  • Sat, 15:45: RT @glirebunny: There are two things about that, though. One is that school policy got me suspended for 'instigating'; two is that it stopp…
  • Sat, 15:45: RT @glirebunny: I was told I had 'anger issues' and sent to a counselor. I was allowed to see that counselor at any point in the day if I f…

  • Sat, 15:45: RT @glirebunny: 1. The perceived problem was successfully transferred to my response and not the initial targeted campaign of harassment.

  • Sat, 15:45: RT @glirebunny: 3. The long-term solution to this was to tell me to remove myself from the place I had every right to be in, a place suppos…
  • Sat, 15:45: RT @glirebunny: 4. The bullying never stopped. Why would it? It was condoned by the state. It may as well have been legalized.
  • Sat, 15:45: RT @glirebunny: There was a point at the end of grade 8 where my bullies decided to get in one last parting shot before they never saw me a…

  • Sat, 15:46: RT @glirebunny: Violent protest is not a long-term solution. All it does it defend people from harm happening right then and there.
  • Sat, 15:46: RT @glirebunny: But if nobody will protect you, if you cannot stand violent rhetoric being ignored for one second longer, what other recour…
  • Sat, 15:46: RT @glirebunny: The long-term solution is to show bullies that the world will not accept their broken, failed ideology. In the meantime, pu…
