Froggie, I hope I didn't say those words to you! They rile me up when said to me. I don't HAVE to do anything! ...unless *I* want to!
Discrimination is a hard thing to get over. I've been there. In fact, I'm really hard on people that are of the heritage that I am ashamed of. Never say or do anything to their faces, but... well... never mind. It would be better taken to PM.
Froggie, you could be the One-eyed, One-horned Purple People Eater and I'd STILL love you!
PS Froggie, FIRST, ABOVE ALL ELSE, you are HUMAN. Is your skin not quite milky white? Is your hair black? Yeah... so?? That only defines what people see at first sight. That doesn't define the kind of person you are!
You don't have to do it here, but make a list of the things that you like about yourself; from the smallest to the biggest. Dwell on that for a while. Can you do that for me?
