Roger, Wisconsin      
     In 2002, I was working as a consultant for a Chicago based mid-tier IT Consulting and Business Solutions firm.

     I have been working at a funeral home. I work with an older gentleman who is in his early 70’s.  So, I looked up to him as a grandfather figure.  I had no idea that he would even be the way he was. 
     Every morning he would come in to see if [...]

Eily, Nebraska    
     Most of my senior year in high school, I was harassed by a “friend.” 
     When it started, he would joke that he wanted to have sex in the school’s band room. 
     I didn’t like it, but I didn’t say anything about it to anyone.  I stopped being able to eat like I had before.  [...]
