I wish I would have participated in this, yesterday. As someone who had to deal with my bullies from 5th grade to the end of my senior year, alone, I would have been very supportive of Pink shirt day. No one should have to be ridiculed and have their self-esteem lowered by people with even lower self-esteem. Everyone deserves better than that, and to the other people who were bullied, you deserve true happiness and love from all.
