There was a time in Jr. High where one of my friends started going to public school, but I noticed that he wasn’t making many friends, none actually. So during our lunch hours I would go sit by him. A group of girls started noticing, one in particular with whom I had already had a rough past with. And she decided to take it upon herself to put us down, and not just during lunch but another class that I had. Not simply saying that we were dating but to do anything she could to try to make me feel bad for trying to make sure he wasn’t alone. She wouldn’t listen to anything I said to the contrary and I could feel it escalating and I knew it would probably get physical. My parents told me not to hit her back so I used my words. I told her that she needed to stop being so interested in me because I didn’t like her like that. She really didn’t appreciate it and slapped me across the face. I was stunned, and thankfully someone saw and intervened. I had to report her and her entourage to the Principal and they left me alone. It was at least a year later (she had disappeared) that I started thinking about her and knowing that I would want to be forgiven of my sins and wishing I could help her. I didn’t want her to continue down the path she had started nor did I want her to feel any less love. I had already decided I wasn’t going to be like her, because I didn’t want to make others feel as I had been made to feel. I knew that love was a powerful thing and hoped it would make a difference in her life. I was able to see her as I was on a church activity and give her a hug trying to put into actions that which I didn’t feel I could express. That I forgave her and that I loved her. When people are bullied they are given two choices; to become like the bully or never to become like they were when they bullied you.
