I was bullied all of my life as a child, by schoolmates, housemates, ex-lovers, even strangers. Their words do hurt, and the physical violence hurts worse. No matter what kind of abuse bullies use to torment the ones who are labeled "different" by society, it still scars the victims for their lives. Some have even taken their own lives due to the swarming hatred.
Speak up. Stand up. Stop the cycle. Hate is NEVER the answer. R.I.P. to everyone who has taken their lives from the aftermath of such a preventable method of hatred, rage, and insecurity.
