@amyomilstead My high school librarian saved me. I was bullied so badly during high school. She let me eat lunch with her every day and would let me look through catalogs and pick what books she should order for the school library. On my worst days, I ran to the library and she let me stay.

Pay attention to the people who excuse Prince William's physical assault of Prince Harry and insist it should have been kept private. They are the abusers amongst us. If not the abusers, they are the silent enablers.
