Add in the fact I would only wear hideous floral dresses to school, yeah, I was bullied. It got so bad in elementary school I saw a therapist and switched schools, twice. <br /><br />The biggest thing that's stuck with me all these years from that experience is now I'm always on the attack. It's hard for me to make friends because it's now my nature to jump first before I can get jumped. I also expect people to treat me different because I am different...from everyone in my town, not from everyone in the world which is what I always need to remind myself. I work hard at being a nice person and being feminine and fun when mostly I want to be invisible.Allie Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08647744108289768315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-29030005421214862032012-03-22T09:42:19.027-07:002012-03-22T09:42:19.027-07:00I'm so mad at myself that I didn't get my ...I'm so mad at myself that I didn't get my video to Candace in time.

It's cool that the kids know so much about bullying and identifying it and what to do if it happens. <br /><br />I was bullied in school starting in about 3rd grade and it didn't stop until 9th grade when finally everyone found something better to do, like date. I'm still wary of people and I still get upset about remembering things from back then. And I still tend to think that if I just do the "right" thing, then everything will be okay --- as if I had caused the bullying and could control it if I just ....<br /><br />I think it affects everyone when just one person is bullied. It makes everyone who watches it and tacitly approves of it bullies by default (this is what happened with me ... a few bullies and a lot of their friends who just watched).<br /><br />I wonder what the bullies think or feel about it when they are grown up? Does it affect them or do they completely forget?Skyehttp://thingsintheskye.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-40058388482225048842012-03-22T07:21:04.061-07:002012-03-22T07:21:04.061-07:00I find this very interesting.

I understand his pain because I myself was bullied during my school years (Red hair and an overbite is a neon light for bullies.). I would love to help in any way I can.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16732006064321712054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-48437651124172550592012-03-22T06:24:28.239-07:002012-03-22T06:24:28.239-07:00They did an anti-bullying week at my 6yo's sch...They did an anti-bullying week at my 6yo's school and when I asked what he had learned, he looked very serious and said, "Try not to be a target." He's SO CUTE!!! <br /><br />But then he also made me very proud when he said, "Don't be a bystander either. Try to be an ally." When I asked how, he answered, "You could just go up to the person being bullied and say something like, 'Hey, come one, why don't we go play over there.'"<br /><br />6yo is so wise.Michelle Wolfsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-89597092950411215152012-03-22T04:17:36.571-07:002012-03-22T04:17:36.571-07:00Good cause.
