Of course you want to be a good person and be helpful to people in need, but it’s impossible to give to others if you have been used-up. Being a good person has nothing to do with allowing people to destroy you. There are limits. You can best help others from a position of strength, not weakness. So, don’t forget to be good to yourself first. Don’t forget to take care of you! It is never cruel to want to save yourself from being swamped by fools. Remember, this is your life and you have the right and responsibility to make good decisions for yourself. — Bryant McGill

the “poor person who refuses handouts” is a classist microaggression, it tells poor kids that the worst possible thing they could do is accept help and that poor people who do get help are “lesser” (because anyone who does get help is always portrayed as screwing the system somehow, ie. “welfare queen”), as well as emphasizing to people that your pride is more important than your continued survival or general well-being.

Funfact: As a teenager, I literally starved until I passed out because of this trope.

I know lots of people who could really use the help of food stamps or Medicaid and their first comments are always something like, “I don’t need it.” When they’re literally starving or are constantly sick.

fake-ass humility is one of the worst things we teach kids imo

I have a transfiguration question.
McGonagall:
It's ten at night on Saturday.
Sirius:
Do you know anything about transfiguring animal parts back to human parts? Specifically, antlers?
McGonagall:
Antlers? What is this for?
Sirius:
...Fun.
McGonagall:
Okay. Well, why don't we talk about it Monday after class?
Sirius:
You always say we should never stop being curious. To always open any curiosity door we find. Why are you keeping this curiosity door locked?
