I just watched a doc on SAFE ..... .... .. .

Jeeeeeezus... this story shocks my system every time. We put children on pedestals and then soon after puberty we expect total compliance. How dare they act out...? I guess? What behooves multiple levels of society, from the media to the legal system, to torture teens? I can't wrap my head around how these industries are justified by people. Our cognitive dissonance is truly astounding!

This is where every kid who commits unprovoked assault on other kids, or anyone else, should go. Nobody else. But children and teenagers currently get away with assaulting each other more easily than they get away with drinking underage and shoplifting, which is backwards, those aren't as serious crimes.

Okay but I would totally wear a shirt that says ask me why I’m a slut

Lillian Schuster

Huh. TrueAnon just did this amazingly, based on Braces own experiences

Sean Carton
