Bullies, Bigots, & Other Bastards
Ever wondered how someone becomes such a terrible person?

In my first sixteen years, not a day passed without my parents, peers, or teachers, most of whom were strangers
besides my parents, insulting, humiliating, or calling me some derogatory name like "faggot."
I find it difficult to believe adults genuinely believed this treatment of children was some form of tough love or
just "kids being kids." ~Vincent Triola
