1 年Student wish / sharing Dear Gabe, (Prevents student from suicide) You recently visited my high school, Tanque Verde. Your story basically saved my life. Early this week, I was thinking of ending my life. Not due to bullying but because of other reasons. You showed me that life is what you make it and that it can/will get better. You have given me such a hope and a will to see my bright future. Thank you so much for speaking to us and may you continue spreading your inspiration across the US, across the world. You are a true hero. posted by Anonymous on March 4, 10:22 PM ion https://m.audiobooks.com/audiobook/gabe-and-izzy-standing-up-for-americas-bullied/211632
