Turn Back Time

Imagine being told as a little girl that you are ugly, you are stupid, and that you are a four eyed little freak. I still hear those words in my mind as the days go by in my life. Those words can crush a little girls dreams and hopes. Being on a big yellow school bus, nowhere to hide and nowhere to run, Your glasses ripped off your face tossed around like a football. Than there broken in half and thrown back. You have very little money, So fixing them was with tap and crazy glue. Only to have it happen again day after day. I have suffered so as the years have gone by, Not knowing if I can trust anyone that comes along. I thought I could get over it all, but as I get older the trust is not there. How I wish I could turn back time, and fight for what was right. Stop them on sight, carry my head up high. Not to be scared to live life and be afraid that being bullied would follow me for all eternity. How I wish I could turn back time and stop the bullying before it was begun.

Never forget the strength received from enduring such times has made you stronger today than ever before in life. You are a survivor. Be proud of yourself. Much peace and love. All the best in 2019

My son went through terrible bullying at School, by kids, as well as teachers.I never knew what he went through, until he told me as an adult. One of his greatest concerns is to not hurt others. What you went through is terrible, and I can see your strong sense of justice and bravery will help pull you through into a better place. For yourself. And those that truly care for you. Take care, okay? (((HUGS)))

Thank you for the comment my parents didn't know what led to me dropping out of high school till a few years ago. the bullying had gotten so bad that a three boys held me down while another boy put a gun to my forehead. after that i was done and thought my life was more important than my education. I did however get my diploma but never returned back too school again. I have taught my kids that bullying is wrong and if you see a child that is in danger they need to run and find an adult.
