    Fantastic post!!!!!!!! You spoke MY mind and MY heart entirely..!! This post of yours is indeed an eye-opener, and none would know better than me how untrue each of those claims (made by parents) are!!! Each and every one of those points are myths, and nothing else. I have come to realise that in life. I was also severely bullied throughout my school career, and all my parents and well-wishes did was make those sorta reassurances. And oh how certain they are/were whenever they made those reassurances! Needless to say, even my bullies are much better off financially, career-wise and status wise today..... as they were all go-getters and aces in everything. Now they're just stars, while my career progress, social progress and everything are still under-developed and have been through delays due to many obstacles beyond my control... even though I was a very bright student in school. Ah circumstances! :(



    Anyway, god bless your soul for writing such a fabulous piece.!!! It should be published somewhere... like on some magazine or journal or something. :) None could have put it more realistically than you..!!

    Wow. You're really bitter aren't you? Guys call girls ugly because they know it gets to them. Looks are the one thing a girl stresses about and whether or not she is ugly, a guy likes to knock down the confidence of someone he doesn't like. Calling her stupid or annoying won't be as hurtful as ugly. And disagree about ugly duckling. My friend was bullied so much and called ugly and was picked as one of Maxim's home town hotties. bet most of those bullies werent...

      Yeah I've seen two 'ugly ducklings' turn into super-hot women.

    So true...what gives them the right to pick on someone? It's so wrong and it causes a lot of pain...but obviously they don't care. In fact pain is the emotion they want from their victims. They get a kick out of how they can ruin someones life.

    I volunteer locally with the International Pink Shirt Day movement to stand up to Bullies, and will again this year promote it heavily here on EP. It has nothing what-so-ever to do with "gay".



    It started after a young college student was beaten bloody for wearing a pink shirt on campus. It's in it's 5th or 6th year I think and is all over the world. They haven't as yet set the date for 2012.

    My mother said Just ignore them...until I came home for lunch every day. That was not allowed at my school. I called my mother at her job so often I think I got her fired. Then when I got home the real bully gave me no end of ****...that was dad. Scared me so badly I have three (3) therapists. Self esteem? What's that?
