When I was in school, a bully punch me in the face and laughed about it. I didn’t fight back, I just walked away. We were both suspended. We both came back to school. They kept bullying me.

If this happened at work, the offender would have been fired on the spot.

Being an adult can suck, but we should stop telling kids how amazing they have it and how it gets so much worse being an adult. Some kids really do have it bad.

If I had known that life got better after school, maybe I wouldn’t have been so damned depressed at the age of 13.
