Former Bully Victim

I started this company believing that I knew it would be something special. I wanted to be able to reach out to people and say hey, let me help you through this. I mean, I know what is like to be bullied, I dealt with it for so many years and it still pops in my head every now and again. I never stood out in a crowd or had any reason that would stereotype me as a victim. The one main characteristic I had wasn’t even a characteristic at all, I was alone.

Every bully in my life targeted me because I was alone, just that simple. It is easy to torment and pick on someone who has no one. Many individuals fail to realize that the ones that are the easiest to bully are the ones who just simply do not fit in. You always know and interact with people because as a child it naturally happens. Bullies, however, have this built in radar to know when someone will remain quiet or not stand up for themselves. The funny thing is most victims have an easier time standing up for others, maybe because they know how it feels.

I chose to stand up for others because I know how it feels. . .
