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

[QUOTE="witzend, post: 433256, member: 99"] Thanks, all. It is horrible that the world can be this kind of place, and I can't even imagine how difficult it must be in this age of electronics. I was watching something on tv the other day on the news where one girl said she was 14 and being bullied at school, and that her older sister had been bullied, too, before she went to college. Thy younger one said she was bullied because she was fat, but I didn't see that she was exceptionally fat. Not in this day and age. The older sister said the same thing, but she couldn't have been more than a size 10. The older sister says that she is a Sophomore in college and still getting hate emails and being stalked on her web page by people who threaten and harass her. I think it's nearly impossible for kids to get away from their bullies now. It breaks my heart. Parents and teachers have to be stronger advocates for kids who are picked upon. It's done in secret and everyone knows it's ugly, but too many adults find it easier to turn a blind eye when they see the signs instead of investigating further. 40 years later, and it still upsets me to think of what happened to me as a girl. But I spend very little time thinking of it. I'm a strong woman and enjoy my life. I try very hard to not let the unhappiness of the steal away my happiness of today. [/QUOTE]
