kids get bullied, frequently, because they’re “weird”. but it just so happens that the traits society calls “weird” are overwhelmingly related to poverty, minority religion or ethnicity, neurodivergence, non-straight sexuality, and gender non conformance. 

funny, that.

“Maybe you should stop being ‘weird’ and start acting in a way that makes other kids like you”

Conversation about special interests (also a play on the me, an intellectual meme) (tag your special interest)
