I don't want to put anyone else at risk but,I alsodon't want to stop the day at my school. I've been fighting so hard to have it here. I never believed the threats but, I can not ignore them now that it's not just me that may or may not be attacked. I can't tell the principles at my school becuase, they haven't done anything about simallar issues in the past. When people wrote fagots and dykes should die on our posters they did no futher investigation. If you have any advice or anything that can help me, let me know. >I don’t know what to do a ton of people are threating to jump and or murder the students participating, for a while they were just threating me becuase I was the one that started it at my school.
