I was inspired to create this challenge by whoever had created an anti-bullying wallpaper challenge. I want to do the same. I've been hearing a lot about bullying in the news lately. Mainly it's about kids who just can't take the bullying anymore. So they decide to end their life. And it makes me so sad. Why do people have to be so hateful anymore? I wondered what I could do about spreading the message about anti-bullying and then I came up with the idea to host this wallpaper challenge. Bullying needs to end. There are too many forms of it;cyber bullying, racism, name calling, there are just too many forms to name but you should get the idea.
Recently in the news I heard about a boy named Trayvon Martin. Trayvon Martin is a 17 year old high school student who was the victim of racism and prejudice. He was shot and killed by self appointed neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman. He was shot and killed in Sanford, Florida and lots of protests and petitions have broken out because it. This challenge is in memory of this boy. I may have not known him but I want to make this challenge a tribute to him, Trayvon Martin. He shouldn't have been shot because of selfish racism. Here is the full story here.

In this challenge I want you guys to create a wallpaper with an anti bullying message. I want to see more uplifting wallpapers and to spread the message that bullying is wrong. Also in your wallpapers or in the description of the wallpaper I would like to see a dedication to Trayvon Martin. He should have not been the victim of bullying because of one person's hate and prejudice. All it has to say, is something like "In memory of Trayvon Martin, we will always remember you. We may have not known you but we wish that you were still here with us." You don't have to say that exactly but something along those lines. I feel like this boy should have these wallpapers dedicated to him. I will also be creating one to show as well. Here is an example of what I mean.
