A Story by George, Age: 16
Hey, let me share my story with you. I’m a 16-year-old guy, and man. I’ve been dealing with some serious anger issues lately. It all goes back to my middle school days when I got bullied by those other kids. They made fun of me all the time because I stutter and I’m a bit […]
