Believe it or not I too know the oppression felt as a result of childhood bullies. My family was an outsider to the Valders community where my father took a job as a US History teacher at VHS. Everyone was in some form related, so they cliqued together.
From K-12 my sister and I underwent a grueling schooling career. At one point we were begging our parents to be educated through Home Schooling. :cry: For 12 years we hated our classmates except for a few loyal friends, then the day we had been waiting for so long happened...Graduation. I remember it like yesterday...while everyone was crying, my sister and I were laughing. We were FREE of bullies. :P
Many years later after going through college and a working career I have learned some will grow up, but a lot won't change. Even today I can easily pick out the ones whom will bully to their advantage. Although, I now am a stronger person I have my own ways of dealing with these individuals. "Never throw the first punch, but make sure you ALWAYS throw the last one."... Crys I couldn't agree more.
:wink:
