At least then you know you exist. We'll nobody can put Michelle in a corner, lol. Dirty Dancing reference for all you youngsters.

Traumatic! I also had all the wrong clothes. No Izods, no Nike. I didn't get bullied the way you did.

I agree it's important for the younger generation to learn that they aren't the only ones who experienced bullying. That there are adults who understand what they may be going through, and will help them. <br /><br />Paula, you are so right when you say that "no one can help if they don't know." <br /><br />If you are experiencing bullying, physical or sexual abuse, please find someone you trust. Tell someone before it's too late. Please.<br /><br />Angie Sandrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12942189316705391288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052162367673650724.post-16972882846307660442012-09-14T05:41:28.212-07:002012-09-14T05:41:28.212-07:00This brings back memories.

I can remember the fear that caused knots in my stomach and throat as I prayed that I could slip by while they were not looking.<br /><br />I was afraid to tell my family about my torture. I told this story to my 4 children, because one day I became bold enough to yell out for help... I mean literally screaming in the middle of the road.<br /><br />My teenage uncle heard me and ran to my rescue, needless to say those boys never bother me again. The lesson I taught my kids and would encourage to young kids today is, no one can help if they don't know. Dig deep inside find the courage and strength to tell someone.<br /><br />Like you Angie, anyone who knows me knows I don't tolerate any type of injustice, bullying on any age level. I will fight for someone whose experiencing this more fiercely then I would myself. For this reason my kids and I haven't eaten at McDonalds in 2 years(oh the grief I get from my 8 year old. If stares were daggers I would be dead 6 chicken nuggets ago:)). <br /><br />I'm sorry I got a little carried away, but I'm so passionate about this subject. <br />This is a great thing you're doing Thank you Can't wait to see the post and share it.<br />Thanks AngieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190164097313748920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052162367673650724.post-64826395699825709842012-09-14T04:45:38.304-07:002012-09-14T04:45:38.304-07:00Great post, Angie.
