There are some pretty standard things that get on people's nerves, and sometimes you only discover them by accident. Unfortunately you find out either by sensing someone's about to blow, or they DO blow :(

Some of them use it like a mousetrap.

It stands for 'Student Support Officer.'

When you say "got too close", we're talking actual sexual harrassment? Why didn't you say anything?

No, he got in my personal space, which made me angry.

Did you let him know verbally? And did he not comply?

Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.

Actually, violence is the first refuge of the incompetent.

It was a harsh learning experience, sweetie, and that is that grown-ups are sometimes insensitive and stupid and violent, and are some of our worst triggers.

I hope you're doing better with your anger, and are able to say what you need from someone. The fact you're talking about it now means you're dealing with all of that pain, and are almost ready to move on.

Take care.

Now I understand the school thing. That was long ago. Formal education is babysitting. Education is self development. It is never easy, there are false steps, but it is all we have. Three choices only, backward, stuck, or forward. There are three billion men, you could never find that many pencils,you have to come up with another way.

I am new here, I thought RedMage was insightful, humorous, one of the stars of the show, before I found out she was 15. You are the only person, besides myself, who said, I do not like music. I enjoyed 8 bit theatre.

You have a lot to work with. Sometimes doing nothing is right, sometimes playing video games, and there will be other times and other things, but only one RedMage.
