Video : Get your tissue box out!
USA : Gay Teen Austin Wallis faced expulsion from his high school if he did not go back into the closet. But instead he decided to leave the school ran by a homophobic headmaster and share his emotional story with the world, via his popular Youtube channel.
Hey guys, so this is my school situation. I'm sorry for all the tears, this was an emotional video, but i wanted everybody to know whats happening, things like this should not be allowed in our country,or anywhere, especially in our schools where we shape our children for their future . Children should not be oppressed for who they are. Help us be the change, be the change. Lets fix the world together.
“I don't want people to think that I left just because of the social media. It was because I can’t stay somewhere where I feel like I’m being forced into something that I’m not, or I feel like I’m not wanted by my own principal…I’m not a bad student. I really want to try and change this. I think it’s ridiculous that in this day and age you can be excluded from your own school for being gay. When I came out I knew I was going to have bullies and I knew people were not going to be okay with it. But i never expected it to be from the peole who were supposed to protect you from the bullies. Who were supposed to try to stop that. And then they themselves are the bullies.”
