Which do you think is worse? Not being seen, where life passes by you and you lose your sense of self? Or being seen, only to be hated and hurt?
By the way, panel 2 is absolutely based on a very real experience I had in High School. I transferred to a new school and had been told that the curriculum requests I put in at my old school would be logged in the new one, only to find out that they never GOT those curriculum signups, and I spent my first semester at the school in whatever scrap classes they had- ones just to keep me in the school. FUN!

Being seen and being respected and treated with kindness.
