I know what it's like...
There is so much I could say about this...
I took a different approach to middle and high school. I denied who I was, lying to myself, family, friends, and others the whole way through. I was bullied semi-regularly, but I did my best to ignore it. Apathy was the only thing that kept me going. In some ways, it still is. I missed out on a lot of experiences- things I'll never be able to go back and do. But as Jonah describes in the video description, your whole life changes when you accept who you are. My life has completely changed.
I do not understand how people have it in their hearts and souls to do this to other people. No word in our language describes how awful it is.
Way to go Jonah! You did what I could not. You're a much stronger person than I am. :salute:
