Thanks for your comment. They are opportunities to learn, but then what happens after you learn what you need to learn? I had work situations that were very abusive and I thought "if I can overcome this, I can overcome anything", and in reality it kept bringing me down, not because I was not overcoming it, but because I kept focusing on how I was in "BATTLE" mode. And ultimately, it affected my family. I don't like to go into self-blame, but it was important for me to see how what I allow into my life affects my life, including the people in it. Now, my approach is 1. Learn. 2. Create a different relationship. Even if it means that the person is not there anymore. At some point I have to choose the reality I want to experience. Not to say that there are never challenges, because challenges can bring such incredible healing and realization to what is beautiful in our world and experience as human beings.

I have been feeling that You can only get humiliated by someone if you allow yourself to be humiliated.But then if you allow yourself to be humiliated, then you become responsible for the humiliation and not the person who is trying to score over you. More so, trying to bully someone represents a weakness and a deep rooted and Unconscious insecurity which fuels the need to bully someone. According to me, the person who is a bully is the one who is weak. and a person who can stand up and absorb the negative energy the bully is sending and digest that energy and say to himself that this energy is the one which makes me strong and this person who is trying to bully me is the person who is helping me get strong, then you sort of get so strong from within that you cannot be humiliated by anyone. everytime someone tries to bully you, you keep on getting stronger. I have been feeling that I can now absorb the negative energy people around me send towards me and use it to make me stronger. I have started doing it over the last few days. I now need to go on and see how much of it I can digest.maybe that would be a guage of my inner strength.I am anxious to see how far I go in this path. Pray for me....

A lot of third graders don't know ANY facts yet. I hope he's a resilient little guy! Bullying is such a huge issue at schools right now, and it's hard to teach students to have compassion for others if they're hearing the opposite (or nothing at all) at home.
