Tell Us Your Good Deed

I started a tumblr blog that's a safe place for gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgender etc. along with people who get bullied for being "Nerds" or for liking something different where they can just come to de-stress.

Why are you participating?

I believe everyone has to make their own decisions in life. Having people physically and mentally abusing you for how YOU decode you should live YOUR life shouldn't be and option. Just do you, do it right, you only get one book that's your life... Make it a good one.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

Aside from helping my family and friends whenever possible and however I can, I've done a decent amount of work for various animal rights groups, and I also donate 20% of my income to charity. Sorry, I know it's supposed to be one, but I have a tendency to get carried away with things...

Why are you participating?

It's not often that I get to participate with things like this and I love being involved!

Why are you participating?

This project is amazing! It's a creative way to show people the harm labels cause and encourages them to stop judging people. I am so grateful that I get to be a part of it:)

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I love working with the kids I teach! Helping them grow as people throughout the year is so rewarding. When you know your making an impact, all the hard work is worth it.

Why are you participating?

I am participating because pansexual people often have bad stereotypes that follow them. People assume I sleep around, that I just looking for attention, that I'm confused, or even that I'm dangerous. I am who I am. I'm not evil.
