I WILL NOT KEEP SILENT.

I am saddened by how things turned out with this election, I did not vote for him, and I didn't really like Hillary as well. I have never seen so much hate as I have now coming from some of the Trump supporters,   I am saddened by how my Native brothers and sisters are being treated as they fight to keep their sacred lands. I am saddened by how young Native girls and girls everywhere are being sexually abused, beaten, brought down, made to feel shame for being a female, some forced to runaway and sell themselves on the streets just so they can survive feeling that way is much better than what they ran away from. I am saddened that we have homeless children and men and women on the streets, because no one cares enough, I am saddened that children are being abused, going to bed hungry.  I am sad that we live in a world where it's much better to pull out our cell phones and film some people fighting and someone being beaten than it is to step in and say enough or try to break it up, I am saddened to see how the elderly are treated, I am saddened that a young girl thinks it's okay to show her body and starve herself,  because she thinks that is going to make her popular.  I am saddened that teenagers everywhere think it's better to kill themselves than face another day of being bullied and picked on for loving who they wish, being who they want to be, or for being too fat, or to thin. I am saddened that people would rather bury their noses in their cell phones instead of showing concern for those that are silently suffering.  I am saddened by how this became a world of self entitlement, and distance, self centered and turning away, of abuse and hate, of not caring about the Earth and those that are in it. Growing up I  was told I can't do this or I can't do that, that I would never amount to anything,  I was abused, I started to feel like there was no hope, when I was being molested and abused I was told to be quiet to not tell to not feel, I was bullied in high school to the point that I wanted to kill myself, to not fight back as it would make me seem like I was to strong willed, I have been called a bitch, a cunt, a whore, a slut, fat, stupid, for speaking my mind and trying to fight back, I almost gave in and almost kept silent, but I WILL NOT KEEP SILENT.
