Hi Marcus

I agree with you completely it's so horrible to think these kids are faced with this kind of torment on a day to day basis, with no one to turn to, no one to hear their pain. As to why you never stood up for people in the past I think that we all ask ourselves that now. At the time maybe it's fear that holds us back, maybe we think they will turn on us, maybe we worry we won't be heard. I think we all fear that feeling of feeling small, insignificant and so when we see someone else suffering from bullying as much as we may feel so so sorry for them, part of us is secretly just pleased its not us! What do you think?

Regards

Louisa

Hi again Marcus!

Thanks for getting back to me, I'm so impressed that you try and keep up with anti-bullying movements, its so important and whatever we can do to try and help we should. I was really touched by what you said about you hope i can extend who I am to help others, that was so nice!. I am currently a nurse so in my way I try to help people, I hope I'm always open minded and compassionate with my patients cause all I want to do is help them wherever I can. I'm actually from Scotland so quite a long way away, isn't it funny how you find you're able to speak so easily to people on the other side of the world basically! As for how I found out about BTB a couple of months ago I was feeling pretty low, I was struggling to find work and friends had moved away and I just felt lost, I know this is nothing compared to the struggles the people on here had been through, but at the time I was just looking to find a way to give back and connect with other people and help any way I could and discuss opinions and read moving stories like yours. Anyway I've rambled on enough, I hope you are well and you stay strong.
