As an adult, I’m so lucky to be in the sort of sensitive supportive communities where bullying is pretty much unheard of. So I’m always shocked to realize how commonplace it is.

So sad!

POD – I don’t know if the impact of what harmful things are said can ever be measured for the damage that’s been done. The emotional change that effects the overall person can be there forever.

Sagan – It’s too bad that you experienced this, but hold your head up as what you’ve offered during this year of following your blog is wonderful. Thanks

I've only ever been involved with bullying when I was in junior high, but the girl who bullied me didn't make any weight comments. I agree, though, that it is horrible the kinds of things that people do and say. .-= Sagan´s last blog ..A New Addition to the Family =-.

I read a book on girls who bully and it was called Odd Girl Out.
Good book. I also witnessed Chris’s daughter being bullied by ostracizing from two of her “best” friends until she would do what they wanted her to do. No name calling, just demands. I told her if she gave in, there would just be more demands.

Of course my sister and I were tormented about being chubsters!
She was Nellie Fat Bellie and I was Janny Fat Fanny.

Very good point Dr. j and being sensitive to others is not a human fault.

I still have hurtful memories of being bullied as a child Perhaps those times taught me not to be that way to others. The line from “The Last of the Mohicans,” sticks with me:

“Magua would make himself into what twisted him!”

Good lesion there for people and countries, I think.
