Frustrated and persecuted, that was me.
There were so many bullies at my school that, one time, they picked names out of a hat to see who could kick me next. And the teachers just kept giving them reason after reason to belittle me even further...

I hear ya...most schools literally look like prisons on top of it. Not really helping there.

This was so true for me. I can feel the despair emanating from this art.

Great quote, and great picture!! I totally agree with the concept, and your piece of art has now sparked a discussion between my youngest son & myself about whether negative nurture would cause this effect, or lack or any nurture - my son going for the first, and myself for the second. Is negative nurture worse than no nurture at all? This is what we're discussing.
My oldest son has just requested a copy of your quote, because we all agree with it. Please don't think that he's going to use it as his own or plagiarise it - he isn't.
So this whole piece of art is very impressive, and thank you very much for sharing it with us.
