Western University's anti-homophobia group, Get Real, recently posted a video titled "To My 7th Grade Self"
It's a really great watch because we hear the stories of students who were bullied for being gay or were bullies towards their gay peers. We see how they were affected.
I know most of my readers are post-secondary aged, are pretty open-minded, and can probably relate to these stories, looking back to when they were in elementary and high school. For those of us who were bullied, it seemed like it would never end. For those of us who bullied, we didn't realize the impact our words had. All we ever wanted was to love and be loved, but our differences sometimes blinded us to understand what that really meant.
Share Your Stories
What I'm asking is that, just like in the video, you share your stories. If you were affected directly or indirectly by bullying, your story should be shared. Comment below, anonymously or by name, because you never know who is going to read it and who it may bring strength to.
Stay Beautiful,
Lisa
