I am 35 years old with 2 beautiful children.  I can't bear the thought of them going to school & having to deal with bullies.

I was very quiet & very petite at school.  I was an easy target because I didn't stand up for myself.  I didn't say anything to teachers or parents for many years - by then the damage had been done & I believed for most of my life that I was unlikeable, unloveable, ugly, worthless, etc.  This has followed me through my adult life & I have trouble maintaining friendships as I just don't believe that I am 'good enough'. 

I didn't realise how the bullying had affected me until I had my own children.  I feel so fiercely protective of them & will equip them with all the love I have in my heart so that they have an unshakeable belief in themselves.  I want them to know that it doesn't matter what the bullies say - they are awesome & special & spectacular beings & are so loved.

To the bullies who made my life a misery - I forgive you.
