In a group pressure can feel strong,
Pushing, pulling, all day long.
Friends may say, "Do what we do,
Follow along, it's easy to do."
But inside, a voice may speak,
Saying, "Be yourself, don't be meek."
It's hard to choose, it's hard to fight,
When peer pressure says what's wrong is right.
But listen close, to that voice inside,
It knows what's true, it's your guide.
Stand your ground, don't give in,
Being yourself is how you win.
Peer pressure tries, but you can say no,
Be strong, be brave, let your true self show.
In the end, it's what you choose to do,
Staying true to yourself, staying true to you.

The Evolution of LGBT Portrayal in TV and Film
Happy Pride Month, all! I love Pride Month and everything that comes with it; the celebration, the festivities, the prestige. Pride Month is the ultimate beacon of positivity. Now sadly, there are a bunch of people in society who aren't really crazy about Pride Month and have their things to say against it. To those people, I'll only say this. There's a special place reserved for people who are against Pride Month. I'm too much of a gentleman to say it here, but I'll give a few hints: it rhymes with "bell," and I'm not talking about the city in Michigan.
