had to repost and not just ❤️ it cuz it resonated with me. its been years since i’ve been in school and still to this day i look back and cringe and wish my experience was different. you can ask me rn if i would go back to school and do it all over again and i would still say hell to the no! being teased for being different, not knowing which lunch table to sit at, being too shy to put yourself out there or defend yourself, i went through all those things. our schools have been toxic places for a long time and sadly it gets worse instead of better as we advance as a society. i feel for the kids today, they have to deal with a lot more than i did. school shootings have tripled since i graduated. social media wasn’t even a thing when i was in school and i’m glad. its bad enough being bullied to your face by a few kids but imagine being bullied by strangers all over the world? if you weren’t popular or felt left out or got by by being practically invisible, i feel for you. and if you happen to be one of those popular kids now or this was your status years ago, please read this and follow its example. most remember the bad experiences more but deep down they are also grateful for the few people/things that made it all bearable. if you have kids or just take care of them, teach them how to be kind. hate is taught and it can spread like a bad version of telephone. do you really want to be that kind of teacher? xoxo 💋 🏫 #randomrant #backtoschool #mixedgirlrants #mixedkids #mixedteens #mixedgirlproblems #classof2020 #collegelife https://www.instagram.com/p/B2DM_xKlHCG/?igshid=1hz11p6lxiu2c
