Well said. So much power and success to one young person, I can see how it can lead to this destructive pattern. As for the victims - so brave! Like you said it can be so scary to speak out.

I wonder what your thoughts are on what happens next, especially with cancel culture being in full effect these days.

I’m all for second chances when there’s real acknowledgment of the damage, repentance and a commitment to change, to doing better.

Cancel culture is reactive and immature, in my opinion.

We’re humans and we’re all learning. 😌
