(Jare here. My eyes are doing much better, in fact, better than they have as a team in probably more than 5 years, so I'm pretty happy with the results. Now, we'll sit back and see what my health insurance will cover.)
Thursday, the NBCUniversal family – including NBC 6 – will join with GLADD and Go Purple to celebrate Spirit Day. The initiative encourages people nationwide to take a stand against bullying and show solidarity with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth.
You can join in the efforts by wearing purple to help send a message of unity and that bullying is wrong and unacceptable.

I got my purple shirt on! :D
To me, the day means an opportunity to remember your worth and validity. It's about not being subject to and limited by your current situation. It's acknowledging that 'sacred' you, deep inside and taking care of yourself, rejecting negative influences and weapons constructed to demean and diminish you.
You do not deserve to be bullied. Ever. Surround yourself with true friends--not the fair weather kind--allies who will look out for you, and who share in your successes and joys.
Above all, stay safe, whether that means to come out, or to stay where you're at for the time being. The time is right when you say it is, and not anyone else. Know you're loved.
