October= Anti-Bullying month

Since it's Anti-Bullying month I thought this would be a good day and reason to blog ;-p
This is more like a thank you blog to everyone ( "normal" people, celebrities and whoever else) trying to raise awareness.
Why am I giving my thanks? Well it's a subject close to my heart, because little old me was a victim of bullying in High-school.
Unfortunately I wasn't bullied like most people are, unfortunately-because my bullying came from people a kid should be able to trust and run to.
I was bullied by adults, my own teachers ...(sure I was bullied by other kids, but never took it seriously because I learned (being a kid myself) that most children are mean, and most often them don't even mean what they say, they do it to look tough), but if a teacher hurts you (with words) especially one you liked and trusted it cuts deeper then anything else.
I did not have anyone I could confine in, there was no one to stand up for me, sure I could trust my parents, but for some unknown reasons I was too afraid.
Back in my teenage days bullying wasn't a big issue or it wasn't much talked about as it is now a days....the number grows and I am truly thankful for people standing up, people that are well known and use their fame for the good!
I am glad that kids (especially in times like this) have artists that they can look up, artists to that have a positive influence and view of live...we don't have many like those which is sad.
I am thankful for teenagers that stand up against bullies and help their peers, even if it means they might end up being outcasts and not so popular anymore (stay above the influence!!!)..I am thankful for the few parents out there that still take parenting serious and teach their kids good values...and show their kids that no matter what religion, color, orientation-WE are all the same-, we are all one Race!! We should stick together!
That was my lil 2cents about that ;p
The last thing I wanna say, If you haven't done your good deed for today do so now
