Bullying

[dot.hawkes]

How do people handle this? It isn't just children that can be bullied, I have felt bullied today on the thread in the suggestions category, having been bullied when i was 10 I experienced the fear and trauma first hand. How have you managed to grow inside to shrug off the attempts to belittle you and make you look stupid? I had a 17 year marriage in which i was constantly bullied but for 11 years i have struggled to find myself and I am proud that I have enough self esteem to say i will never back down to bullies again, whether they be real or pixelated.

As far as I'm concerned Dot you are a goddess - and don't let anyone tell you any different. x

Only managing to catch up with a few threads now so apols for the late entry. Work, huh...? Always gettin' in the flipping way.

No idea what this other thread was about, so can't comment on that, but just wanted to add my �4.50 to the proceedings. (Cos i'm not usually one to give my opinion... oh dear me, no.)

Dot, you are often a gobby cow who has opinions galore (often totally bonkers ones in my opinion... oh yes, indeedy) but it would be a sad day, indeed, if you left AB.

Whether or not you were genuinely (deliberately) bullied, i have no idea, but if you FELT bullied, then THAT is what counts.

Don't let the bu99ers get you down - even temporarily.
