I was asked by the lovely and talented May if I would participate in CBC’s “It gets better” video. Of course I said “yes”. The opportunity to tell younger versions of me to hang on wasn’t something I could pass up.
Of course after the fact you think of even more things to say. Namely, “if someone is bullying you, speak to your teachers, parents, or principal. If you are not getting the help you need. Talk to the police and press assault charges and then get a lawyer and sue the school board. No one deserves to get assaulted. And I guarantee they will listen then.”
