What's fucked up about this is that none of the people bitching about how we fucked everything up out first few months have bothered to actually figure out what our side of the story was, because that conveniently disrupts their dialogue about how we fucked it all up. No one gives a shit that these kids were thrown to the wolves in a world they didn't understand. No, that they care about is how much of a mess we made of a situation we were wholly unprepared for.
I don't deny that we made bad decisions, but we did the best we could with what we had. They weren't here. We were. They don't understand.
