Robin, Your story is incredibly powerful, wow. I think many people would be able to relate but to see how you have used your own experiences to provide your kids with a loving home is so incredibly important, something I am sure a lot of parents could learn from!

Have you and your daughter thought of maybe hosting a screening of the film in your area to encourage folks to begin discussing bullying? We have seen people from across the country do it and it’s had some great results. We will be having a screening support page up and running soon on the site. Stay tuned.

Best,

Leah, thanks so much for sharing your story. My name is Ryan, I work for The Bully Project. Funny enough I got diagnosed with an eye condition this week too, to which my brothers made fun of me a little bit (out of fun I think). We don’t advocate self harm, but we know that enduring some of the torment can drive us to do hurtful things to ourselves. What I am happy to say though is that when I was younger, a teacher of mine helped me realize that beyond all of the trash talk and torment, things get better, because you can choose the life you want to lead rather than it being dictated by interactions with others you may not necessarily want in your life. Stay strong dear! We’re here whenever you need us!
