You are very insightful ...This is beautiful, Lena. You are very insightful and articulate. Yes, you were bullied, as was I. Being bullied leaves its residual scars. I have this quote from Ecclesiasticus 28:17-18, of the Apocrypha, on the wall in my office:<br />"The stroke of the whip maketh marks in the flesh: but the stroke of the tongue breaketh the bones. Many have fallen by the edge of the sword: but not so many as have fallen by the tongue."<br /><br />When I was about 16 or 17 (43-ish years ago), I was a passive witness, thus giving tacit approval, to a harsh incident of bullying by a friend of another young man our age. Even after all these years, I still feel deep regret for not having had the courage to stop that bullying. On the other side of the coin, however, there was a young man who was bullied but I was always nice to him. Later he was my dad's home teaching companion. The young man frequently told my dad how much he appreciated my acceptance of and kind treatment toward him.
