Earlier tonight, a girl from Kent, Washington on Tumblr (a sort of blog/social networking site I frequent) posted her suicide note on her blog. Within seconds, at least a hundred of Tumblr users reblogged it to gain awareness. Using her IP address, they found out her name and where she lived. The Kent City Police Department got over fifty calls from all across the nation warning them about her plans. They got to her in time. A hundred of teenagers who had never met each other in real life, most didn’t follow this girl’s blog personally, saved a life. This is something that blows my mind, and I think that I’m a better person because of it. There is good in this world and on the internet, contrary to popular belief. <3 Thank you for reading this and please keep Haleigh Hess in your prayers.I am not even sure why, I just want as many people as I possibly can to know about the pure love and awesomeness that happened tonight.
Powerful!
