Everyone wears a mask some point in time, It is the people with real courage who take that mask off and shows their face. Now this phrase has been told too confused individuals over the ages, but in order to do this it takes more than courage it takes the understanding of your peers.
What if when you take your mask off another mask is underneath it. and when you finally take that last mask off everyone is afraid. I know I know in one ear out the other, but come on kids are cruel its like they wait for an opportunity to mock someone. They point, they stare, they laugh, and they joke. I used to think that the best way to cope with this was to laugh at yourself. But when kids see you laughing at yourself they think that they can take it up another level. So they mock, you know for instance if you stutter the old "hey G-G-G-Guys" comes in with the elongated stutter.
Or if you have dyslexia " Come on already" when you are told to read out loud. But my personal favorite the random swear from nowhere, oh and the "seizing" in front of me. So I plead to everyone who reads this pass this on to your friends next time you see someone in trouble don't knock them down pick them up.
