What's *your* story?

I titled this blog to reflect the wars that go on in schools (and even work) between the bullies and the victims. Sometimes they are harmless word fights and other times they lead to tragic situations such as suicide, school shootings, violence to the victim from the bullies, etc. This blog is for anyone who has been bullied by peers in the past or currently are being bullied. It is a forum in which to share stories anonymously, without being judged.

My hopes are to eventually escalate this blog to higher powers in support of Phoebe's Law or to create other anti-bully mandates in all schools. This behavior should not be tolerated by ANYONE: peers, parents, school faculty and staff, etc. It is truly disgusting how bullies torment their victims in this day and age, as compared to the past. As a past victim, as well as a mom of young kids, this issue concerns me deeply. I posted about my own experiences in my blog (and will share them here eventually) and someone who read them has inspired me to set up this blog.

If you have a story to share, please e-mail it by clicking here.
***Stories will be posted as anonymous***

Suggested format:

1. Subject line for the blog entry

2. Tell the readers about yourself, such as your interests, whether you're an adult, teen, or kid, what your personality is like, anything else you can think to share that would help people relate to you even more.

3. Share any and all bullying experiences you find to be significant in your life: Your own, your child's, someone who you know that is afraid to share it themselves, etc.


Please feel free to post comments on these blog entries, but I will be moderating them and will not post anything that is unsupportive or negative in any way.

I will soon be setting up a facebook account under this name to get word of this blog out. If it saves even just one person's life, I feel it will be a success. However, the more the merrier.
