Bullying is killing our kids. Being different is killing our kids and the kids who are bullying are dying inside. We have to save our kids whether they are bullied or they are bullying. They are all in pain.
A hurtful act is the transference to others of the degradation which we bear in ourselves.
I don't think there is anything particularly wrong in hitting a woman, though I don't recommend you do it the same way that you hit a man.
It's possible to fall in love with somebody who doesn't treat us well, who makes us feel worse about ourselves, who doesn't hold the same respect for us as we do for them, or who has such a dysfunctional life themselves that they threaten to bring us down with them.
It is easy to kick a person when he is down.
Poisonous people do not deserve your time. To think otherwise is masochistic.
But there are people who'll try to hurt you through the good they see in you--knowing that it's the good, needing it and punishing you for it. Don't let it break you when you discover that.
I have been affected by gossip and I know people who have been, too. I've seen marriages destroyed by gossip. It is cruel. At the end of the day, all that matters is: Do you love what you see when you look in the mirror? That is it, baby.
There was no such thing as child abuse. Parents owned their children. They could do whatever they wanted.
When you meet a lot of people and you date somebody, or you're just in a relationship with friends, lovers, business, or whatever it may be, there are people that are just toxic to you, and you don't even know it yourself.
When we fail to set boundaries and hold people accountable, we feel used and mistreated.
I get bullied a lot on social media, and it's terrible.
Thumbs grow into my throat. I wear slaps like a spot of rouge.
Children are holy and pure. Even those of bandits and crocodiles belong among the angels.... They must not be turned into a plaything of one's mood, first to be tenderly kissed, then rabidly stomped at.
I will no longer allow anyone to manipulate my mind and control my life in the name of love.
The violence betwen women is unbelievable. Women try to make each other crawl so that their knees are bleeding.
I am stuffing your mouth with your promises and watching you vomit them out upon my face.
It's very alienating to become a target, and it can be really difficult to try and explain to people, to family members.
A lot of times, when parents overdiscipline their children, especially when they're queer, their intention isn't to hurt them. They think they're saving their children from harm. But they don't realize that they're causing harm, that they're doing to their kids exactly what they're afraid of the world doing to them.
What's so sad is when we're younger, if you have a bad parent, that is normal to you and that's what you think of as healthy.
I weighed 84 pounds when I was 14. I was an easy target for the other kids.
All men hate the nagging.
When men act up by being degrading, dismissive, condescending, shut off, or sullen, that can often dumbfound you as a woman and get you off balance. At that point, you can feel and look like a deer in the headlights, which makes you even more vulnerable to such a man's next volley of vitriol.
Bullying has been around since humans have been around, I think. I think it is wrong.
When I was a kid, there was teasing in school. Then when I was a teenager on 'Days of Our Lives,' I certainly experienced hurtful comments from 'fans' of the show.
