All Simple Plan Fans are like family. We're all Astronauts. We care about each other even if we haven't met before. It's just a bond that we have, that love we have for Simple Plan. Everyone is always so supportive of each other even when it doesn't involve SP. One fan managed to get through to the finals of some video contest. It didn't have anything to do with Simple Plan but everyone pitched in.
So you can imagine my surprise today when I read that a fellow Astronaut killed herself. She was being endlessly bullied by people in school and on Twitter for being a Bieber fan. What makes it more despicable is that she was being bullied by someone who considers herself an Astronaut too!
WTH! Astronauts are peace-loving ok! We don't bully someone just because they're different. We don't bully anyone at all! We take care of each other, we're there for each other. We don't get jealous because you got to meet the boys and I didn't. No! We're happy for you because we understand the love you have for them. We don't hate you because you happen to like another artist as much as you love SP! We feel for each other. Jeff put it very nicely: Bullying has to stop! We are all connected together. Hurting one hurts all of us.
This person, the bully, was so disrespectful! All Astronauts started trending #RIPAstronautChelsea in memory of the young girl and the bully kept going on about how she 'deserved it' and 'I was sent to the world by God to get rid of Bieber fans' and that she was 'glad' that the young girl killed herself. Again, WTH!
Jeff and Chuck both tweeted RIP Chelsea and Jeff even gave the bully a piece of his mind. The bully apologised but it's so obviously insincere, no one's buying it. You only apologise because Jeff asked you to? Forget it, we're never gonna leave you alone. Not till you mean it.
It's disgraceful how she thinks she calls herself an Astronaut too. I say we should put her in the doghouse for now. You'll earn you Astronaut patch when you show some real remorse. Hate is a powerful thing. Look what happened to an innocent young girl? Imagine what her family must be going through right now. They lost one daughter and the other has cancer. I feel for them.
Jeff called out to all SP fans to show some support, to Chelsea and the bully. Of course, not all SP fans will be ok so fast, but I think we'll get there. I think it's good that Jeff stepped in. He didn't just sit by and watch this unfold. It's one of the best things about them.
Anyway, RIP Astronaut Chelsea. You will be missed, by those who didn't know you and especially by those who did. Astronauts all sing for you tonight.
Like a shooting star, flying across the room,
So fast, so far,
You were GONE TOO SOON.
