Children are psychopaths. And growing up and being a royal asshole to people, then becoming self aware and realizing how you’ve hurt… Basically your community that you’ve lived most of your life so far with, can be a pretty sobering experience.

I don’t know how old exactly you are, but when I was growing up, there was this absolutely stupid fad of calling anything you didn’t like “gay”. Like, oh, your pet bird died? Aww, that’s gay, I’m sorry for your loss. The umpire made a bad call again? They’re all so fucking gay.

It wasn’t even until recently that I realized how homophobic my brother has always been. I remember him talking about how his teachers had began punishing kids for saying stuff like that, for using gay wrong, and how he would retort by saying “no, i mean they’re gay like ‘has sex with men’.” Teenagers can be such little shits, ya know?
