    For so long we have under estimated the power of coming out and expressing how we feel. Sometimes our parents contributes to our hurt, why am l saying this it is because we are told from young age that we must be quiet, don't tell any one. This course gives hope and the clip of the movie that you are not alone it is okay to be not okay tell someone you trust and get some help. Tell it now even if you are a kid tell it now.
    It so informative.
