Hello, my name is Barbara. I'm from a small town south of Milwaukee WI called Kenosha. I remember being bullied through out elementary school and Junior High. I was made fun of because I come from a poor "white trash" family, for my clothes, and being a loner. I had  no friends in elementary school. I often roamed the playground during recess praying that the bell would ring soon. I never did anything about the bullying I received in elementary school. I didn't want to feel like a snitch for telling anyone.  By Junior High I couldn't take it anymore. I got into physical altercations at least 2 times that I can remember. After a while I made friends and my tormentors left me alone. I don't think anyone should ever feel they have to get into a physical altercation, or worse with someone just to leave them alone. Be the bigger person. Don't be afraid to tell someone. Keep your head up and know that it doesn't last forever. :D
