You have a great way of reaching out and connecting with all of us! Mean girls are everywhere, and boy do I know the scars they can leave! Thanks for opening up about this topic…and sharing your picture. You are so beautiful inside and out! I feel so blessed to have met you through the dream team :)

I think 6th & 7th grades were probably the worst for me, but I can’t remember loving any of them. One of my college profs (I was an education major) always said 4th grade girls were the worst with their cattiness. (I think 3rd and 5th are about the same…I’ve taught them all! And then it trickles into middle school…) I just think girls can be mean without intentionally stopping to consider how their words and actions might be affecting others. It makes me pray for my daughter even harder…not only that God will spare her from these kind of girls but that He’ll keep her from being the mean girl, too.

Thanks for stopping by, friend! :)

Third grade was about one of the worst years of my life because of bullies. I still can remember spending recess by myself while other kids made fun of me. Strange, when I saw your picture I just thought ‘wow, what a cute teenager…’. There is criticism that chews up and spits out, and at some time or another we’ve all been on the receiving end of that. Thanks for being vulnerable. 😉

And I love it that your daughter wants a perm…be sure to post a picture! (Or, maybe you should show her my picture, and she might change her mind!) 😉

It’s hard to move past those feelings, isn’t it? I’m so thankful for my Father who loves me as I am and is teaching me to embrace who He has created me to be. :) Blessings and thanks for stopping by today!

So blessed to be part of this journey with you! Hugs, friend. :)

I would agree…I think I (and probably a lot of us) spend too much time worrying about what others think; it’s definitely time for me to get past that and keep going forward. Thanks for stopping by today…blessings! :)
