating effects, such as suicide or mass shootings.

Little 9 year-old's do not need to be bullied for being gay to the point where they commit suicide.\

I mean how ridiculous is that? That some little kid who has not even had a chance to find his place in the world was bullied so hard for something that he was born as. He never will get to fall in love, never get to go to college, and never get to see the beauty that this world had to offer, because instead he was surrounded by hate from his peers.

It is time that we all take action.

Enough is enough.

Everyone can do something about this.

Parents need to raise their kids to accept everyone. It does not matter if they do not agree with them religiously. It matters that they raise their child to be a decent human being.

We need to be preaching love. Not hate.

Children learn a lot of what they believe from their parents, so it is important that they are raising their kids to respect others.

Teach them to stand up for the kids getting made fun of in class.

The rest of us who are already grown up need to act like it.

I don't care what you believe or what you think about people of other races or sexualities.

You do not need to be derogatory towards them.

Everybody is a person and has feelings. Think about that snarky racist comment before you say it and the effect that it could have on someone else.

Not only does saying stuff like that come off as rude and could hurt people badly, it also make you look ignorant.

This country has been fueled by hatred and discrimination for too long.

So lets all be better to those around us, for our generation in the next.
