What a shame no-one told that brilliant advice to the 15 year old you, who gave up something because of a nasty bully.

Words have so much power, so much better to use that for good than bad.

Such a great post. Really thought provoking. It’s always the simple words that have such unintended consequences, isn’t it?? I try so hard to remember that when I’m talking to my kids, my husband. I hope I haven’t messed them up to badly…

Thanks for sharing this!

An Amen and a Halleluiah to that…and while we are at it, how bout taking one more step and telling that little voice that sit all holier than thou up in our wee little brains to shut the hell up.

Hahah, Jen, I gave up EVERY sport I ever tried because of stuff like that no matter how much I loved them. Softball, Hockey, Volleyball (LOVED volleyball), Basketball, etc. Tried them all because all the coaches recruited me, but then dropped out cuz all the HS girls were so mean to me because I wasn’t ‘cool enough’ for them. Cracks me up when some of these people contact me on facebook now. Uhm, no I’m not interested in hearing about your husband/wife family… go away. I try to keep that in mind now, that I’m awesome. It’s hard sometimes though…lol. You are definitely an inspiration, girl!

First of all, I would like to point out that you used the word DAMN in your post! You are totally going to alienate all your conservative Republican God-fearing readers. Therefore I think you should PUT DOWN the keyboard and quit blogging.

Kidding. Sorry, Ok, that wasn’t funny. Well, maybe a little funny… Seriously though? I do love your whole motivational vibe. You rock.

Keep your stick up! (wait, now that just sounded weird..)

(oh, and secondly? let’s find that bitchwhore using her maiden name on Facebook and ruin her social media life because that would just be FUN.)

I feel like you wrote my story! Mine was basketball and I didn’t quit right away, but I definitely flew under the radar. Now I’m struggling to keep my daughter from doing the same thing. I can see the pension for pleasing in her and it’s so hard not to yell-stop!!
Awesome post and reminder.
Thanks.

Bullies are hard to stand up to when you are in those awkward formative years though!

Glad you are giving yourself permission to shine now!!
