    “No, you don't know what it's like
    When nothing feels all right
    You don't know what it's like
    To be like me
    To be hurt
    To feel lost
    To be left out in the dark
    To be kicked when you're down
    To feel like you've been pushed around
    To be on the edge of breaking down
    And no one's there to save you
    No, you don't know what it's like
    Welcome to my life”

    Marie Lu
    “But sometimes, people kick you to the ground at recess because they think the shape of your eyes is funny. They lunge at you because they see a vulnerable body. Or a different skin color. Or a different name. Or a girl. They think that you won't hit back - that you'll just lower your eyes and hide. And sometimes, to protect yourself, to make it go away, you do.

    But sometimes, you find yourself standing in exactly the right position, wielding exactly the right weapon to hit back.”

    “Every time you post something online, you have a choice.
    You can either make it something that adds to the happiness levels in the world—or you can make it something that takes away.

    I tried to add something by starting Girl Online.

    And for a while, it really seemed to be working.

    So, next time you go to post a comment or an update or share a link, ask yourself: is this going to add to the happiness in the world?

    And if the answer is no, then please delete.

    There is enough sadness in the world already. You don’t need to add to it.”

    “People try to say suicide is the most cowardly act a man could ever commit. I don't think that's true at all. What's cowardly is treating a man so badly that he wants to commit suicide.”

    John Scalzi
    “1. Everyone is entitled to their opinion about the things they read (or watch, or listen to, or taste, or whatever). They’re also entitled to express them online.

    2. Sometimes those opinions will be ones you don’t like.

    3. Sometimes those opinions won’t be very nice.

    4. The people expressing those may be (but are not always) assholes.

    5. However, if your solution to this “problem” is to vex, annoy, threaten or harrass them, you are almost certainly a bigger asshole.

    6. You may also be twelve.

    7. You are not responsible for anyone else’s actions or karma, but you are responsible for your own.

    8. So leave them alone and go about your own life."
