Wear purple on October 20, 2010, to celebrate Spirit day. Spirit Day would be celebrated on October 20, 2010 to stand against bullying and harassment.

For the past few months, in United States of America as well as many other parts of the world, bullying and harassment have been making headlines. Harassment and bullying of homosexuals is top on the list.

Spirit Day is being celebrated to spread awareness and stand against bullying and harassment. The color of the Spirit Day celebration is purple. All those who stand against harassment and bullying are asked to wear purple on October 20, 2010.

Bullying is now becoming a trend especially in teens. The trend of bullying and harassment is getting out of control as the time passes. People, especially teens, are taking bullying as fashion and feel proud while doing it.

Spirit Day is dedicated to spreading awareness about drawbacks of bullying, as in the past few months, many teens in the United States have committed suicide because of bullying, homosexual harassment and homophobia.

"Wear purple on October 20 and stand against this brutal trend", this is the message behind Spirit Day. The best way to show your support for all those who lost their lives is to wear purple on October 20, 2010. One can wear purple in any form; it can be your t-shirt or trouser or cap.

Also, let your Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and IM display wear purple on October 20, 2010.
