Since it's come up a lot lately, were you ever bullied in school?

[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 432974, member: 1991"] Witz, the daughter of an old friend of ours was diagnosed MD (later identified as FSH MD) when she was 3 years old. At the time she was rapidly losing the ability to walk unaided and never smiled. Her parents fortunately worked out quickly why no smile. However, they worked hard with her, kept following her around with food (she was often too tired to eat a full meal) and held daily open house for the neighbourhood kids, so there was plenty of supervised socialisation. Over the years I have seen this girl grow to a lovely young woman with an interest in fashion design. And what do you know? When she was about 16, she began to be able to smile, just a little. She cut back on her wheelchair more and more. Last I heard she was studying in Europe and sent a message home telling her parents to sell the wheelchair, she didn't need it any more. She is stick thin, often gets stared at by people who think she's a severe anorexia case, but she's got a very sharp tongue and can handle herself well. Her arms are especially thin so she designs clothes for herself that cover her arms. Personally, I don't think her arms look bad at all, but she is self-conscious about them. She's one really tough kid, very capable and confident. I don't think she was ever bullied - nobody would dare. I remember her aunt was also someone nobody would dare bully, she could hold her own in the schoolyard by force of tongue alone. Marg [/QUOTE]
