I know that I have more to write on this topic, but I don't have enough brain cells to do it right now either. One of my classes is "Abuse and Neglect" and it's going to make me confront some issues that I haven't before. Today I had to write a paper about bullying, and that made me realize how much being bullied when I was a child has had an impact on my life too. If anyone would like to read my paper, let me know and I would be happy to send it to you (probably by e-mail). I would really like feedback on it. It's turned in already, but all I get is a grade. The teacher doesn't really comment.

What you wrote to September had some excellent points in it. I'm seeing a lot of similarity between a lot of our (collective) thoughts on this thread. I'll probably elaborate on that later too.

Looking forward with great interest to your reply to my answers.
