I know that I’ve often been told that I was not to respond to bullying in a way that was fighting fire with fire, not just because hey, vengeance gets you nowhere (at least take official channels), but because “Well, you’re more okay than the other party. It’s your job to rise above.”
And man, that’s a shitty job to have, whether it’s Model Minority time or because people are mistaking your ability to survive for an ability not to be hurt.
