To the boys at school: Way to represent the gender... Tools. I don't think there's a woodshed far enough away from civilization to drag your sorry asses behind where the screams wouldn't wake the neighbors.  To the parents: Grrr. How about you try being actual parents and putting your daughter before your own convenience. This pisses me off more than the boys being cruel. How fucking insensitive and self-serving can you get? The administration's decision to transfer you away was the most sensitive (even though clinical and institutional) thing that came out of the whole situation. At least they had your back, kind of. As for you, @betxi, way to be strong! You didn't fold, and that takes some moxy. I'm not going to say that I know how you felt or feel now; I didn't go through anything as fucked up as you have. I was a victim of the hazing part of the equation for a good many years, and it does a number on a person's self worth. I bottled it up and walked on, and just burned from the inside out. Living in dread of coming into contact with people is scarring, and is no kind of life. I admire your tenacity and am so glad you found the inspiration and a way to start healing on your own; it shows a remarkable resiliency and will, that it renders the guys' cruelty impotent, and ultimately, pathetic. Much love to you! We, I can confidently say, have your back. All the way. I'm glad you came home to the family you should have had back then. 

you have very good taste

Awesome. Have a great one my dear

Just stopping by to say that your shoulder tattoo is neat!
