CW: Self-harm, mention of self-harm

There was a recent uptick in responses to my old comic about being bullied, and I worried readers may be drawing conclusions about what kind of person bullies and what kind of person is bullied based on a pretty limited slice of information. The reality is a lot less tidy than that, at least it was for me. 

If you’re hurting because of something that happened in your past, or you’re a young person going through a tough period, I hope you’ll reach out to the people you trust and/or the resources accessible to you. If you’re under 18 and in Canada, I know Kids Help Phone does terrific work.
