As I mentioned in a private email to you earlier, I found your site after I stumbled a favorite blog of mine after which you had left a comment. This piqued my curiousity about who you were because it appeared you had followed my recommendation to check out her blog (Personal Development with Corinne Edwards).

The result was I came away very impressed with “Finding Your Marbles,” sending a link to this site to a friend of mine who is bipolar.

Anyway, I also wanted to commend you on this particular article. Bullying also happens to those who do not have mental illnesses. It’s a common problem in the schools these days.

Your article on bullying reminded me of something that happened when I was in fifth grade. A teacher reached out to me with three words, giving me the confidence to later stand up to a bully a week later on the playground. If you’re interested in reading this story, you can click on my name above that will take you directly to the “bully at elementary school” story. It’s somewhat humorous but makes the point that when someone, especially an authority figure, reaches out to you, it’s bound to make a big difference.
