Thank You for Putting It to Me That way!!!

Quote From: poetry47

  Even though you suffered a lot of hurt and pain; you never gave up.  You did not hide or run, but stayed and fought for your feelings.  Our feelings are what mold and shape us into the individuals we are today.  They are the product of our experiences and how we deal with what has happened to us.  You never gave up and continued your education despite the rumors.  Rumors are not easy and they should not have to be edured by anyone.  I tell my daughter who recently started juinor high that those that pick on her have issues.  I tell her to consider the fact that just maybe they pick on her because they may be jealious of her.  Sometimes that is what starts it all.  We have what they are lacking.  Even though you say you earned the title, no one had the right to judge you when they are not perfect.  You did not deserve the ignorance of imtaturity.  Love is a strong emotion and a children do not quite understand the word let alone the action of the word.  You allowed your need for fullfillment to sway your desicions and that is an action that we all do.  We allow ourselves to be led by emotions.  You have acknowledged your mistake, you have paid a punishment for it and now it is time to release your past and move forward.  You never gave up and your story will one day be able to help other young impressionable girls.  You may save a reputation with the experience you had.  Use your history to change history. 

That was very sweet of you to say.  I never thought my story could amount to much but now I'm guessing maybe it could.  After all I do know it's a problem many young girls face.  I went down the wrong path but I did come out of it alright.  My life is pretty good now even though I'm sure some of those same people would probably try to look down on me if they ever happened to run into me somewhere.   

  

I look at it as a life's experience.  Not a pleasant one but it taught me a lot & made me a stronger, more caring person.  Now when I hear epople talking trash about someone else, I can kinda read between the lines & see that they have their own issues.  Oh, & if they're calling someone a slut...  Well I happen to know that person might be a "slut" but there might be more to the story & she has her reasons for choosing her life the way she does & it's no one's business but hers.  She'll wake up one day just like I did & then she'll have a great life to look forward to because she'll have already lived her down time!!! 

  

Thanks again for that very sweet & enlightening post!!!
