Photo shoots and moral support

Hello all:

Today I had a really great experience at the Bullies Stink! photo shoot. During the shoot, the girls talked about their personal brushes with bullying, and it confirmed for me that even when you feel like you are alone because you are being victimized; you are not a alone. Today, I felt like a lot of people were able to get some things off of their chest and have some courageous conversations. It felt really good to be a part of people freeing themselves from their burden. It felt good to be a part of the solution. This experience has me thinking...maybe I should start a group that meets once a month to talk about their experiences with bullying.  Maybe we can help each other. 

But until that happens, we got some really great pictures during the photoshoot!

Ta ta for now

New School, New Alliances

Hello all!

I am really enjoying my new school! I don't truly fit in school life; but I dont think that I will every be able to fit in completely anywhere any so I am going to make the best of it.  I am me, I am unique and I have gotten some acceptance about it.  But, the one place in my school that I fit in the most in is the band.  The band is like my second family, we support each other through everything. When you join the band, you have that special bond. In band you can be tall, short, old or young, skinny, or fat and we still will be there for you.  These things are why I love my school, and why I encourage kids to get active in their school.  Maybe you will get lucky and find that one spot that is a fit for you.  Maybe you will get luck and find your place.
