88. If my community showed me kindness

After the bullying I went through since 1st grade, I sympathize with her. If people chose to make something nice for me,to stand with me like I mattered, maybe my life might be better.

From their involvement,I would not feel so alone,so hated,so ugly or unwanted.It would have shown me someone heard me,and cared that I was tortured everyday.Unfortunately I got no support from family or community because it was the 70's when people still had thier heads in the sand regarding the suffering bullies cause.
I tried to kill myself first time at age 8. I would through my life try many other times.

Sometimes it is wise to give help to a bully victim and stand by them because it just might give them enough hope in humanity to fight the PTSD that would have eaten her life..

like PTSD has done to me.

And the display of support from strangers might just help the bullies leave her alone.
And these strangers might have just given her a social network, with good experiences. A social network that accepts you is one of the most healing things there is.
