<p>What is interesting here is that so many of us still carry the scars that were inflicted on us by bullies so long ago.
I have a cousin that our family wasn’t very close to…she was an oddball girl. When all of the girls her age were wearing Levi’s and other popular clothing styles , her mother was still dressing her in Polly Flinders smocked dresses , ankle socks and Mary Janes…and she was in the 6th grade…
When I was in the first grade , I was aware of her constant taunting and when asked if I ws related to her , lied and said I wasn’t. This still bothers me today though I doubt she ever knew that I did that
I accepted her friend request when I first joined FB though my other sisters wouldn’t. I still feel sorry about denying being related to her…I wouldn’t bring it up to her though…something tells me her tormented days have been with her all her life</p>
