When you’re the target, you do anything you can to protect yourself.
When we act out of anger or fear, we can hurt people we don’t mean to hurt.
When people stare at you and talk or they don’t stare but you can tell that they want to, just remember that you know who you are, and they don’t.
We can have the best intentions and still fall short.
We can get better. We can do better. But we still live in a world that is out to break us any way it can.
We all have things we keep hidden. Sometimes, keeping secrets is how you survive.
We all have secrets that we carry with us. And the more we carry, the heavier the load.
Violence begets violence. It just doesn’t always look the same. Some suffer in silence, desperate to escape their pain. Some of us do violence to ourselves. Some try to break the pattern.
There comes a time when enough is enough, and you have to stand up and face up and fight back.
The truth doesn’t always make things right.[to Clay]
The truth can be dangerous. Lies are easier. Until they aren’t anymore.
The popular kids are always mean. That’s how they get popular.
