if it was one thing i wish i was told when i was younger it would be that ... no one matters in school. all the people are so insignificant compared to the whole world. they are nothing! what they say or do means nothing. i was tormented since the 2nd grade all the way till i graduated minus the years i did online school since i had so many abscences. Hang in there somehow cause it only gets better! oh how i wish someone would have said those words to me. all those years of taking what the kids had to say to heart cause i thought that's all that mattered. i just hope i can instill more self confidence in my son.
