This post is a follow-up to check on my friend who was bullied by children not just once but TWICE. For more on her saga, please see my post entitled:
Adults Being Bullied By Children: The Untold Story.
The Dull Co-Worker (DCW): So how are your wounds healing after the bullying?
BFF (Best Friend Forever): I still get stressed when I see children outside when I go for a walk. So far nothing else has occured. I feel that like the saying goes "time heals all wounds."
DCW: Do you ever see the children who taunted you?
BFF: No. I've never come across the little girl who had the plastic gun, but I have her little face memorized. I can see her mocking me.
DCW: How about the boy who commented on your highlights?
BFF: I didn't see his face because there was a large group of children. But I am getting my highlights done in a month and I am a bit worried. Should I go darker instead of blond?
DCW: It is traumatic when bullying leads to one questioning their next hairstyle. Do you know that my article on you being bullied was my highest post for the month of May (note: I only had one other post that month but I wanted to make feel better so I told her this in hopes of cheering her - plus I was hoping that the bullying didn't stop her from getting the highlights)? How does that make you feel?
BFF: It makes it worthwhile that I endured that pain if I helped one other adult who was bullied by a small child.
