@JGoldman10,
You know, I defended all the, what they called "nurds" at school, mind you the pink jumper my Mother made me wear made me look like one to... But that wasn't it, it was about "WT"people have a right to be themselves and for instance, some can not help that they have a hole in their heart, can not help that they suffer for exma and also their last name is Finger and their dad is a teacher, true story :)Mind you she almost drowned me, trying to save herself, lucky for me.
I recall two girls coming to attack me, breaking out of a girls home, I was warned all be it from a girl who hated me, she just thought it was funny.
Street fighter? I beat both girls..... No one picked on me again....
Guess from there I became very "street smart" as I left home at 16, guess I didn't take crap from anyone either, still don't .. Is crap allowed? The word?
Jas... moral of this story, which I have never shared, is this.
If you stand tall, believe in yourself, nothing wrong with having a heart, you don't need to take crap but you also learn to "laugh" at what seems to be fun, comments, you know? Not everything is dished out at someone to take crap sometimes it's counter-act and be on their level.
I guess it's lessons learnt in life, there are many.
If you want to project someone tough that can stand on his own two feet?
Then why not start with you? Without like people say, capitals, yelling, you are intelligent, reply in jest... Why? Because then you are internet smart and don't take crap:)
Same really isn't it? Alot of these people have been through "crap" themselves but hey, they are also happy with who they are:)
You've got good vision... Go make the comic, firefly gave some really good resources, don't look for answers when they are in front of you.
