"Because you have parents that love you. You have parents that support you and yet you think your life is so bad just because stupid kids pick on you."
"I... don't have it easy." I mumbled. "You don't know. You can't even imagine how it is. Being bullied every single day just because you're you. They don't even see me as a person, you know? I'm just it. I'm just a thing. I'm not 'Quince the person'. I'm 'Quince the looser', the venting tool, the dirt beneath your feet."
