"It Gets Better"

 

This is said a lot, is actually a "thing" that is said to comfort people, especially young people, who are being bullied.

It is true, it does get better when you're older and away from school years which is where most bullying seems to happen.  Not to minimize bullying in the workplace or relationships.

But "better" does not mean there are no consequences, no aftereffects.  

Those colour your whole life.
