And here’s a virtual hug

I had to have mine in bed alone at night. If bullies see you cry, they never let up.

My life is so much better now. I wouldn't want to be a kid again for all the money in the world.

many years about how absurd and unhealthy for all of us is the prohibiton on males crying. As one person said years ago, the whole world needs to sit down and have a good cry.

I am so sorry that you were bullied as a child. I cannot even imagine what it is, and is going to be, like for children these days.

I'm white, straight, and cisgender.

I can't even begin to imagine the horror experienced by young kids who are not all three of those things. Being bullied taught me the importance of empathy, and I'm grateful for that lesson, at least.

is going to be subjected to almost unimaginable levels of cruelty, abuse, and hatred.
