LOVE IS LOUDER

Okay, guys. Here's the post that I promised was coming!
The "Love Is Louder" campaign was co-founded by the Jed Foundation, MTV and Brittany Snow in September 2010, and has already garnered support, publicity and endorsement from millions of people worldwide, including notable names like Seventeen Magazine, Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus and Victoria Justice, among others. However, what the whole concept behind Love Is Louder really relies on, is the love and support of thousands of people, girls, boys, young, old; this campaign is geared towards anyone who's ever put themselves down, or felt inadequate. This campaign gives you the strength you need as individuals to feel loved, and know that the love you have from yourself and others is much stronger than any other negativity you might be hearing. The theme of the campaign is that LOVE is louder than the pressure to be perfect, louder than the voice inside your head saying you're not good enough, louder than the critics, louder than the haters, louder than your demons, louder than the pain, louder than anger, louder than obstacles, louder than the word "can't", and louder than anything else you might have to face or go through in life that knocks you and your self-esteem down. No matter what struggles you face as an individual, Love Is Louder Than The Pressure To Be Perfect seeks to remind you that you are not alone, and that there are others sharing in your struggles, AND sharing the experience of trying to overcome that struggle, too. Love Is Louder relies on the support of the public, of readers like you, to join the foundation and to support the cause in any way you can. The more voices that join the love, the louder it can be, so add your voice to the cause and help show, through sheer power in numbers, that love is louder than any and all negativity. This campaign gave you the love you needed, and showed you that you had the ability to love yourself instead of hating yourself; now give back to the campaign by giving your love to others who need it!
