The shame we carry forward from youth, and the empathy of writing

[Edited to add, 12/14/2022: Just to clarify, All the Better Part of Me, the novel mentioned below about the 25-year-old bi man, is a coming-out story, but it is probably the only one I will ever write. I have since moved on to the more hopeful scenario: LGBTQIA+ characters getting to have adventures alongside the straight and/or cis characters

I'm sorry you had such a hard time at school! I was bullied at primary school and it affected me for years.

Hugs! Kids are awful to each other, aren't they? It does seem, though, from looking at my own kids, that things are getting slightly better. At least in some communities. Let's hope!
