But fuck the people who assume everyone had a "Leave it to Beaver" life. You said it, but it's a phrase that's been used by a lot of my friends who had that life.
Fuck those people who assume that everyone had a great life. Fuck them for never dealing with guns and dead friends killed in school. Fuck them for never knowing fear when going to class. Fuck them for never consoling a raped friend. Fuck them for not trying to kill the rapist. Fuck them for never chasing someone down. Fuck them for never being terrified as someone walks down the line of students trying to hurt people. Fuck them for never having been afraid that they'd die. Fuck them for never having to save a friend, knowing that they may die trying to.
And, seriously, FUCK THEM for never standing up for anyone when their lives were on the line.
Those people only have the lives they have had. They were lucky. But fuck them for assuming everyone else had their lives.
Grr. If I knew they'd stand up for someone now, I'd be ok with it. But they wouldn't.
There is no reason to idolize the past. It wasn't that great.
