With the news full of Amanda Todd, many of us have gone into some deep reflection of school years where we were harassed and tormented on a daily basis.
We feel very deeply for that young girl, even though we didn’t know her.
It has struck a chord because we can empathize with what she was feeling to a certain extent.
The hopelessness, the fear, the….shame?
It was different back when I was in school, then, we were not wired into our school peers at home. The internet has made it that much worse for many kids. Running daily gauntlet on the bus (which I simply refused to use much of the time) going to school and just feeling like it was hell to get through a day. But if you made it home, and could just hide in your bedroom and have a good cry- daily…Home was not all that much better BTW.
