Bullying happens to everyone. And yo...Good article! Bullying happens to everyone. And you don't have to be nerdy or unpopular for it to happen. And same thing with eating disorders. <br /><br />I had an eating disorder in high school, I believe. Or at least just bad body image. In 7th grade, after I had surgery, my dominant arm was in a full arm cast so I couldn't make myself look good. I had acne, big glasses, and buck-ish teeth. I hated myself and sometimes felt like dying cause I had no friends. From 9th grade until 11th grade, I never ate lunch or breakfast and sometimes didn't eat dinner. I was so skinny, I was a size 4/5 and weighed 115 pounds. <br /><br />When I met my fiancee (boyfriend, at the time in 11th grade) I started to feel more comfortable with myself and more happy. Regardless of my looks he loved me. So he gave me confidence to like myself more. I'm currently 156 pounds (I've had 2 surgeries, darn it!) and am a size 5-7. I currently have fibromyalgia and IBS which doesn't help my weight BUT I have the love of family and my fiancee as well as their support so I don't mind it too much.<br /><br />I'm glad your mother and family were supportive and that a change helped you out. It's good to hear you're more self loving. Continue writing because we need people like you who suffered and know what it's really like for teens to suffer to try to get the word out to the world about how important bullying and self esteem is for kids.<br /><br />http://forevera90skid.blogspot.com/2012/11/live-long-and-prosper-or-so-they-thought.htmlIbitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11641533739422392902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3300004977143198333.post-89994163617732076572012-11-25T13:02:14.805-08:002012-11-25T13:02:14.805-08:00Haha try as I may, I can never get interested in t...Haha try as I may, I can never get interested in those things.<br /><br />Amanda= Fail.Ms. Amanda Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09385520977790317258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3300004977143198333.post-67567763755261560312012-11-24T06:21:26.548-08:002012-11-24T06:21:26.548-08:00You should totally watch Bully Beatdown :p

Kids are so cruel and I am glad I was there to help you adjust to the changes and you got better.

When my parents tried to talk to the parents of those who bullied me it quickly became clear as to why they bullied - their parents were bullys too. This isn't always the case, but it's really sad when parents let their children get away with this behavior. Ironically bully's also need help because often bullying is a coping mechanism for the problems in their life. It all comes down to getting more support for the children where it's needed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771805114079587578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3300004977143198333.post-81231641247427351722012-10-27T11:33:15.081-07:002012-10-27T11:33:15.081-07:00Wow.

When I was student teaching, a little boy was bullying another student, both at school and online, and when the teachers suggested that his parents severely limit his computer time, they refused. Ridiculous. <br /><br />I'm glad to hear that your parents were willing and open to make a change for the better for you! Little Wifehttp://alittlewifeshappylife.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
