Question

what does this quote mean "we're not the bogeyman we're made out to be" and what topic of fear can this be related to?
Ms. Sue
We (whoever "we" are) are not scary. We're human with both goodness and evil. This quote can be related to irrational fear of others.
lisa

It's a fear of others that is not realistic. It's based on superstition or stereotypes or ignorance.
