I'd tell myself to smile and laugh more and to take risks because who cares how it turns out it would be fun.

School photos were such a bane of my existence. I don't think I had a good one until 12th grade.Bridget A Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10163614084929568121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7489708831323538855.post-11890511594802959362016-02-17T07:55:22.048-06:002016-02-17T07:55:22.048-06:00Nothing wonderful is ever easy.

It is hard to see through the lies, but if so many would it would be breathtaking the diamonds that are hammered out of the coal of tolerance.

Turn the tables if you will. Many years later it has instilled a level of pity in me for those who picked on me. It didn't help that I am all of 5'1" and spent most of my life with the moniker "Bridget the Midget". LOL. Today I LOVE being little, people always underestimate me and I love the look of surprise I get. ;-)Bridget A Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10163614084929568121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7489708831323538855.post-48821510119947821192016-02-17T07:36:40.874-06:002016-02-17T07:36:40.874-06:00I found your post from the Facebook Group.

People who are obviously not satisfied with their own lives so havet o nit-pick at others in order to feel good. I don't have time for these kinds of people anymore and I find that standing u for yourself immediately tends to really put them in their place. Most bullies are actually quite weak and cant stand confrontation!
