Thanks so much for reading! Let me know what you think! Should this be R rated? Please message or comment instead of just flagging. I did put a warning in the beginning... Did I inspire you to stop bullying? That's great, go ahead and tell me! Want to tell me whether I impacted you or not? Please do!

Thankfully, I've never been bullied in quite the same way as depicted in my story. However, some of the inner thoughts and emotions come straight from personal experience. Also, the Grainer siblings represent my own saviors. Though my rescuers might have been few and far between, they really did make a difference to me. It would please me to no end to hear that some of my readers have done the same for someone as Max and Eloise (or plan to after reading the story).

Next, a shout-out to all those who've been bullied, whether for sexual orientation or not. Hang in there! Let the blows roll off you. There are plenty of people in the world who are accepting or at least tolerant. Find yourself some good friends and stand up for each other.

And for heaven's sake, if you see someone being bullied, don't just watch! Get an authority figure like a teacher or policeman, or simply tell the bully to stop. At the very least, help the bullies' victim up and give him or her support once the bullies have left. I know how much it meant to me to get a helping hand.

Thanks again and check out my other works!
