   Bullying is nothing new...  But I guess I do have to agree that the   
   social media stuff puts a new layer on it...   :(   And makes it harder   
   to escape from, unless one ignores things like Twitter and Facebook like   
   I used to ignore the general gossip around me in school...    
      
    BH> I feel fortunate for that but my heart aches whenever I hear someone

   I used to get some of the flack... by standing with/up for the   
   underdogs... unfortunately, or maybe it was fortunately, that used to   
   keep me from being accepted into the cliques...  ;0  Didn't get any   
   physical bullying, but taunts can be quite hurtful, too...
