[QUOTE="Mom2oddson, post: 433239, member: 65"] Being an introvert by nature was the first strike against me, being a navy brat and having 8 different schools by 5th grade was my second strike. I became even more introverted and was bullied to the extreme. My 3rd grade nemisis even had her 1st grade sister and friends threatening me. I didn't even realize that I could stand up for myself until I was pregnant with easy child and in an abusive marriage. It was one thing for me to be abused (I thought that was what I deserved) it was another for my Little One to be facing that. Mama bear found her growl. Then came the difficult child's and my difficult child-mother in law. I finally became a true Leo and learned to GROWL and defend myself and my family. I am still painfully Introverted (even have a hard time being on the board some days) and I struggle with feeling my own self-worth, but I'm working on it. As bad as bullies were when I was young, I think our youth has it so much worse. At the end of the day, I was able to go home and be alone. There were no cell phones and facebook. I can't even begin to imagine how bad my life would of been if my bullies could of followed me home, inside my house and room, and continued the days activies into the night! Kids now days, don't have a chance to escape from anything. Add to it that they can get video taped being attacked via cellphone and then have it posted to the internet so that they can relive the event over and over and over... YUCK!! [/QUOTE]
