Project Jason

On June 13,2001 a mother went through a very tough day, her 19 year old son Jason had went missing. He was called into work early and was glad to go but had no ride there a female coworker was supposed to pick him up at the high school seven blocks down the road. It was believed that Jason got dressed in his uniform and headed off to meet his ride at the school. It was later told that the coworker showed up at the school and waited for Jason to arrive but he never did so she went back to work. The mother states she did not know anything until Jason's father called and asked if she had heard from Jason. Jason was known to be a responsible young adult and not showing up for work was not his thing. So the parents waited like any other parent for 24 hours before they contacted the police. Jason's parents didn't know what to think, His bank account hadn't been touched so it wasn't like he ran away. They said he hadn't shown anything out of the ordinary to prove maybe he commited suicide. They said he was a good kid and had a lot going for him,they never really had a reason to believe he was into any kind of trouble. The mother logged onto a computer and looked up how many missing people there still were to this day and she made herself a promise that her son's picture would not be on there as long as the others. Jason's parents didnt know where to turn for help. So they started Project Jason with the goal of not only reaising the awarness but to provide families of the missing with useful information.
Its amazing how something so little can go so far. By starting Project Jason, there were a couple of families reunited with their missing loved ones. All it takes is a little effort to help try and get the job done. Sometimes all you can do is hope and pray but it helps when you put forth some effort to help the sitiuation.

Bullying

Some people don't seem to think bullying is an issue, that it is something that is normal. That it is something everyone will go through at some point in life. They say, "Oh everyone has been through at one point in their life." People don't understand that not everyone can brush things off their backs like you can or laugh it off and let it go. Sometimes when someone is being bullied they take it very hard. They let it get to them and sometimes it consumes their life and daily schedules. Some people have been bullied their whole life and still don't know how to deal with it. The bullying hurts so bad that all they seem to think about it the worthless person inside of them. They have tried to be positive and look beyond the hurtful words and pranks. They have tried to reach out and get help from adults or staff but they do nothing but say,"Just ignore them or we will keep an eye out." But nothing ever gets done about it. How long can you ignore something? If you had cancer, how long could you ignore it? You say well cancer is very different from bullying. How? Being bullied eats away inside of you and is slowly breaking you down until your dying day. Being bullied isn't a joke, it isn't something that should be shook off. Young kids are killing themselves because they think they have no where else to turn. Because no one was strong enough to stand up to the bullys and put an end to it. Because everyone thought that the person being bullied was over reacting. That they just wanted attention. It wasn't the attention they wanted, they just wanted to be happy again. No one ever knows every detail of someones past, maybe they have been through some pretty tough stuff and when you bully them all they think of is "My life is never gonna be good, I'm never gonna be good enough." Help make someones life brighter and put an end to the bullying.
