So "Carrie" is a film about a girl who is   bullied mercilessly by her classmates for being different.

But Carrie haunts us so much because the torment   that she faces is all too real.

If not for ourselves, for the people that we love.

Two of my older brothers are gay and they were   bullied and treated horrifically because of who they are.

I am here tonight to support GLSEN and because   bullying must end once and for all.

Thankfully, GLESN and I have had a lot of help.

Students across the country are working with this incredible organization

to ensure that every single student, whether they are gay, perceived to be gay

transgender, a person of color, disabled, or whatever makes   them different, is safe in their school.

Tonight, we celebrate an individual who is doing everything   she can to make her peers feel included

respected, and accepted regardless of who they are.

I am honored to be here to introduce to   you GLSEN's 2013 Student Advocate of the Year

Laila is a senior at her school at   La Costa Canyon High School in Carlsbad.

A champion in her community who never shies away   from an opportunity to make a difference.

Laila has worked tirelessly to ensure that all of her   students are treated equally and respectfully on her campus.

Laila has also fought to bring GLSEN's programs to her school

including the Safe Space Program and the Day of Silence.

and reached out personally to her teachers on campus   to build a network of allies for students

and used the Student's Press to speak eloquently about   her own experiences as a lesbian teen.

Her teachers and mentors call Laila courageous, empathetic, and determined.

GLSEN is proud to call her its 2013 Student   Advocate of the year. Proudly presented by AT&T.
