which make potential armys want to avoid us. The inappropriate comments on YouTube, the delusional possessiveness over one member or another, those have certainly made their appearance. It's not been hard to notice Armys starting fanwars or hating on other artists for the sole reason that they are opposition. Hatred, rudeness, insensitivity, cruelty: I've seen them all. Such things sicken me, and should be addressed, but they're not all that I've seen. Amidst all the bad, the good shines bright.

Yes, I have, and I couldn't be prouder to say that. BTS's fandom is big, and it's growing larger by the day (deservedly so). But, in a world which isn't only white, our fandom isn't an exception. People are both bad and good, and our family is no…

He gave a personal example of a book he wrote, yet he did not share it because of the fear of rejection. This is a clear example of resistance crippling our potential. I thought this…
write you. The lady you knew as Melinda Jenning passed away September 20. She was surrounded by her family and was not in pain. I promised Mel that I would make contact with you and am doing this against my better judgment. I am sorry for not passing this news on sooner but with the funeral and what we have been through in the last 18 months, you were not at the top of my list. Melinda and I had our differences and more than a few disagreements over the years but she was more than just a sister…

“In many cases a true war story cannot be believed. If you believe it, be skeptical. It’s a question of credibility. Often the crazy stuff is true and the normal stuff isn’t, because the normal stuff is necessary to make you believe the truly incredible craziness” (44). A true war story is so extreme that its qualities are incredibly doubtable and must be questioned. Rat Kiley explained when he was stationed in a medic area near Vietnam’s village of Tra Bong medic Mark Fossie had written a…
First off let me say I’m so happy to have you guys here with me today. You might be wondering why you are here.

against the locker. Pain spread through my body like wildfire. “Give it to me or you’ll suffer more than this,” he gritted through his teeth. “I don’t have it,” I managed to get through. A punch to the stomach. So much for standing up to bullies. After thirty seconds or so in pain, I stood up, thrusted my hand into my pocket and shoved a $4 bill into his chest. “Next time, don’t try to be so brave,” he breathed. And he walked away clutching my money in his hand. Everybody knew that Marcus was…
