Whoa. This is horrible, Laura! I had no idea and I'm so sorry. So disgusting and terrible. I believe I had a similar kind of person at my school, but never knew of any advances or actions. Just a feeling I had at a young age.

Thanks for this, Will, and it was one of those experiences that no kid should have to go through. I am so grateful I was able to emerge from it more cynical but wiser. XO

It saddens me to know this happened to you, Laura, especially at such a young age. There is no punishment harsh enough for robbing someone’s innocence and faith in humanity.

Thank you, Jane! It's true, and I know I'm not alone, with these experiences in my past. I am happy that now kids are encouraged to speak up. It makes me hopeful about the future. XO

Sadly, Laura, we’re learning just how commonplace these predatory actions were/are. When brave people, like yourself, speak out, it encourages others to follow suit. Sending love and hugs ❤️
