I know this isn’t exactly a meme, but I had to share and this community seemed most appropriate- from my daughter’s 8th grade social studies text. Digital and yet already woefully out of date thanks to SCOTUS.

Why not school and learn social skills with peers?
Because the “social skills” she learned with her peers was to be the most bullied kid in the school because she dared to do things like dress in punky clothes and be queer and she couldn’t take it anymore. She literally broke down one morning and said she could not go to the school one more day. She was already doing stuff like self-harming.
Now she has more self-esteem and is more social than she had been before.
So sure, she could go back and learn those social skills some more. I’d rather she not end up a suicide victim though.
