After a few hours I shared it instead. I'm so glad I did because the support is comforting. I would have never done that if i hadn't followed your courageous blog. Be proud of yourself. I can't wait to hear when that baby gets here.

He is bullied or flat out ignored on a daily basis & as a mom it KILLS me! :( I know that schools are working on the no bullying projects, but I haven't seen great improvement unless there is a teacher right there 24/7! & like you said, even full grown adults are guilty of bullying, how can we teach children, probably their children, not to?!<br />Okay, done w/ my rant!

A group of girls I thought were my friends spread a rumor about me on facebook that I wasn't pregnant, I was just really fat.<br /><br />They did apologize when they were caught, AND they apologized again when they found out it was twins, but that doesn't make it all go away.<br /><br />Then last week another group of women I thought was my friends started openly talking about me on facebook because my BEST FRIEND told me first she was pregnant before them (even though she really told her family first) and they started talking about how I have to steal the spotlight from everyone and how sick and tired they are of hearing about my twin pregnancy. Something I talk about ONLY on my private facbeook and blog and message board I run. NOT all over the internet, and not where they were saying I talked about it.<br /><br />These were grown women with children, and yet when you read what I just wrote you probably imagined 15 year old girls.<br /><br />I watched a movie last night, Cyberbully on Netflix from ABC Family. It was a good insight into why people act like that. When they can't see the impact of their words, when they don't even think they are doing anything wrong, it makes it all too easy to reach out and attack someone online.<br /><br />It's a sad scary thought that the next generation is going to grow up in a world where everything is online.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285525086889595753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926880480919201378.post-92163074183910589682011-11-09T11:22:19.117-07:002011-11-09T11:22:19.117-07:00I loved this....thanks for posting!!

I love this post, but hate to think of children, teenagers, adults anyone hurting soooo much, then being kicked while they are down..all for nothing because the person doing the kicking thinks "they are justified or in the right". Its never right to bully. Never okay to judge. Never, ever. I hope to teach my daughters that by example. I realize I am not perfect at it, but I will do my best to teach them that everyone is a child of God. And so are they. I want them to be confident through everything they do and to know that if people judge them it has no value. How could I teach them that confidence if I am on the other end judging someone else for something else? Thank you for this post and reminder to be aware of even little judgements and criticisms that are just not appropriate or ever okay. You have such a good heart!Presley & Charlotte Gleasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10998213490248906871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926880480919201378.post-74177175042608540252011-11-09T09:12:48.691-07:002011-11-09T09:12:48.691-07:00Oh Kendra how true this is.

You see what they have done, but that doesn't mean you know their story. I went through very painful judgement not very long ago from people I thought were my friends, and I totally understand why you wrote this post. Thank you for posting, and I hope you don't mind if I blog a link to it on my blog. Praying for you and your little family. <3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
