Have posted the following link in my original Waterlily Story blog but wanted to post it here as well, to make sure people don't miss it! President Obama, the Vice President, and others at the White House in the United States have created short videos about bullying for gay youths, especially, although others might benefit also. The videos are part of the "It Gets Better" project which was begun for LGBT people. Here is the link: www.whitehouse.gov/itgetsbetter.
From experience [in another area], I know that bullying can seem like a terrible thing when you're in the middle of the receiving end. But if you can reach out to a helpful person, it's not as hard to get past it! We suffer when we let the bullying get to us and let it make us feel inferior. But as Vice President Biden said in his video, the bullies are the small-minded ones! We need to get to a place where we can find our dignity and not let anyone take it away from us.
