Q: Do you have any advice for your peers?

A: Being mocked or judged by people is hard. The solution is simple, ignore them. I wore a duck backpack in school this year because I liked it so much. I got tons of teasing and mocking but I ignored it and ended up enjoying my bag. Learn to rise above the negative comments of others and be yourself.
