Silence is a weapon, one we can break, by encouraging others to know they are not alone and that what they are going through is valid.\n<br>\n<br>Not only could a simple message help someone understand more of what they are going through, but it could save someone's life. Something as simple as a sentence can be the push someone needs to keep fighting, and to keep standing up for themselves.
