[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 655863, member: 11791"] That was me, too. But - with what I know now? Sorry, it isn't about the one being picked on. Lots of us have challenges, and we need acceptance, not bullying. Yes, we are different - but we have something to offer, too. Its the differences that make life interesting. Its people who are different who make breakthroughs in the arts, music, finance, engineering, farming and all those other fields of study. It is now OK to be different culturally (that got you bullied when I was a kid). It's also OK, usually, to be different physically - wheelchair, cane, cleft lip. Hardly anybody gets away with bullying those any more. But... think different? process feelings differently? see or hear what others miss? be a bit unpredictable? act "not normal"? BOOM! target is written all over you. [/QUOTE]
