    I’ve never interpreted “Hang in there, it will get better” to mean “Wait and do nothing.” I’ve always seen it more directed at kids who are being bullied more as a directive to “Do what you can to survive. Kids are assholes, parents might be dicks, but if you can make it to adulthood, you can find your people that will accept you for who you are.”
