Look Quote by Tobias Wade
““Sometimes you'll see a story about a kid like Billy on the news and wonder how nobody stepped in, how nobody saw what was going on in their head. The answer to that is simple: it's just easier to look away. The uglier the truth is, people don’t want to face it because then they'll have to ask themselves why they did nothing for so long””
