Last night during a very disturbing but hopefully eye-opening episode of ‘Glee‘ revolving around bullying and teen suicide a brand new PSA for The Trevor Project featuring Daniel Radcliffe aired.
The Trevor Project is a non-profit organization that specializes in the support of LGBTQ youth. They have a very large presence among social media thanks to Facebook and Twitter, as well as annual celebrity events in Los Angeles and New York to help raise funds and spread awareness. Thanks to their annual events I was made aware, as well as many others, and now they have the capability to use star power and reach out to millions more.
Not only will Daniel Radcliffe‘s Broadway and Harry Potter fan base alone reach out to millions of youth all over the world, but airing the PSA during ‘Glee‘ will help spread it among the youth who watch with siblings, parents, or other family and friends.
If you are being bullied, are depressed, or are having thoughts of suicide please call The Trevor Project: (866) 488-7386. It is strongly encouraged you save this number into your phone – you never know when you will need to talk to someone! No matter what is going on in your life at any time there is always someone out there who thinks you are worth listening to and saving – stranger or not.
