Bullying

Written by cycleguy on July 23rd, 2014

I’m on vacation this week and wanted to leave you with a “daily something.”

Anyone who knows me knows I have a big “like” for Stryper. They were an ’80s hair band who took a stand for Christ. They made mistakes and eventually disbanded. They have gotten back together and released several recordings: Second Coming (a remake of their ’80s hits), Covering (covers of some music they grew up with), and the latest “No More Hell to Pay.” Needless to say, I like them.

Michael Sweet is their lead singer and he has come out with a solo album called “Not Your Suicide.” This song is the title song. I know it may not be your cup of tea, but the message is vital. Bullying is on the rise and suicide has been and continues to be a “rising star” among teens. This song was written to tell them they are not alone. Part of the proceeds for the sale went to Childhelp, an organization which helps victims of bullying and abuse.

    It is a needed message, Bill. You’re still such a rocker!

    Extremely needed message, Bill. I just read of another teen who was teased for being small and committed suicide. It’s pointless and just breaks my heart.
