I normally am NOT with the vile, filthy mouth type but

I am with Chris on this one-----bullying made me what I am......

I was in a sunday school teen class once and the teens and deacon around me were

+++++++++ 'talking in tongues' ++++++++++++

I was lost---i was getting stares and frowns

-- I couldn't -----"mssskiutoppr0cmhyt -- happymealpoRkypiueywklvm"

but after the most shunnig stares from 13 year old long black hair Carmen

----I blurted out in german, Italian and Spanish

....then the frowns and growls became HAPPY FACES---and CARMEN even hugged me

but my BIA writing is Inspired by jenFad and NOT not bullied---just care and service.....
