I think bullying comes from a person’s feeling of self-worth, and so what you do is you find out where you are in a totem pole, and you may slide in somewhere in the middle. So you say, “OK, well there’s all these other people who I respect and admire, and there’s all these people below me, so I’m going to put on them this sense that they’re inferior and I’m going to belittle them, and that’s going to raise my stature.” – Rib Hillis
It gets better. It seems hard, you know, I think being different is always gonna be a tough climb. There’s always gonna be people that are scared of it. But at the end of the day you give those bullies, those people, that are so ignorant, if you give them the power to affect you, you’re letting them win. And they don’t deserve that. What you’re doing by being yourself is you’re keeping it real, and you’re being really brave. – Adam Lambert
In an average day, you may well be confronted with some species of bullying or bigotry, or some ill-phrased appeal to the general will, or some petty abuse of authority.

Everybody devises tactics for getting through such moments; try behaving “as if” they need not be tolerated and are not inevitable. – Christopher Hitchens
