This is an awesome statement, wisdom, truth. Bullies and I have had my share as always the new kid...need to feel that they have the power and control over everyone a day everything. Those in the government that are trying to take control need to go....NOW!!! You are a great writer....❤️❤️

Oh my friend, being the perpetual new kid is so very hard. I am sorry you were bullied.

These bullies definitely need to go so we can get our country and our joy back! ❤️

This really resonated with me as a fellow bully magnet. I started fight back in the sixth grade and I found that bullies can't handle that someone who they perceived as weak would ever challenge them.

It is so fascinating what happens when you fight back, isn’t it? Paper tigers.

Oh! I am so interested in what you’ve learned. I do agree that it starts young and I wish we could find a way to stop these abuse cycles from proliferating. In some ways having been bullied made me more compassionate, because I came to realize how broken bullies were. I guess that’s the weird upside.
