This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I knew someone from an FLDS family.
(For those who don't know, FLDS is a fundamentalist branch of the Mormons that are basically an insanely oppressive and abusive cult. They still do polygamy!)
She's extremely mentally ill and I am not friends with her anymore, but this is about her now deceased brother:
When he was about 2, he fell, head first, onto a rusty nail. Mom decided the medical solution to this was neosporin and a bandaid.
It went about a bit less than an inch into his brain.
He grew up extremely unable to regulate emotions, did violent dangerous things all the time, unfortunately killed himself a year back.
Point of me saying this is: Shit like this absolutely happens.
I feel like a whole lot of people who end up on 4chan are quite likely to be seriously neglected and abused.
I can very easily see a person with serious damage like this not being taken seriously and even assaulted by their parents for mentioning it.
They likely can't get to a hospital on their own, and would be screamed at more if parents found out they went.
So, post on 4chan.
