i replied no comments from my most recent poll about bullying, but ive read them all.  
i was speechless while reading, and now im seriously concerned  but feel completely useless. i cant give any decent response (im pretty sure one the few i did reply was a terrible, inmature joke, im sorry)) to the very insightfull comments ive read. i do not feel capable or qualified to reply.
:hug:
youll never be bullied by me :)

ill tell you a little story too, im not proud, and then i am. when i was a little kid (like 6 or 7) i was kind of mean, as some kids are. and apparently i was once super mean to a girl named Consuelo (i dont remember this, my mother told me actually) the thing is Cosuelos mom called mine cause i said something super mean to her and i should apologize. I did apologize. Consuelo and i are super good friends now and hang out every monday, mostly at her place  heheh :)  so here is to Consuelo cause she knew how to forgive and gave me a second chance to get to know her, and she really knows me, shes is a great friend, I probably dont deserve it, but im glad she thinks i do :)    and  this was like 20 years ago.  
i know i got out of that "mean" stage pretty quickly after i got a horrible haircut and got bullied myself (and my kiddy boyfriend dumped me) but i know i cant compare that kind of kiddy bullying to those that ive read here, but still its a nice story, why not share it?

:/ I would never do anything like it now, but I was a bit of a bully back in first grade to a girl in my class. Worse thing was was that it was racism, and was mainly influenced by the stupid little comments my parents had said unintentionally. It was really just a one time thing and I actually got caught. I was so humiliated by the fact that I had gotten caught and actually did it that I pretty much just shut myself up for a week in class. I've had some other incidents too--but in all of them I've been seriously ashamed.

I can happily say I'm no longer like that in the least. I tend to be pretty non-judgmental all the time. Though I wish other people would realize how even the tiny comments can affect kids. Growing up in the south, it's sadly still pretty common.

I actually decided to go through my first grade journals to see if I wrote anything down after I commented on that that I wasn't bullied but knew people who did, instead I found out why I try to play "Hero" all the time. in second grade I was the vice president of the "popular girl club of officiality" and we were ranked by our looks, clothes and grades and after Susan (the president) moved just before the year ended. I was the new boss. Mackenzie was a girl Susan picked on a lot, but I never really noticed. once I was "in charge" mackenzie tried to make friends with me, so she could I guess turn a new leaf for the next school year sort of and when I accepted her in, Haley pushed her out and pointed out all her flaws which I wrote down in my journal, "messy hair, knobby knees, and her pants are too high." I was over ruled by the end of the school day and she started crying and ran home. That was the last day of school, and during summer time she'd moved in my neighborhood. I got to know her really well and realized that she was a real doll face and she was really smart and nice. She wore her pants high because when she wore them low she needed to pee, and her hair was messy because her baby brother, jacob often threw food in it before she walked down the street to the school and she messed it up trying to get the food out. We got to be great friends but she moved weeks before school started. when I did go back to school though, I resigned from my "Oh so important" job and hung out with the "smelly kids." (who did smell a little rank, but we were kids, so idk) the club eventually split up, and I never heard from Kenzie again. I don't think I'll ever forgive myself for never stepping up for her the moment I saw her.

Kind of feel awkward cuz I didn't post on that poll...but I think it must be like a law to bully girls with glasses or something, because people always did it to me up until last school year.

it is a rough world.
people don't have to like you.
many people react to strangeness with hostility, to weakness with aggression.
many people are dicks.
I figured THAT out when I was 7years old. Nothing I've learned subsequently has significantly altered that observation.
Grow stronger. Exercise judgement about what you reveal of yourself. Develop and nurture skills, knowledge, and accomplishment that bullies cannot touch.
Oh, and crush bullies in a humiliating fashion, if you can.
