"Lafnjim ...you're wrong.
I care.

If anyone reading this is gay,lesbian,transgender,bisexual or questioning your sexuality,just know,there are people just like you,people who can totally relate to you,people who accept you just the way you are.

Love yourself.

If you are even thinking of hurting yourself,please call (866) 4-U-TREVOR [866-488-7386].

It is totally free,and completely confidential.Don't judge yourself by the stupid words of people who are afraid to post their own names.
My name is Beth.
I care."

"Jim,
I'm letting you know right now.
You are a heartless jerk.
I don't say that lightly.
