When we are growing up how do we see ourselves in others opinions or actions. How do we fit in and be accepted by our peers ?
What if we are not chosen by the popular cliques cause we are different.
What if we are teased and tormented so much we stop trying.
What if we give up on life and on people early in life?
What if you met someone whose life you can only wonder how difficult it is
for them to want to reach out over the globe to someone they have
never met before except by online contact.
What if I am the only person this person feels a connection with,
and why you ask ..I was told that I care about her.
This young person whose life I am just learning as she slowly opens
up and is able to chat with me about her young life..
That has seen so many hardships and unspeakable crulety.
That what she so much craves for is someone to care about her.
She said today she feels so bad inside as she was being teased and
tormented and called nasty names, she wanted to die.
I feel each day this young lady puts on a brave face as she wants
to be a good student and be successfull in her studies.
Someone called this girl fat and ugly and useless, she felt it deep.
She is someone that weighs all of 95 lbs and about 5 ft 4. She
says she wears a size 4 , so how can she be fat.
She tells me she feels so ugly , I told her good big hugs that
as a Mother and Nurse that I cared .
She said that she hurt so bad she was dizzy and what was wrong.
I diagnosed from what she was telling me she had an
infection and need to see a doctor, right away.
Her comment , I cant leave school , I have classes.
Promised before I left our chats to visit the Hosptial.
Our last message of the day, I wish I had a mum like you .
You care about me.
You can make a difference , One person at a time.
Reach out and touch someone.
Connect and take the time with others.
