What is great for me personally is that my parents helped me keep my sanity through it all.

My Dad made sure I didn't START any fights and did what I could to talk people down if possible, but made sure I knew how to defend myself and that I had a right to stand up to bullies.

My Mom took me to church and somehow I learned about a Jesus that LOVES everyone and accepts us as we are. BUT who REALLY got pissed at Money Changers taking advantage of folks who were there just to worship God.

IF JESUS were here today, he might toss a few people out on their arses who think they know everything and can swindle people all day long and call it "God's work".
