For those who don't know what Spirit day is, it is a day when anyone can wear purple to show their support to the young LGBTQ community and to go against the bullying of people because of who they are.
To put this into a bigger picture, let's view the percentages. Around 85.2% of LGBTQ students have reported that they have been verbally harassed because of their identity. However 57.6% have not reported the bullying because they doubted that there would be an intervention.
Even though Spirit Day was October 19, you can still spread the word about bullying the LGBTQ youth community and donate to https://www.glaad.org/spiritday#how to help spread the word and donate.
