I'm different in school for not being like everyone else. I don't wear fancy clothes and I definitely act different then all of them. And yet, I'm still getting goo in my hair, being harassed myself. It's your choice in life that you must choose. No one should harass you because of what your differences are.
Some people can be so cruel.
Domestic violence affects people of all ages and all cultures. This is not simply disputes between parents or siblings, this includes child and spouse abuse as well. When I was living with my father, a child abuser, I not only had to cope with the pain of physical beatings, but the emotional abuse was almost unbearable. As if that in itself weren't enough, I had to see terrifying images such as my oldest brother being choked by my father, then thrown on the floor and kicked down the stairs. Trust me been there done that.
