We can either embrace who you are knowing that the phase that others are going through will pass or let it affect you negatively. I am glad that you became the woman you are today. Beautiful and strong.

My most recent ms was about this same issue ... how bullying affects you even after school--how it whittles away at your self-esteem even tho you don't see the bully anymore.<br /><br />I've started a non-profit org called F.L.O.A.T (For Love of All Teens) and you can beome a fan on Facebook and click over the conjoining blog to read the teen mission. Would love help on getting the word out. You can share the page with everyone on your friend list (if you'd be so kind) and help promote teen self-esteem.<br /><br />http://www.facebook.com/pages/FLOAT/160826343935912<br /><br />I'm glad you didn't see suicide as an option back then, and I'm sure you're a stronger, more well-rounded person because of what you endured.PK HREZOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650153097981426833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772850344563095242.post-50796735972074355942010-11-14T21:00:23.652-08:002010-11-14T21:00:23.652-08:00wished to die past tensewished to die past tenseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772850344563095242.post-66181423964500180082010-11-14T20:59:51.526-08:002010-11-14T20:59:51.526-08:00that is cool.

I just hate it that they feel like this is their whole life and there is no way out--that being said I had the same feelings but didn't act on them. I just wish they could know that there is so much more to life and that after high school it's often the picked on kids who go on to do great things.Beth Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494316048252190314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772850344563095242.post-80200955674622701002010-11-14T10:05:23.610-08:002010-11-14T10:05:23.610-08:00This is a wonderful post.

However, with my niece 13yrs old who just tried to commit suicide 2 times in the last year, with more kids doing it, other kids think its the only way to stop the pain. Thanks for speaking out about this. Kids who consider hopefully will do a search on the subject to find coping skills.LM Prestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624508396760965680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772850344563095242.post-8701078012750254472010-11-14T08:40:55.129-08:002010-11-14T08:40:55.129-08:00Bullying can't be tolerated in schools, so the...Bullying can't be tolerated in schools, so the more it's outed, the better.
