I was made fun of a lot in high school because of the way I sound and the way I was.

From this day on, I refuse to let anyone bring me to a point where I can't take a horrible situation and spin it into something beneficial. I will never let anyone make me feel anything I don't want to feel again or rob me of the passions that make me who I am.

Besides, anyone with an Internet connection feels they have the credentials to critique or belittle anything these days.
