“At some point, Maxwell, you have to decide to stop waiting, for adults or anyone else your age. As you say, perhaps some rules are good, and they are there for a reason. I am not saying you should not follow those rules. I am saying you have to stop waiting for other people to tell you what to do.

You have to stop waiting for other people to give you permission to live your life.” IndependenceDocility Book:The Supervillain's Guide to Being a Fat Kid: A Humorous Middle Grade Novel About Standing Up to Bullies for Kids Source: The Supervillain's Guide to Being a Fat Kid: A Humorous Middle Grade Novel About Standing Up to Bullies for Kids
