To be alone does not mean you're lonely. When you are hated for being who you are makes you feel alone. My girlfriend, my best friend, and I are all going through being alone, however, we are alone together. Discrimination against an entire social group is not only an issue on the streets or in the workplace, but in schools. When you're scared to come to school because you worry that something might happen to you or someone might say something to you, it should be shut down immediately. To whoever, don't feel lonely when you're alone because there are people who will stand by you.
