As a peer of Molly's, and one who bullied girls forced to attend schools in the city rather than in their home town or village, I ache for her and her friends over our horrible behavior. I also mourn the 14 year old me that was so damaged herself and needed to lash out at someone even more vulnerable.  This happened in fairbanks, not anchorage,  and I've gone to some lengths to make amends, but 40 some years later I still have remorse over being another cause for hurt in those beautiful young women. The story isn't necessarily about Molly's bullying, but if children are forced into the cities again for schooling, it could be.  In raising her siblings and bearing her losses, Molly has shown enough empathy and compassion for all. Thank you for this, and on behalf of your perpetrators, I'm sorry.
