West Michigan Girl talks about Bullying

School Bullying 

I had the privilege of listening to a girl from Sparta Michigan. I enjoyed our conversation and it was about School Bullying. Linda was going to elementary school . On her desk sits a pitcher of a girl that is not smiling like the rest . She looks at the photo every day, With a semi serious face she explains. I start to think there really is no cure for depression, that happiness is an ongoing battle, and I wonder if it isn't one I'll have to fight for as long as I live. I start to think there really is no cure for being Bullying, most teachers act if they don’t acknowledged what’s is happening , this is an ongoing battle, and I wonder if it isn't one I'll have to fight for as long as I live. I wonder if it's worth it.my stomach is a little flap no not so much that little girl is me but because this little girl is me on the first day of preschool at about four in the age of four it was my first experience with being bullied and all the shame and fear that the carpet it did they started out pleasantly enough in my yellow kitchen in My small home I grew up in at Sparta  Michigan. my mother kneeling in front of me but in my white sweater . My mother Give’s me up in a bear hug kiss in the lips of my nose around member my father taking me by the hand Asher me out to the front door with  Julian until we walked up to the school stairs my father kiss the top of my head and gave me a for a fuzzy hair a quick prayer and loving stroke then there was an awful slippery sensation of the 8 am ,  beginning so it pushed away on my name as he walked away  I also remember my first class what came next the sun shockin flame of pain burning my upper arm felt like my second saw so painful I thought my thought the sky may have opened up and found on top of me is the first time I’ve ever been pinched in the boy who who did it moved with such lightning fast speed in alarming Percussion.   I start to feel like I can't maintain the facade any longer, that I may just start to show through. And I wish I knew what was wrong. Maybe something about how stupid this may sound I didn’t even recognize my own self  at least nine sensually and justice quickly he was gone between two is hiding place where not even a teacher could see him I remember how he sneered at me sadly we came to pick up. There is a classic moment in ‘The Sun Also Rises’ when someone asks Mike Campbell how he went bankrupt, and all he can say in response is, “Gradually and then suddenly.” When someone asks how I lost my mind, that’s all I can say too.Just about every day there after shortly after job Soon it  became very apparent to me just for every day there after shortly after drop off he so he settle around me I guess won’t be staying in me over my little shoulders and my back without anyone noticing how could a child that young even know that the deficit different forms of punishment he threatened to fight upon me and my family if I have a shared how he would torture me of course I figured I would shoot for him to tell  please help teacher , my parents not even one of my older siblings to home siblings to home with taking a small step to take me sleep because I was a baby in the family do you love me more than sunshine do you only known they would have to save me from the pain they have only they have only known for boiled down to was this I didn’t speak up or stand up with because I scared myself and continued simple as that was so cool where was larger than he was no kids and scuffle kids and washed out dangers should over the over have encountered the darkness  I have studiously tried to avoid ever using the word 'madness' to describe this . Now and again, the word slips out, but I hate it. 'Brutally is too glamorous a term to convey what happens to most people who are losing their self esteem. That word is too exciting, too literary, too interesting in its connotations, to convey the boredom, the slowness, the dreariness, the dampness 

I am Magent it to parents everywhere particularly of little ones who may not have the Kerge to use their words urge you to tell your children to speak clearly and loudly if trouble of the sands of time them A human being can survive almost anything, as long as she sees the end in sight! and I understand that the fear of talking about scary stuff   In my case, I was frightened thought that I might live this nightmare forever, because I was certain, quite certain, that I was already dead. issome times as scary as the stuff itself the first day of school is filled with excitement and fear both real him imagine shower your children would love cover them with understanding teach them to be kind tell them that someone hurts them speaker cents is what gives my answers their powers it covers them up with a cloak of darkness allows them to get to their dirty work on the list I would get the photos again my tactilely from and my frame for brow he just can’t put away seconds before the four of us take him after rain down on me well I was her pinches when he was when my teacher pro second square with her camera and cheery time deep picture I can measure was turned down from I’m still felt like fire she never saw thing she was that quick I’m happy to be back in schoolThe new one is gold and blue I guess that means I am no longer hold on to swim or steam bees that used to be circling me after years of feeling disappointed in myself for not being brave enough to share my chair I finally forgive myself he tried his best to kayak for me,  give me a roll my prayer is that eventually character is on demons whatever they may be today I look at my picture and smile I smile because I was able to move around and my heart was finally forgiven him
