Wow and I thought our mail system was slow. 9 months late!

I was bullied too at a young age, seen it happen too from the other side. The attitude back then simply was that words can't hurt you. Nor fists, kids fight now and then, so what... First time it happened (age 11) I started acting the same thing out on my sister without realizing it. Still feel bad about that.

Second time I had to deal with it (age 13) I changed to a different class to get away from it. Unfortunately they started picking on a friend of mine who had a breakdown a year later and ended up in a psychiatric care resort.
It took a long time to get my self esteem back. In my late twenties I still got an uncomfortable panicky feeling when I heard a group of teenagers laughing somewhere. I hope I can protect my kids better.
