    Every day I receive an email from 'UpWorthy' and today I received one that moved me almost to tears because I was a child who was constantly bullied. Not for being gay, just for being quiet. For not being the kid that gets into trouble. For just being me.

    Shane Koyczan is a Canadian poet and I thought I would share his two videos. the first is Shane doing a talk for TED and interspersed within it is his poem and some of it's animation. The second video is the full animation with Shane narrating his poem. Both are incredibly moving.
