I have realized over the past couple weeks that my blogs so far have focused on my own experiences, and perhaps I have come off as the victim; as if I have not made mistakes or done or said things to hurt others around me. With this being said, I have decided that this week’s blog will be about bullying and why girls do it.
I guess I was destined to be more comfortable hanging around guys than girls, and I can probably thank my dad for that. My dad had started me out at t-ball and bowling when I was five or six. From there, I learned to ski, and moved on to volleyball, basketball, soccer, track, and snowboarding.

You’ll get to it eventually, right?
