The teenage years can be confusing and difficult enough on their own. Add into the mix mental health problems and a neighbor, who’s more than three times your age, harassing you online, and you have the makings of…well, even more confusing and difficult times.

I sat on this story for a little while - since May 4 - thinking that if I let myself cool down first I’d be more likely to sound rational when I posted about it.
